When it comes to putting up with rumours of a feud, the female half of ABBA has been nothing but super troupers.
Until, that is, last night, when Swedish songbirds Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, better known these days as the ones who sang the songs before Meryl Streep, denied they have or ever had bad blood while picking up a lifetime-achievement award in Stockholm.
“I would like to put the record straight on one thing,” Lyngstad (the brunette one) told the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. “A lot has been written about how Agnetha and I fought and quarreled with each other.
“There is absolutely no truth in that. Of course, we competed, but to good effect.”
Fältskog (the blonde) echoed her one-time bandmate. “We didn’t fight. But we have to live a whole lot of such misinterpretations.”
As for whether the group is willing to take a chance on a reunion in the wake of their box office-assisted resurgence…
“Promotion and traveling; you don’t want to do that anymore,” Lyngstad said, while Fältskog got a little bit more to the point, and possibly shed light on how those feud rumors got started in the first place.
“You’re just too old.”

Abba – the band of my childhood. My parents would play it every time they had guests over. Every time I hear it I just have to start dancing! 🙂 Those guys were a whole separate category in the field of pop music!
Ha ha. I grew up in a time where we had to pretend we didn’t like ABBA, because it wasn’t cool. Now it is uncool not to like them.
