Cheers to that!
She was a very good actress, too. Was in quite a few of Hasse & Tage's films.

Ah, they are iconic in Sweden. Made cabaret shows, movies, and wrote books, with an incredible sense for witty jokes, political satire, and also (at times) an incredible depth. Think they were active from the late 50's and into the 80's when Tage died. Usually, our domestic products rarely keep up with the international standard, as our pop music from the 80's will hint at, but Bergman, Hasse & Tage and Lars Molin did know how to make a film. A Hasse & Tage flick probably wouldn't make it through the translation, though.

Otherwise, the only thing we generally do better than most is heavy metal...

And Dave; please do interrupt! Shared fun is greater fun. What's YOUR take on heavy metal, for instance??

Well, the best answer to that is a quote from my friend Tommy Wells - a quote that I've taken to heart. This applies to all sorts of music, by the way - from showtunes to polkas, from country to emo. Ready?

"If they're payin', I'm playin'."

+1 to that. I hope some day I'll be able to say no to a job, because I wouldn't be desperate for money and I couldn't cope with the program, but I figure that'll never happen unless I marry an excessively rich, understanding and supporting woman.

Well, I have an excessively understanding and supporting wife - just not a rich one...

Dave, I think the 'rich' bit was the important bit in Joel's statement.
