That first song has such a powerful place in my life - though I admit I never really paid much attention to who sang it, until now.

So sad, 61 seems very young to me now - it’s the same age my dear friend Linda was taken by cancer and definitely with so much more left to live. :(

Years ago I read where Fredriksson had a brain tumor, and I didn't read much more about her in all this time. I 'assumed' she had been dead for years. What a surprise to find that she died only a day ago.

Roxette had a nice sound but, over the last twenty-five years, only today did I hear a few of their hits played on the radio as a tribute to her passing.

There was a time many around me were told not to trust anyone over 30 -- that was the old age benchmark. Now, years later, I wistfully look back as to being 61 again. Sigh!

Ashes to ashes we all fall down. RIP, MF.

First time I heard of Roxette. Second time was on a repeat of Pointless last night. Final round; name any top 40 hits of Bjork, Roxette and someone else I never heard of. The contestants couldn't find an answer that zero other people named.

I heard a Bjork song once and resolved to kill myself before repeating the experience

Shame for the Roxette lady - 61 is lot younger now than it was when I was 20
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
