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.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

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
