Can you admit it?

However, given a choice between Abba, the Carpenters, or root canal, my response is hold the novacaine and get to drilling.

I've never ever understood the fascination with Abba. They are definitely a love or hate group, and for me the latter.

Didn't care much for anything after Nebraska until the Tom Joad album. Mostly "Greetings from Asbury Park" and "Born To Run."

I hate for anyone to be miserable, but you know, it can really fuel an artist. And Bruce's first brief marriage to that model/bad actress (can't recall her name) gave birth to the "Tunnel of Love" album which has some incredible stuff.

Just some of the lyrics:

Tunnel of Love:

Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you
....
I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
You me and all that stuff we're so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love

Brilliant Disguise:

I heard somebody call your name from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard baby but I just can't see
What a woman like you is doing with me
So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise
....
Now you play the loving woman I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of
