Entertaining flights of fancy, mania as well as paranoia, was necessary on my journey. I just had to allow reality to reel me back in when I got off track too much. It's helpful like that.
(that's what I meant when I said, being intentionally crazy freed my soul and grounded my spirit btw)

MANIA, le plus grand hommage à ABBA revient en France pour une tournée événement
Après avoir conquis le public lors de sa précédente tournée, MANIA, The ABBA Tribute, revient en France avec un spectacle hors norme. Véritable plongée dans l’univers du mythique groupe suédois, le show sera de passage au Dôme de Paris le 17 octobre 2025, avant de sillonner l’Hexagone pour treize dates exceptionnelles. Un rendez-vous incontournable pour les amateurs de disco et de pop intemporelle.
Un hommage spectaculaire à un groupe légendaire
Une tournée française très attendue
Le phénomène MANIA s’apprête à faire vibrer de nouveau les scènes françaises. Considéré comme le meilleur tribute à ABBA au monde, le spectacle fera escale dans toutes les grandes villes de l’Hexagone en octobre 2025. Point d’orgue de cette tournée : une date unique au Dôme de Paris, le vendredi 17 octobre, qui promet d’attirer des milliers de fans.
Un voyage dans le temps grandeur nature
MANIA, The ABBA Tribute, propose au public une expérience immersive d’environ deux heures. Bien plus qu’un simple concert, il s’agit d’un véritable voyage musical où les spectateurs auront l’occasion de chanter et danser sur les plus grands succès d’ABBA. De « Dancing Queen » à « Waterloo », en passant par « Gimme, Gimme, Gimme » ou « SOS », chaque tube retrouve une seconde jeunesse sur scène.
La fidélité absolue à l’esprit ABBA
Des détails soignés pour une expérience authentique
La réussite de MANIA repose sur son extrême fidélité à l’univers originel d’ABBA. Tout a été pensé pour recréer l’atmosphère des années 70 et 80 : costumes à paillettes, semelles compensées, boules à facettes, jeux de lumière et même l’accent suédois des interprètes. Chaque détail contribue à plonger le public dans une époque que l’on continue de célébrer avec ferveur.
Une scénographie digne des grandes productions
Au-delà de la fidélité esthétique, MANIA s’impose comme une production d’envergure. Chorégraphies millimétrées, instruments d’époque et énergie scénique offrent un rendu impressionnant. Le spectacle ne se contente pas de reproduire la musique, il en restitue toute la magie visuelle et festive, transformant chaque représentation en une fête collective.
Une communion entre générations
Un répertoire intergénérationnel
L’une des forces du groupe ABBA réside dans la capacité de ses chansons à traverser le temps. MANIA le démontre encore : qu’il s’agisse des nostalgiques des années disco ou des plus jeunes, séduits par les comédies musicales comme Mamma Mia!, chacun trouve son bonheur dans ce répertoire universel. L’énergie partagée lors du show reflète cette communion rare entre les générations.
Une ambiance festive garantie
Au fil des concerts, le public est invité à reprendre en chœur des refrains connus de tous. Danses improvisées, applaudissements et ovations ponctuent chaque performance. MANIA transforme ainsi chaque salle en piste de danse géante, où l’on oublie le quotidien pour retrouver l’esprit festif et insouciant des soirées disco.
Le retour de MANIA en France est bien plus qu’un simple hommage : c’est une célébration vivante d’un groupe qui a marqué l’histoire de la musique populaire. Rendez-vous est donné le 17 octobre 2025 au Dôme de Paris, avant une tournée nationale qui s’annonce triomphale. Une chose est sûre : les fans repartiront le cœur léger et les refrains d’ABBA plein la tête.

Here's another great snippet from Ed Zitron's takedown of generative Ai mania:
"Generative AI exists for two reasons: to cost money, and to make executives look busy. It was meant to be the new enterprise software and the new iPhone and the new Netflix all at once, a panacea where software guys pay one hardware guy for GPUs to unlock the incredible value creation of the future."

1/2 I played the alto #Saxophone growing up. Originally it was about being in band where all my friends were. I chose sax because it they had one and it looked easier to carrier than everything else. I sucked for at least a year. To sit next to the second chair player (a cutie) I needed to be better: move up the ranks. #Mania helped a lot. Over the summer (leading to high school) I practiced all day (meaning at least eight hours, maybe more), everyday. I played from songbooks. I played to the radio. I just played. When placement for the high school bands rolled around I ended up first chair, ahead even of the seniors. She also ended up first chair … of the concert band. I was first chair of the symphonic band. We weren’t even in the same class. (I won’t go into sitting next to the first chair French horn player, who was kind enough not to notice my crush).
During this time I moved from playing just to manage where I was sitting to playing because I liked what I was making. The music and sound became more important to me than anything else. There were saxophone players I wanted to play like, but that’s not what I wanted to sound like. I wanted to sound like Annie Lennox, Aretha Franklin, there are new names today. I wanted to sound like a French horn. But I did want to play like some of my saxophone heroes. Near the very top, if not the top, was #JayBeckenstein, the front man for #SpyroGyra. I was well under twenty but saw him at Blossom Music Center at least once, possibly more. My friend and I devoured their music. He made me want to play the saxophone.
