Yes but do you have the "Metal Tribute to ABBA"?

Dee Snider regrets making that album; it was successful enough that they had to go back out on tour, and most of the band just wants to retire and be done with it.

I like ABBA too. We had an album at home because an exchange student from England couldn't bear being separated from them for a few weeks, so she bought the album when she arrived (or got my mother to buy it, I'm not sure which) and played it continuously the whole time she was at our home. We kept it after she left and played it occasionally.

Trying to read the annual report and strategic plan of a company who is willing to interview me for a job on Friday. Not the most riveting stuff. But I hear on the grapevine they like people who have read them. Just hope they don't ask me any questions along the lines 'who is the CFO' or stuff. I suck at remembering names of people I have never met.

That doesn't sound very likely. Probably more along the lines of what country they sell in, what are their main lines of business, stuff like that. And of course, the mission statement! If they don't have one, here is a random generator. There used to be one on the Dilbert site, but I can't find it now

By the way, I can't remember the names of people, whether I have met them or not

I use Sonar.

The way ABBA layered their instrument tracts was nice.

Not at all...almost everything on American pop radio today is all production and zero musical talent. Cynical or not, while most (if not all) pop music is manufactured, ABBA managed to transcend that.

While I'm at it, a pop group from a non-English-speaking country staying so popular for so long is itself quite an accomplishment; not one group on the charts today will be able to claim relevance in 30 years. Wonder how absurd a price tag would come of a one-off performance similar to Zeppelin's O2 performance in 2007 (Trivia: Led Zeppelin's last studio album, 1979's In Through The Out Door, was recorded at ABBA's Polar Studios. Just thought I'd throw that in there since I'm a monster Zep fan)
Quite a bit of music from indie artists is far more interesting than the vast majority of what gets airplay on the major FM station.

just watched the Newfoundland Group of the Westminster. you gotta wonder how some dogs make it into that show. there were some MAJOR faults in that group!

I need to try to get some more sleep. I've been more or less awake since 2 and it's almost 6:30. I'm really hurtin' right now and out of drugs. the Doc won't give me more than 75 at a time which is a major pain in the ass. I need to drive into town later this morning and get some more. AFTER SOME SLEEP!!!

How can you tell they have no intention of showing up when they make the appointment?

Or are these the people that habitually break appointments?

Half my morning has been spent wondering where the patients who were scheduled to see me were, since they were not here. I am sure there are lots of folks who need to see me who could have been slotted in those times. :grr:
