The Purpose of the "Agnetha Petition", is to encourage the artist to record something (anything) new!
Finally got an Autographed Photo of Agnetha!
Please send an email to kw@abbapapers.com - and your name, or your comments (if you don't want to include your name) will be added to the petition, which will periodically be sent to Aggie's attention at her production office in Sweden. Our hope, is that eventually Aggie will record music or something we can listen to. Of course I'm hoping for songs, but some of us would settle for; talking to her horses, scolding the dog, reading a grocery list, talking on the phone, snoring - whatever... we just want to hear that wonderful voice again!
"Agnetha Petition List"
March 27, 2007
Dearest Agnetha,
I hereby add my name to the petition drive aimed at encouraging you to
return to the recording studio. Since your solo career began, you have
blessed us with dozens of outstanding songs and video performances. We are
very eager to hear and see more of you. Regardles of whether you choose to
perform compositions of your own or interpret the work of others, past or
present, you have the magic touch, Agnetha. You make every song your own
and spin it into pure gold.
Your fans are also yearning for the manufacture and release by a
legitimate studio of a comprehensive solo career retrospective DVD that
would include all of your original studio-produced music videos as well as
TV specials, documentaries, guest appearances, live performance clips,
interviews, etc. Listening to your angelic voice is wonderful, but watching
you perform is heavenly!
Agnetha, you are adored by millions of people around the world. You
have fans of all ages. If it still brings you pleasure to express yourself
through song, please share yourself with us again. You bring us tremendous
joy! We will never tire of you! Please allow us to dance with you again
and to cry with you again, and to once again experience the greatness of
your talent and the goodness of your heart.
We cherish you, dearest Agnetha!

"Abbaholics "undeleted"
I’m realizing how lucky I am to have found my wife… despite lots of complaints, a few awful thoughts and some tough times over the years, we’re pretty lucky. I suppose it’s easier for “regular” people to achieve this than for celebrities.
My daughter is 17 and doing fine, amazing that at that age you were topping the charts… must have been quite a feeling. She’s the closest thing to someone that I can listen to this music with… in the car I play it in the background. At her high school tennis match the girls were listening and singing along to dancing queen which my daughter had downloaded onto her I-Pod.
Buddy, thanks for trying to understand why I like this music, but I realize now that we are two different people at two different points in their lives… I can’t expect others to understand.
Any compliment to a singer’s beauty and voice, is also a compliment to the creator of all things beautiful and good.
Of course we notice other woman and dream about them, of course you’re jealous and suspicious of us. You’re wired to be and would be foolish to trust us… and vice versa. Philandering and suspicion are equal and opposite reactions, they are reasonable survival mechanisms in the overall scheme of things.
Yes! I can switch back to hard rock music, but would probably need some drugs to make it work… is that okay?
I agree that it’s not all about sex… sometimes it’s more about fascination and bewilderment. Just looking at the face, the little laugh lines, the crows feet and trying to understand my wife’s love of; comforters, pillows, application of makeup, purses, shoes, morning routine and other things that are a bit foreign to me. We, male and female, are basically each other; in reverse, backwards, upside down and inside out… perfect compliments and complete opposites. It’s no wonder that we are attracted to each other, can’t live with or without each other and can’t quite comprehend each other.
Bjorn is quoted as saying that Colouring Book was not as good as Abba, which his debatable – regardless, I still think Aggie was the most magical ingredient in Abba.
Why didn’t you get more exposure here? I think they’re right that extensive touring would have been necessary. You also were butting up against the wiggly ass era, which was beginning in the early 80s… popular among the young, but not me.
