Abba Reunion Would Only Disappoint, Singer Says
Entertainment - Reuters
BERLIN (Reuters) - Swedish pop legends Abba will not be getting out their spangly jumpsuits again because a reunion would only disappoint their fans, former Abba singer Bjorn Ulvaeus was quoted as saying on Wednesday.
"I can understand that people are longing for Abba, but deep in my heart I know that they would be deeply disappointed if they saw us back up on the stage again today," Ulvaeus, 59, told Germany's Bunte magazine.
"Just look at our videos," he added. "That energy, that drive, that enthusiasm. You just wouldn't see that anymore if the four of us got on stage today. It's just not there."
Abba was one of the most successful 1970s European pop groups. They won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo" and subsequent hits included "Fernando," "Dancing Queen," and "The Winner Takes it All."
The group split up in 1981. Four years ago they turned down an offer of $1 billion to re-form.
The two couples who made up pop's most famous acronym -- Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid -- have long since divorced.

You mean those email propositions from Africa are not real? Damn it - I have wanted, many times, to contact them, pretend to be a long lost relative (since they typically have my last name) and for a small fee, collect the money and party.
You have rained on my parade.
I just haven't had time to contact them back - now I am not sure what I am going to do.
(of course I am kidding - I get those emails about 1-2 a week, they are interesting, but clearly a crazy scam). Unfortunately, people do respond, and get screwed big time.

Mom Celebrates Birth of Twins at Age 56
NEW YORK - A newborn brother and sister were nestled in a hospital bed with their 56-year-old mother on Wednesday, a day after their history-making arrival.
They have each found their little spot under an arm," said Art Cohan, a close friend who was in the delivery room at Mount Sinai Medical Center on Tuesday when Aleta St. James delivered the twins by Caesarean section.
St. James, who turns 57 on Friday, is believed to be the oldest American woman to give birth to twins. Little Francesca and Gian were conceived through in vitro fertilization using donor eggs
Is she a MILF?

But no - most of the things I post (that I hope are funny) I get from other people and I share with the T2J community.
