/ironic mode on

sniff sniff nobody hear is a “real fan”

/ironic mode off

Honestly, I don’t like this “real fan” adjective. I think that you are a fan of a band as long as you like/love their music, knowing about their lifes or not is NOT what makes you a “real fan”, neither going to all the concerts, neither stalking them - that makes you something else ;)

HE WAS A PLUMBER

@Ditroia

Per´s mum wasn´t a seamstress.
She was china painter and teacher in china painting.
Per worked in her little china shop .
Åsa´s mum was a seamstress.

@camilla: What makes you think I care? I believe since you don’t know any of the answers, you’re pickin’ on me. Get over high school. Besides “h-e-a-r” is for ’listening to’, “h-e-r-e” is for ’present location’.

Wow...those last two are some fans. I’m really surprised.
Yea, favorite dessert dishes at Hotel Tylosand are ’Cinnamon street’ and ’Joyride’ (this last one is some type of blue jello...very tasty).
Marie was in fact a nurse (!!!) before singing. She says she hated it.
Per was an employee at a grocery store and played at geriartric homes before becoming a popstar.
Per’s dad was a plumber (hence the name of Per’s studio: Son.Of.A.Plumber)
Per’s family had a piano, but they sold it when he was young. (My God, this one is right at the Joyride-documentary)
Per began with Pepcics when he was around 17. Graperock came a little bit later.
I’m surprised that most of you did not remember Anders Herrlin as an ex-roxette!!!!!!!! And Vicki Benckert (wow, beautiful blonde–played guitar, mandolin) Mia Lindgren (background vocals for the Look Sharp-album; seen at the Look Sharp-Live! video), and Staffan Ofwerman (Clarence’s brother–played percusion, did background vocals, and so on).
Jimmy Monell is ’Shooting star’
Per’s Garage recorded 6 trax for “GYLLENE TIDER INSTANT HITS, 1979 - 1989”, their first greatest-hits compilation.
Marie has 3 sisters Tina, Ulla-Britt & Anna-Lisa (who sadly died when Marie was 8) She also has 1 Brother called Sven Arne. Her father passed away too.
Per has 1 brother Bengt & 1 sister Gunilla (both older)
Per is about 6ft. 1in. tall (around 1.83m).
Marie is about 5 ft. 10in. tall (around 1.72m)
Per is a capricorn; Marie, gemini.
The ORFC came online around ’95. I remember they were very excited about DBUGTTC...and so was I.
June Afternoon was recorded for DBUGTTC in 1994.

Congratulations to you all. And thanx a million from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve been a Roxette fan since I was 11. Go figure.
I’m not a stalker, but an extremely supportive fan (nice way to turn it around, huh?)
Have the best of days you all.
: )

“Marie is about 5 ft. 10in. tall (around 1.72m)”

I think she’s a bit smaller than that (-;
About 1,67m..

Thanx for that, Kiwein.
But as you know, measures are so aproximate.
I haven’t had Marie that close (and still) so I can measure her exactly. But I copied that.
Thanx.

Well The article must have got it wrong about pers mum, I know he did deliviries for her.

Dave

Well...maybe he did!!!
I just named one of many things he did in his youth.
I mean, as up today I’ve worked at a fast food place, at some 7-eleven, at a movie theater and at Pfizer. God knows Per moved around too.
I know for a fact he worked at a grocery store.
But he could help his mom too.
Maybe we’ll ask him someday.
Thanx.

1) How many times per goes to the bathroom in a day?
2) How many times Marie felt sick when she was pregnant?
3) How many hair has Per?
Come on you can do better than this, a fan is a fan whatever he knows about the singers he loves. Take me for example. I know their name, their music and that’s enough cos knowing their age or their previous job won’t change my life.
Only if you are a teenager you can do that cos school apart you don’t have a lot to do (I knew everything about Madonna 12 years ago than I realized it was unusful).
Yours truly
Mino

Then, can you tell me what’s the point of shows like MTV’s FANatic?
Knowing about them makes them more like people, not some excentric swedish singers.
And you can win some contests on the way (I know I did)
So come on...bring the everlasting rage out.

“I know you were just like me when someone dissapointed you too.”
LP ROX!!!
(Ahmmm...I don’t expect you guys to understand that, sorry)

I couldnt anserw it cause I just got online havent been here for 5 days but it was nice questions u maked

About Vicki Benckert:
I was watching tales in the tv with a little boy , and I discovered this text at the end of the tale : Swedish text : Vicki Benckert.
So she is translating tale texts for the television now.
( E.g. The busy world of Richard Scarry & Teddy has a big blue house.)

Kids-TV-tales?
Wow.
That came totally unexpected.
I always thought she might be busy with husband & kids. I mean, I figured she might have a job, but not as Barney’s sidekick.
We should persuade her to come back to her musical track.
She looked so cool with her guitar strapped on.
Maybe Staffan IS Barney...
: )

I would like to think I know a great deal about Per and Marie, I mean I was a little obsessed when I was a teen. I guess I just remember it all now..... I was always told I had a good memory!!

Your memory is great...
Are you the same with math????
Then please help me!!!!!!!!!

No math was a sore point for me... history, english and languages though are my good points!!!

But Vicky didn´t stop to sing either.
She sings in the choir in the swedish version of the Chess musical.

Great, I tried something like this time ago and everyone hated it :D
