In the last line of Party Crasher’s credits you can read “For Benson”.
Does anyone know who is?

He does - Woody has been his nick name for Asa for years and years!

Ah, thanks. Strange nickname for a woman though. What is the idea behind that?

Maybe it’s all about his brother whose name is Bengt and Bengson could be his nickname :> Or George Benson - American funky and soul singer. There are so many possibilities...

@BaseCat - Many years ago in a Roxette Review (god, remember those!!) Per said that Asa reminded him of Woody Allen?!?! Strange yes I know, but thats all I know....

@tomos85: I also though about his brother, but I guess the theory about George Benson fits perfectly.
Thanks for the answers!

Reply from Per:
“Benson was a very good friend of me and my family who tragically died early last year at the age of 43. We think about him every day.”

No idea. I also wonder why Per only writes special thanks to his son Gabriel and not to his wife Asa.
