Caliente Contest
"Björn Again: The ABBA
Experience" comes to Centennial
Hall tonight. It's a stage show
that goes beyond the music of
the 1970s-'80s super group to
explore the egos and
relationships of the Swedish
foursome - Benny Andersson,
Björn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid
Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog.

The origin of ABBA's name has
two stories: One, they used the
initials of their first names; and
two, the name is a play on a
popular Swedish company
named Abba.

Both are true. The band was
originally named after the
Swedish company, but when
their career was booming
internationally - they went on to
become one of the most
successful international pop acts
ever - they realized no one
outside their native Sweden
would get the name play. So they
held a contest with fans to come
up with a name before settling
on ABBA. They eventually had to
negotiate with the company to
use the name ABBA.

Here's our question: In what
business was the Swedish
company?

Those who answer correctly will
have a chance to win a cookbook.

Roots rocker James Intveld in concert at the Hut on Friday

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 08.21.2008
John Waters fans should get a kick out of roots rocker James Intveld, who is playing Friday night at The Hut, 305 N. Fourth Ave. When Johnny Depp's character in "Cry-Baby" declared himself the king through song, it was Intveld who provided the vocals.
Intveld also lent his voice to the Waters film "A Dirty Shame," Sean Penn's "Indian Runner" and the HBO baseball documentary, "61."
He began his music career with his younger brother Ricky and buddy Pat Woodward in a band called the Rockin' Shadows. James would eventually move on to work with rockabilly vocalist Rosie Flores.
He also created a memorial album for his brother and Woodward after they died in a plane crash while touring with Ricky Nelson.
Intveld comes to The Hut with his new album, "Have Faith," a mix of honky-tonk, rockabilly and gospel-tinged melodies.
The show starts at 9:30 p.m. and admission is $5.
