Oh, how I understand Pål!!! Magne has taken the a-ha name as hostage in his quest for climate redemption or his quest to get media exposure for his album concept.
When even Morten says that the climate concept angle is driven more by Magne than by him and Pål you KNOW there are issues in the a-ha camp. Now, Morten is probably fine with the climate agenda, but Pål certainly isn’t but probably rather naïvely assumed that “it will be fine - I just want to get my songs out”, but now he realizes that he’s at risk of becoming a footnote in Magne’s mission to be considered a relevant voice in the climate debate.
I used to be in “Camp Pål” in the later years after they seemingly stopped working towards a common goal. Now I’m finding myself even MORE in Pål’s camp…
