Fascinating to see reactions to the song The Visitors by #ABBA- reactors are young/youngish (Americans + a Brit) and don't understand what the song is about: someone in their home as secret police come banging on the door to take them away. A reference obviously to #authoritarian regimes, perhaps more on people's minds in the '80s, but really, the relevance has never gone away. Do young people in general just have no idea about this or were these just some sheltered individuals? #music
