Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA in 1977
The infamous "balcony photo" of Frida and Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss. It was taken without their knowledge by a journalist who who could see Frida's apartment balcony from his office building.
I just finished Carl Magnus Palm's Bright Lights, Dark Shadows. I hope I'm not going to be massively downvoted for asking this...but is his take on the whole Agnetha stalker debacle considered to be accurate?
I know people don't like to talk about this episode in ABBA history, but here goes.
One of the many surprises in Bright Lights, Dark Shadows was that Palm's recounting of the relationship between Agnetha and her stalker was pretty much the opposite of everything I had been told by other fans.
Essentially, Palm makes it out to be a much more mutual relationship, maybe not purely romantic, but with claims that Agnetha sought out her stalker's company over that two year period and even lost friendships over her desire to keep in contact with him.
I've seen people on this sub get absolutely FLAMED for suggesting there was any type consensual relationship between the two, even friendship. At the same time, people also seem to hold up Palm as the definitive ABBA biographer and suggest others read him.
So, what's going on? Is there any source that's actually accepted as a true recounting of what happened?

The use of the word "chuckle" in every single book I'm reading.
I don't know if it's just me, but I swear everything I read lately people are "chuckling" up a storm. I get that it's word. Sometimes people chuckle. They aren't laughing at you, they are just amused. What's the perfect word to describe that? A good, hearty chuckle!
In the book I'm currently reading, one individual has chuckled three times within the same conversation, on the same page. I can't stand it. He chuckled. She chuckled. They chuckled. Everyone is chuckling! Stop it!
ABBA singer Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad was born to a Nazi soldier and a Norwegian woman at the end of WWII. She was removed from Norway as an infant for her own safety and raised in Sweden by her grandmother.
