partners of ABBA swapped lovers. Is this true, any details? Is this
why Agnetha wanted out of her marriage to Bjorn?
Is it true unlike most other rock n roll musicians, ABBA never
experimented with drugs?

Oh, for goodness sake, that's hardly proof! The girls were not natural
stadium-stage performers, and generally hated touring and live performances.
Every move was carefully choreographed, which is why they sometimes look a
bit wooden and contrived on stage (Frida cartwheel-dancing, anyone?). This
little look would have been one of them, particularly as they knew this
concert was being filmed, and it would have just fit in with the slightly
suggestive tone of parts of "Dancing Queen". Another sad confusion of
performance with real life. At one stage Agnetha humps the leg of a guitar
player - I suppose she suddenly felt the need to release her sexual tension.
Yeah right.
All too true unfortunately...
did you ever see one of the last ABBA tv appearances, in this German tv
show where they performed 'The Day Before You Came' and 'Cassandra'?
As much as I love dear Agnetha, her gestures and mimics are not
spontaneous to say the least. She is, which I really regret, clearly NOT
having a good time.
Her repertoir of gestures (making kind of solemns moves with her arm) is
limited.
But the same goes, to a lesser extent probably, for the other three
members.
But hey, let's face it: neither is their music spontaneous. It's
intricate, complicated, intelligent, like Swiss clockwork, and you'd
almost say: so are these people.

As for live performances; I think most real successful music stars have to
have a "stage presence" in order to succeed, but I think of another art
Writing and think of Dave Berry, Irma Bombeck and Tom Clancy. All three of
them are/were clearly out of their element in T.V. appearances, but I truly
like their work.
