2. WTF?!
So that's why I got the crack about a flaming Laura Brannigan in my ABBA thread...

I'd no idea she'd died, particularly at such a young age.

3. Hypno Hyopno Hypno
I wasn't involved in it but there were (I think) 3 MASSIVE flame wars about that. I still haven't figured out what everyone was arguing about.

14. She was a singer who had a few hits in the 80s.
Notably "Gloria" and "Self Control". Gloria was probably her most well-known song.

12. sigh
I remember that day. I was so sad.

I had just buried my pet rat, Mia, and then I heard the news about Laura on the radio. I went back to bed and cried - it was like the 80s had died.

13. Right here, right now.
Perhaps the aneurysm was triggered by one too many agonizing plucks of those mosnter eyebrows...

15. I was performing hideous pagan rites at Avebury.
Laura is now part of Gaia, the endless earth goddess we all return to eventually.
