To hear an ABBA song is to tap your foot and shake off your troubles. I have heard ABBA songs in Barcelona cafes and Jaipur hotels. I have heard ABBA songs in German train stations and Mexican airports. I have heard ABBA songs at proms, birthday parties, weddings and every other ritualized celebration we soppy humans are hardwired to enjoy when we let our guards down. You can be poor and still gleefully belt out “Money, Money, Money.” Even a loser like me can appreciate “The Winner Takes It All.” Thank you for the music, ABBA, and for knowing me, knowing you.
