I Sic Stephen Fry On An ABBA Hater

Abba: no thank you for the music

And I hate them even more now, when the flattening effect of nostalgia has lent a spurious retro-credibility to their formulaic Euro drivel.

Grrrr. I don't like that kind of talk.

Let's see what a man of accomplishment, a man of distinction, a man who has written books, has to say. I call Stephen Fry to testify:
