      Nope. The guitarist was in a neo-nazi band briefly many years before Ace of Base. He didn’t write any of the songs and by all accounts didn’t ever agree with the ideology and has since said that it was a mistake and he didn’t know when joining the band.

      Of course, social media being what it is, that was twisted to every member of Ace of Base being avowed nazis and I Saw The Sign being about swastikas 🤦

        On the other hand, this song is literally about a welfare queen and it doesn’t help that the jewelry she wears in the video contains the Star of David. What were they trying to say?

          Well, fuck! I never saw the video before and back in my adolescence when it was on the radio, I interpreted it as her being a serial dater/always trying to find the right man (baby often meaning boyfriend or girlfriend in pop songs) but looking back at the lyrics now and watching the video I’m thinking you might have a point 😬

    Looking back at this (and the Signs MV), I have no idea why I had a crush on the female leads as a little boy back then. They were about 20-22 at the time but look to be about in their late 20s, early 30s. lmao.

    I’m new to all of this, but be sure that this tingles as many bells as my counter-nazi alarm can get. Money wash everything, even if they are not in Argentina or other pro-nazi countries. And Ekberg is supposed to have known how much money he can lose/gain with such an attitude or sidetracking all of it. To every one his own, I’m sorry to all to push such shady groups I never tough got so deep in the politics shit, even for only one of their members with a shitty past like this. Full stop.

    But things get even more cryptic. Ekberg is also an active member of the German Marshall Fund’s Asia Program think tank. Keep in mind, the GMF was formed in the spirit of (and named after) the Marshall Plan, the post-WWII, US-led economic-incentive program geared toward preventing the spread of Soviet communism and opening up recovering nations to democracy.
