Ola Salo (born in 1977), composer and singer of the Swedish pop group the Ark, was guest in a new tv-show called “Tack för musiken” (Thank you for the music). He talked about how he was influenced by different kinds of music and artists, and especially how he borrowed from different songs when he wrote the song “It takes a fool to remain sane”. It starts with Rocky Horror Show and Mott The Hoople, “but then it gets worse” he said. “In the second verse comes the Hollies, with Bus Stop!” And then he started to sing a verse of Bus Stop, and the host of the show sang with him and the audience applauded. I was surprised and delighted.

Hi Agneta,

The Ark collaberated with lots of bands, David Bowie being a major interest to me - Glam Rock was a genre of music that Ola Salo loved and knowing The Hollies inspired him as well is very cool indeed - Thanks so much for sharing Agneta - Hope to see you soon x

Hi Carrie Anne,

Cool that you know of the Ark! It’s a pity they are breaking up. Yes, hope to see you soon!
