i remember the first time i ever found this site. it was 8 years ago. the look was different (i like it better back then) and my very first topic was ’Will Marie keep “singing like a goddess” next years? (Specially next album)’, which caused a huge fuss and discussion with old time members here like Gee, Vixzter and others.

Well...i remember back then that this place was hugely, burning hot and our basic demandings, our most burning desire was to bring Roxette back...to the top! From every part of the world our ’reports’ were mostly the same: how badly could radio stations and tv network treat our requests for Rox songs or videos.

By the early 2000’s the focus of radios and music video shows was on dance/techno bands, dirty pop stars such as B-Spears and Xtinaguilera and hard rock. We kept patient, waiting for the right ’moment’, the ’wave’, the ’revival’ Per once refered to, which would draw people back to Roxette again, in a natural way.

It seems this time is now. Even people who frankly rejected Roxette back then - some of my mocking friends - tell that would like to listen them again on the radio. Damn...we were waiting for that for so long. There are, finally, grounds to it. AND WE CAN’T EXPECT NOTHING. This bloody wave will pass - as everything in every decade - and that’s it.

My point...what the hell...in the early 2000’s we faced opposition and we truly could manage to ’fight’ for our fave band. Now...is all gone? Yea, Judith is right, we have other interests as we grow old. I was 19, now I’m 27...and married. But I’d still love to hear about them, from them and THEM again. Are we sure we can’t do NOTHING more???
