Eh it’s slightly Rox related, I don’t mind reading stuff like this especially when the news is slow. What I do mind is when there was a big article on Marie in Aftonbladet and they refused to report it because it wasn’t newsworthy, but this stuff is!

what do you mean Sparvogamarie ?
he was young at 60 wasnt he to die ?

rox: when The Change came out, Aftonbladet made a huge article on Marie and made it their story of the week. But TDR said there was no new info in the article. I still thought it was news because they made her the top story, and it’s definitely bigger news than some band covering LTYH or some dude dying!

With all due respect, but Aftonbladet’s “big story” was a huge nothing. TDR had published 99% of the info in that article already, so we chose to publish the final 1% at that point. Enough said about that.

I think its pretty newsworthy, considering Marie’s work with him on his duets album. I thought “Ett Minne Bättre Glömt” was a really nice song

I think it was liver cancer. he had a tomour in his belly but they removed it successfully, but the cancer came back and had been spread to the liver... sad but true

I was reading DN just to practise a little ’svenska’ (been studying for some months now!) and thought it was worth publishing in TDR... I was sorry it wasn’t a nice news, but it was news in the end.

I am sorry to hear about that. I didn’t know a lot of his stuff, just those two duets he did with Marie. Folk is not my cup of tea, but those songs were pretty good.
