The death of humour in Sweden

Yesterday, we picked up the news that Povel Ramel had passed away. It's a sad day. Povel was the most amazing show-man. I saw him and his KnäppUpp-team several times when I was a kid. So many of the best performing and comedy artists in Scandinavia today owe him everything. Apart from the great music and musicianship, his way to deal with text and lyrics was just amazing. What really surprised me was that Swedish Television didn't include comments from Robert Broberg!
