I also love ABBA and when you put the two together it’s like magic or perhaps it is just the movie musical Mamma Mia! Apparently DH didn’t realize that it was a musical and when we sat down to watch it with G & G I he was very troubled when the main character started to sign. I could sense that he wanted t0 get up and run away but like a train wreck he had to stay and watch. Click here to find out my personal train wreck. Did you click? Yes, it is sad. I just can’t help myself. Anyway, sorry for the segue, back to Pierce. The movie was quite enjoyable even though everyone else thought that Pierce’s singing was deplorable. I was having fun just trying to guess which ABBA song was coming up next. Then there is a love scene on the beach and something happened to the DVD and a message came up on the TV screen. “Current Operation Prohibited by Disc” It was hilarious and will be a treasured moment. You couldn’t script better timing. Well, the disc got itself figured out and the movie played on and it was just delightful. The grand finale has the 3 gals and 3 guys dressed to the hilt in ABBA’s finest. Sorry, Pierce, but you lost your spandex body a few years back. You can go back to being ‘007′ any day. Now there’s an idea for the next Bond film, some ABBA music in the background along with Britney for a Bond girl. Nah, that will never fly.
