Life Dream #1 (or close enough to #1)

Have I ever told you about my ultimate life dream, Internet? It is a pretty fancy one, so you should prepare yourself. I want to be in an ABBA cover band. I want this very, very much. Very much. So much.

I think being in a cover band, any cover band, is one of the better ideas you could have as a musician. You've got a pre-established fan base and your lyrics, music and dance moves have already been figured out, as well as outfits and hair-do's. I guess some people could say that cover artists aren't true artists. But those people are snobs and will probably never get anywhere in life.

Any cover band is good, but an ABBA cover band? Could life get happier? ABBA is a straight-up delight in every way. Just look at Benny's face at 0:26 in this video. I would be Agnetha, obviously, because I am a star and because Anni-Frid is always doing weird things with her face. Also because David looks more like Bjorn. We will tour on cruise ships in the Mediterranean and it will be a freaking blast and my life will finally feel complete. And we will rock outfits like this:







I actually legitimately like the fox shirts in the first photo. Are those foxes? Or cats? Also, how cute/I'd-never-be-able-to-take-him-seriously-again would David look in those little Bjorn overalls?

We will not wear anything like this, though:



Because it seems like wrapping tinfoil around your naked body would be uncomfortable/wha?. Actually, though, if you're still looking for a Halloween outfit and you need to do it on the cheap, this might not be a bad option.
