I’m glad you got to see Arrival at the Grove too. It was a fantastic show. Waterloo is good too, I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl a few years ago, and they almost got everything right. The only complaint I had was their “Agnetha” did a Frida song, and their “Frida” did an Agnetha song.

Unfortunately, no, next month’s Hollywood Bowl show is not Arrival, it is most likely to be Waterloo again. To keep apprised of where Arrival is at, make sure to check the calendar on their site, http://www.Arrival.se. Vicky from Arrival assures me they will be back to the US later this year for more shows.

I agree that pop music today is terrible, way too much of the ghetto-thug music as you call it. I don’t listen to it either. I’m disappointed that good ol’ pop music doesn’t have much impact these days. But I do my part to keep it alive by buying the albums of acts I do like whenever possible, even if I have to import them myself because the US labels can’t get with the program.

I’m not sure yet, but I will most likely be attending the Hollywood Bowl show this year, as it’s always fun to get out an see an ABBA tribute act.

Thanks again for writing in.

I was lucky enough to see them on stage at the Grove in Anaheim and they were better than another tribute bands i’ve seen in the past. Waterloo is another tribute band which does a nice job as well. I hope it’s Arrival performing at The Hollywood Bowl next month. BTW, I used to live in Corpus Christi where I became an ABBA fan. I moved to Los Angeles, CA back in 1999. It’s a shame that young people are into the ghetto-thug loving pop music that is horrible to listen to.

Back in chilly Stockholm after 2 weeks in Texas, LA.
