1974 schaffte die schwedische Popgruppe ABBA mit ihrem Titel „Waterloo“ beim Eurovision Song Contest den internationalen Durchbruch. Die beiden Paare Agnetha und Björn sowie Benny und Anni-Frid verhalfen der Popmusik mit ihren aufwendigen Musikproduktionen zu neuem Glanz. Selbst in der DDR trat die Gruppe 1974 im Friedrichspalast bei „Ein Kessel Buntes“ auf.

Es waren die jungen Jahre der Ära Honecker, die von gewissen Hoffnungen in der Bevölkerung begleitet waren. Dabei taten sich die DDR-Spitzen mit der westlichen Musik von jeher schwer. Ob Elvis oder Beatles - sie konnten ihr nur wenig abgewinnen. Selbst bei ABBA stieß „Money, Money“ auf wenig Gegenliebe, war es doch Ausdruck einer kapitalisierten Gesellschaft.
Der Westimport von Schallplatten war ein Unterfangen mit Risiko. Entsprachen die Tonträger nicht dem sozialistischen Kulturgut, so wurden sie konfisziert.

shut up

Majik is more like trolling himself playing nanostakes starsaments, but to each his own, I suppose. I still love him

LOL I was watching Arlies stream for a half hour yesterday and he mentioned liking Rogans podcast. This week, Joe was talking to a university professor about studies in regards to sleep and obviously how important it is.

Arlie has been streaming for almost 32 hours straight. Dude, go to ****ing bed.

Arlie is also trolling FWWM since most of the buyins are 10 buckaroos or less.

it is Friday

yes

Played a scoop ticket spin and go. No ticket. Bastards.

I think I got hooked on Ignition's version of spin n go some time in the last few days. They're so fast--I can play 2-3 just during my lunch break, single tabling. And almost no one I've played against has any clue how to play their stack size in the hyper format.

I don't play them often but I'm constantly shoving when I do. Non aggro noobs call it bingo and see no value in shoving for whatever nonsensical reason.

He went down with her beforehand so obviously not Sammy.

that guy said some really questionable things

Ive played against Arlie he is not very good

happy saturday folks

Need some earbleach meow.

These two are serious freaks. Truly scary.

Are you playing poker right now Mr Justice?

All done for the evening. GL if you're playing.

Thanks I'm in the final 16 of a $11 MTT on Party. $622 for the win!

Lost two flips and busted 10th. STOML

I'm mediocre because I like to splash around so no comment. I only got interested because of RIU videos and his wild look/mannerisms on stream. Speaking of that....

I'm not saying he's terrible but he's no where near as good as the likes of Bryan Paris, and some of the others. Pretty standard low-mid reg. I think I just expected him to be a lot better then what he was cos he plays a ton.

AAaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaa

Sheep had a dream about Mr. FWWM last night. He looked like that American politician from his previous avatar mixed with Charlie Sheen. Sheep was at some kind of show in East Asia and Mr. FWWM also turned up there. The end.
