'I Was Played Abba While I Was on Hold Trying to Find Out About my Son's Death'

[Dr. Sivana]

ABBA is like Barry Manilow you never admit to anyone that you like their music.

When I was in college I picked up a double length Best of Barry Manilow 8-Track from the Walgreens for 50 cents, and played it to keep people from bothering me. Barry Manilow is easily weaponized.

Danger Man is good also but I am more partial to the Saint.

You don’t think they made brilliant pop records? Benny and Bjorn were highly musical.

To each his own I suppose.

[Mr. K]

Young people are going to do stupid things.

If they think they’re gonna find a way to stop all of it they are out of their minds.

There is no instant cure for stupid, only age and experience. For example I bet neither he or any of his friends are gonna play around near a 2 foot wall, seven stories up, again.

Let me guess. A young Welshman celebrating his exams falls over a wall and down a cliff at a resort—is alcohol involved? Hmmmm?

Probably, but "he fell seven floors over a two-foot-wall." That doesn't sound like a very safe situation. Plus, I'm sure the resort has a bar (or multiple bars), so the likelihood he was drinking hardly absolves them.

As per Wikipedia regarding the Spanish resort of Magaluf:

“The resort focuses almost exclusively on British binge drinking tourism, with extremely low alcohol and fast food (fish and chips) prices, and British staffed medical emergency centres located close to bar areas.”

Well, it IS the US consulate.

Maybe some Hank Williams?

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Kinda like what a fat gal and moped have in common. They’re both a lot of fun to ride just don’t let your buddies find out.

[Borges]

They are highly regarded by other musicians. By Classical musicians etc.
