LOL - What an odd story!

Here is my favorite ABBA video (YouTube):

What a terrifying group of people.

[truth_seeker]

The premise of the article that she turned he into a “hermit” with his spell is false.

Wiki gives an accurate chronology of her career, and recent appearances.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnetha_F%C3%A4ltskog

She was successful on her own in music, before and after ABBA.

(BTW she was born in the area of some of my ancestors)

AN Irish priest who claims Abba owe him money for a gig 33 years ago says he put a curse on the band’s singer — and turned her into a hermit.

What's a PRIEST doing dabbling in the occult anyway?

Whatever happened to *Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you?*

I'm guessing that whatever mental illness is allowing him to justify such behaviors is the same or related to the same one that causes him to focus his supposed 'hex' upon a spectacularly beautiful and talented lady who had absolutely nothing at all to do with any pecuniary complaint that his fevered mind has concocted.  A pop group of ABBA's stature will have clear financial channels that they operate under, most likely managed by a massive firm and several people who do nothing but manage the group's finances.  Agnetha Faltskog would never have even seen such a bill or been aware of the financial terms of whatever arrangement this 'priest' alleges.  Any such arrangement made in 1979, if it did even exist, would have a clear and well-documented paper trail.   This whole thing is most likely a manifestation of this 'priest's' hysteria, which is why nothing has been legally resolved with it for the past 33 years.

Whatever happened to *Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you?* 

For this evil little man, such things are apparently swept by the wayside when he sees an opportunity to frighten people with his supposed magical powers.  This gives his weak, corrupted soul a mechanism for self-aggrandizement, as does this silly business of shouting it all to the world via this article in The Sun.

I am left wondering why whatever church he is affiliated with has not revoked his position and standing with them.  I hardly think that any reputable organization, much less any reputable religious one, would be comfortable having an obviously deranged individual casting hexes on people and then bragging about what he's done to the entire planet.  Something's very wrong here.

I don’t suppose this guy has ever played the White House in the last four years, eh?

[newfreep]

Patti Ann Brown look-a-like!

[Slings and Arrows]

Given the current state of the 0bama campaign, maybe he has.

Clearly. I'm of one mind with you on that.

I am ridiculous ABBA fan and have been since the 70’s. It still blows my mind that she (Frida) was the bastard child of a Nazi soldier in Norway, mother and Grandmother escaped to Sweden when she was a baby to avoid violence against her a baby for revenge on the Nazi’s and ended become a German Princess (by marriage) after divorcing the guy from Abba. Oh, and let’s not forget the whole belonged to a massively and hugely successful pop group.

What a freaking life!

I was standing beside Agnetha that night and she looked a very sorrowful woman may not have been one of Jean-Luc Godard's best films but it stands alone as a tribute to sexy, hairy, buxom Swedes whose principal drawback is they don't floss.

That "priest" sounds sort of like the subject of this song:

Which Witch Doctor?--The Vogues

Anyway, here's a song for "Father" Hannon:

I Put a Spell On You--Screamin' Jay Hawkins

It never fails to astonish me that people still believe in magic in the 21st Century.

When I was working at a public library, books on witchcraft and magic (sorcery, not Houdini-style prestidigitation, which is classified under "magic tricks") were among the ones most stolen.

From what I know of modern witchcraft (which isn't saying much, granted) such an act is supposed to "bounce back", as it were, on the perpetrator threefold.

Not that I believe in that sort of Karmic silliness, myself.

I know there’s something going on.......

One of Phil Collins’ best drum beats...ever.

Neither Agnetha nor Ann-Frid look anything other than plain to me — Agnetha’s face was blech. Perhaps I’m spending too much time in Poland :) Pretty women here...
