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.

American Black Lung has a pair of dates

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 09.04.2008
Fans of American Black Lung might be asking themselves what they are doing at Plush on Friday.
The group makes the kind of loud, aggressive, scream-fueled rock that typically doesn't lend itself to over-21 venues. ABL will share the bill with The Holy Rolling Empire and Juarez. Admission to the 9:30 p.m. show is $5.
If you feel out of place seeing the Lung at Plush, you can catch the band tonight at The Living Room for $5. The all-ages show will start around 7.
