I've heard of ABBA; just not their songs.
but I bet you've heard the Beatles, rolling Stones, or the who. All contemporary and older then Abba.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Well, you're one third right. Possibly two thirds, though I'm not 100% sure.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?

I liked ABBA myself. Of course I would take anything from that era over the earsore that passes for music today.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

That depends. Today's pop crap? Still wouldn't take ABBA, but yeah it is crap. There is good music being made today. You just have to get away from Clearchannel and Westwood 1.

Sorry but I've never heard or liked ABBA, too old and not really suiting my tastes. But that is a personal opinion though.

Brian has a good point in his OP, and if you disagree with me then fuck you.

Honestly, his analysis of entertainment worship is spot on.

Worship / cults can start with anything, a good story, a celebrity or a con-artist... so what exactly are we to do about it? Simply screaming like a nut is no solution and being skeptic about everything is counter-productive.

Brian is doing nothing different here than we already do in relation to religion.

If that was the point of his OP, I didn't get it.

I suppose atheists can make as many interpretations of something as theists do with the bible.
