It’s a compelling article, but I don’t think it actually addresses the claims about the whole group or attempts to argue that the songs have some hidden meaning. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing. Very surprising.
This journalist seems either to not know what “fairly noncommittal” means or is looking for the type of reaction you’ve given them.
Ekberg’s response has been fairly noncommittal. In a 1997 documentary, he is quoted saying “I told everyone I really regret what I did. I’ve closed that book. I don’t want to even talk about it, that time does not exist in me any more. I closed it and I threw the book away in 1987. I took the experience from it, I learned from it. But that life is not me. It’s somebody else.”
None of what the original commenter said is referenced or even alluded to in article. One member of the band was previously in a neonazi punk band before Ace of Base, and says he regrets it.
WTF? When I sober up, I got some Googling to do apparently. 😞
