Bjorn Ulvaeus wants cash to be abolished because his son's apartment was robbed, and he had the epiphany that the robbers were going to convert the goods into money.

Let's not forget the guy is BRAIN DAMAGED.
This is the same guy who CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER TOURING WITH FUCKING ABBA!!!!!!!!
Yeah, that's right. The same guy who wants to do away with paper money entirely, LITERALLY CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER MONUMENTAL EVENTS IN HIS OWN LIFE.

Now...
People like to speculate his memory loss was due to extensive drug use.
But really, the way he's acting now fighting so hard for a cashless society, it really makes me wonder if mind control isn't at play here. It sounds like some shit right out of Men In Black. Memories wiped and now he's a machine for the NWO agenda!!!

You can't MAKE THIS SHIT UP!!!
OH YEA let's listen to a fried old hippie who can't even remember his own life, let's take his word for it, a cashless society must be the answer to all the world's problems!! I wonder if he'll even remember advocating for a cashless society a year from now? LOL

I've had this song stuck in my head (which first of all like why) and the more I think about the lyrics, the more I'm like wow, Abba was really talking shit.
Wishing every show was the last show?? Like excuse me?? Guess we just won't come and see you then, like fuck you too.
Oh, your significant other is in the audience and THAT'S why you're happy tonight??? Like, what??
It reminds me of what Billy Corgan said that one time...
Bands get super successful and then they start singing about being on tour, and they become less relatable.
I was always like nah, songs about touring CAN be relatable if you've traveled at length or something.
But now I get it, like I think he was low key salty about the lyrics of some of those songs like I am.
Abba seems like such an innocuous band on the surface but this song is just rude as shit IMO.

And they've got these circus performers in the video trying to pass it off like maybe they mean it's the way THEY feel about it...
Like bitch no, circus performers risk their fucking lives pretty much DAILY, multiple times per day, to bring a captivating and awe inspiring performance.
They're not looking at the audience like OMG why are you bastards here, so annoying, pft.
No, they're trying to DELIVER and giving it heart and soul every time...
Meanwhile Abba is over here singing the only widely accepted disco that pretty much ever existed and even dudes would admit they liked, and they're being cunts about it.
I'm just saying.

Or maybe it was an attempt to compare THEIR touring lives to the circus, which is sooooooo demeaning to the circus...
Where, AGAIN, people are doing actual INSANE shit, stunts and performances these Abba dicks could never even come close to...
There aren't parallels there. At all.

I used to fucking love Abba as a kid...
I had the ABBA Gold CD and listened to that shit so much that it was scratched mega hard and the last like 3 songs wouldn't play anymore.

They actually were.
I'm so offended.

I just Googled what the song means to see what people are saying...
They're trying to paint it like it's just a love story we should all gush over cuz AWWWWW they're soooo tired, but everything gets better when their main squeeze is in the audience?!
Like fuck off, no, sorry, it's offensive okay.

Even Waterloo is a better song than Super Trouper.
