Toronto writer and trivia master Terrance Balazo joins the show for a deep dive into the history of the Fleetwood Mac of Sweden, ABBA. From their origins in the European "Schlager" music genre and the contempt for the group in Sweden in their early days, to their legendary victory at the Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo" that instantly broke them in England and kicked off ABBAmania around the globe, to the spectacular disintegration of the band in the early eighties, and forty years later, their unexpected 2021 album Voyage and their bizarre and ambitious new hologram reunion engagement starting this March in London.
