Some of you might be wondering, who on earth is Morten Harket? I give you:
Now, do you remember?
As my family and many of my friends know, I had a crush on a-ha for years. Years and years. I never got to see them live when they toured Australia in 1986, because my parents said I was too young to go to Melbourne for the concert (we lived in the country). So in 2005 I flew to London to see them live on stage at Wembley. Best. Concert. Ever.
I also went to London again in 2010 to see them perform in their farewell concert at Wembley, because, you see, a-ha is no more. They went splitsville after 25 years together. *pouts*
The power of my teenage crush is such that my brain still retains the birth dates of all three members. And when I looked at the date today - 14 September - my first thought was, Happy Birthday, Morten.
Oh, and my second thought was: today's the day I'm blogging on the SuperRomance Authors Blog. So I did that. Go there and check it out.
It's important to note that in most sensible places (like where I live) today is 14 September, not 13, like Blogger seems to insist it is. Although it is still the 13th in Norway, so I guess technically, I am a day early...
ReplyDeleteYour a-ha addiction is well documented, Emmie :-) I have to say, I *eventually* got over David Cassidy (OK, it was a half-generation earlier, ok?) but when I saw him on TV recently I thought, oh really? Must say Morten looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteNever fear, I remember David Cassidy! I agree though, he hasn't aged as well as Morten. Must be those nordic genes!
