I'm catching up still with the Christmas 1976 episode, which is one of the best yet, with several laugh-out-loud moments. Except Taylor on ABBA... On "Dancing Queen", Simon says that the women must be in their late 20s. "Naw, older," Taylor growls with authority, but only half-correctly. In 1976, Agnetha was 26; Frida was 30.
Later, the tax write-off for the costumes... Well, firstly, if tax write-offs are legal, then what's the problem. It's it like they write off Armani suits for their leisure under the guise of a business expense. One could also read Benny Anderson's comment as, "We'd not have spent as much on our stage costumers if they hadn't been tax deductible". And as the four members did not put their income in a tax haven but deliberately kept it in Sweden, so as to support the fiscus -- also, as per Benny Anderson -- it seems that ABBA are more social-minded and more ethical than many pop stars.
