The black sun rises

Juice Leskinen (1950-2006) was one of the most famous singer-songwriters in Finland of his time. A genious lyricist who left a lasting remark on Finnish musical folklore. On many ways he was a mirror to a Finnish soul, a quiet humble man who drank like the next one. And the fame and moderate fortune only increased his addictions. Despite Juice's untimely death, he had a strong and productive career, therefore it would have deserved a little more in-depth approach and his aplenty classic songs the coverage they'd quite rightly deserve. The spirit of the age was executed nicely though.
