We all agree that our first reasons to appreciate Roxette in the present time it’s the fact that they are, at least, one of the last band pure-motivated in the world…or almost. They strive to don´t look exaggeratedly commercial, they don’t go for silly lyrix…they are not supported by super big entertainment/food-related companies…they’re not in USA, “the big ‘world-corruptor’”…

But if Roxette, in the next album, finally reach that “top” we all wish to them? I mean, if their moving to Capitol really result in a pump up, in a #1 in US? How will we face them if they start to appear in pics on McDonald’s huts, in Pepsi´s commercial videos, in David Letterman’s, Conan O’Brien’s (is him still alive?), Larry King’s shows? What if they simply blow in US and in every anglo-language country?? It’s some sort of alternative reality for us, living this 2002, but they had such success in the early 90’s. But now…we’re living the super-information, the super-knowledge, the super-exposition era. How would we face them if everybody – including those ones who appreciate the ‘trend-band” (we know who they are) start to like them? Wouldn’t you feel, like…a bit jealous? ‘Cause the fact that Roxette isn’t a hit maker by now, turn them in a kind of ‘exclusive choice’, made only by those ones with an oracle vision for music, with a mini-Sweden in the heart, us…like if we all had magic (and scholar) eyes. How would you feel if they exploded in US again, and turned in a fever? In Brazil, when something becomes public-domain, we call it as ‘cow meat’, ‘cause everybody knows quite well how does it taste. Everything that hits Europe, seems softer, more mind-asker, less fast-food styled…so, in this Twilight Zone World, how would you feel? Normal? Common? Queer as…everybody?? Just another fan…like a Britney’s one? Hmmm…just one more stuffed- belly upstart?

And…think about it…would we have so much to talk about here in TDR? Would we lost our friendship and union, and…well, our reasons to make the “deeper and deeper analyses” - since TDR was found - to talk about their #1s here and there? Would we, in a general way, lose our spirit – to appreciate Roxette, no matter how successful they are in that moment – or would we be “maladjusted”??
