shapinglightAll right, you disappointing Bohemian Rhapsody lovers, here's another one for you.
According to my daughters, I am the only woman in the western hemisphere who hasn't seen/has no desire to see Mamma Mia. This is because I don't like Abba. Okay, I get that they're better than almost everyone who has ever won Eurovision. I get that their songs are musically complicated, even if they don't sound it. I also get that if you grew up with Abba, you're more likely to retain a fondness for them, and since I wasn't (it was early Beatles for me, and yes I do prefer early Beatles to later, surprise, surprise), it's less likely I would (especially as, IMO, they're almost impossible to dance to).
So Abba -love or hate? Mamma Mia - a guilty pleasure or so boring you fall asleep just thinking about it?
Still don't have a 70s icon, but I think Father Ted goes with pretty much everything.
