Frida Lyngstad

After ABBA, Frida did 2 solo albums in the 80s. The first was called Something's Going On and was produced by Phil Collins. It contained a great song called To Turn The Stone. It was written by Giorgio Moroder, the German dude who worked with Donna Summer.

TO TURN THE STONE

The moon retreats behind a silver cloud

As darkness throws its cloak towards the earth

And mystery replaces what we thought we knew

To turn the stone, to turn the stone

The one dimension only shows one side

But do we see the same through different eyes

As you and I peer into life's kaleidoscope

To turn the stone, to turn the stone

Eternal sands of time shift endlessly

Behind a veil of motionless disguise

An eyelid flash is all it really seems to need

To turn the stone, to turn the stone

Frida's second album was called Shine. I really preferred Shine to the Phil Collins effort as I have never been a fan of Phil's. Frida went for him big time.

Here is Frida's album, Something's Going On. Phil Collins produced it. I have had reservations about this album because I feel like Phil Collins was overexposed in the 1980s. A Frida fan on an ABBA forum criticized me because I am obviously partial to Agnetha over Frida. So, here is Frida's first solo album after ABBA. I will say, "To Turn The Stone" is a fine song.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
