sure it isn't about the Spanish Civil?
I wasn't sure, I knew the Rio Grande mentioned in the song is in Mexico and featured in the Mexican war of independence, but then lisstening to the rest of it I wondered if there was another Rio Grande in Spain and the two characters were maybe Republicans - but then I Googled it.

What, the bit where you said “Anyone who doesn’t understand that music is purely subjective has no idea of music.“?
Sharp as a whip as always 😆
Naughty dez.;-)
Fwiw I love abba. They played "the visitors"on the radio this afternoon and I had a little dance.
Abba are a guilty pleasure of mine, but I've never gone through the whole back catalogue despite always meaning to - I swear, if some of the more uptempo songs they wrote were by some never before heard of obscure 70s disco band, recently unearthed in a dingy record shop in Soho people would lose their minds.
I came home one night a few years ago (blazing) & watched some Abba documentary on TV, there was a live performance of a song on it - the name of which I missed and have never heard again - that I remember thinking at the time had the best bassline in the world. The only thing I can remember about it was a line that sounded like "something kinda stupid" and was repeated a few times, obviously as I was somewhat impaired by powerful drink I could have misheard / dreamt the whole thing, but does this sound familiar to anyone? it's driven me mad for years, every time someone mentions abba it pops back into my head 😆

Hmmmm.....
Summer Night City?
We've just had a bit of an ABBA night.
Gin and You Can Dance on the Wii may have been involved.
The neighbours were well impressed, they've been banging on the wall to show their appreciation.
🙂
No taste in fine music, some people......
That's a cracker, however my admittedly cloudy memory is telling me there was more of a funk involved - will do some investigating today seeing as its fresh in my memory & the weather's guff... they only wrote a few dozen albums, it'll be in there somewhere 😆

Although, I rather preferred Frida, myself.
