Any other readers/devotees of PopBitch? According to Wikipedia, "Popbitch is a weekly UK-based celebrity and pop music newsletter and associated dating website from the early 2000s. Much of the material for the newsletter comes from the Popbitch message boards, frequented by music industry insiders, gossips and the casually interested. The board has at various times been credited for celebrity rumours (both false and true) appearing in the press, and the coining of many expressions that have gone on to enjoy wider usage."
Well, this weeks bulletin includes a mention of Frida that couldn't be more 80s if it had giant shoulder pads, dayglo gloves and teased hair.
Irish artist and former presidential candidate Kevin Sharkey has been telling a great story recently about his younger days. In the mid-80s he'd been working as a cleaner for Kirsty MacColl and the two of them became friends, so Sharkey found himself invited to her wedding to producer Steve Lillywhite.
Naturally, Kirsty and Steve's wedding was a star-studded affair. Sharkey was delighted to attend and got all dressed up for the big occasion but, unfortunately, was a little distracted during the ceremony.
That's because one of the celebrity guests he'd shared a car to the church with had offered him a quick line of coke before the service – Sharkey's first, which he enjoyed so much that it led to a six-month addiction.
Not that Frida from Abba could have known that would happen, of course.
