this is all of course completely off subject.. but I thought the 'bjorn
andersson" could be a tribute. ;-) it's not unheard of!
my computers names are Tony, Mike, Peter, and Phil. it's a partial tribute,
I ran out of computers. brownie points to anyone who can tell me who it's a
tribute to ;-)
But I also like mozart, and am actually going to see a live performance of
the magic flute next weekend. and the last live show I saw was Mamma Mia
:-D
The real measurement of quality is IMHO staying power. the fact that
Mozart, Abba, and AR are still avidly followed. I bet we won't be hearing
britney spears on the radio in 10 years, but we'll still be hearing dancing
queen.
