Vem - Olle Adolphson

Olle Adolphson (born May 2, 1934 in Stockholm, dead March 10, 2004) was a much loved Swedish writer, singer and songwriter. Adolphson's theme was, according to himself, "to see the great in small things and the small in big things". Some of his most loved songs follow that description, for example Gustaf Lindströms visa ("The Ballad of Gustaf Lindström", about the human victims of urban renewal), Trubbel ("Trouble", about male disappointments and defeats), and Nu har jag fått den jag vill ha ("Now I've got the one I want", about the futility of getting one's wishes).
