I care too.  I'm at work for the first day today, and the radio station they've got on here (SuomiPop) has been playing Leevi and the Leavings songs all day... And just now they're obviously having some special Leevi and the Leavings hour, cause there has been nothing else on in the past half an hour or so. Teuvo Maanteiden Kuningas, Poika Nimeltä Päivi, Vasara ja Nauloja, Vakosamettihousuinen Mies, Pohjois-Karjala, Rin Tin Tin, Mitä Kuuluu Marja-Leena, Laura Jenna Ellinoora, Muotitietoinen... All those classics, and many many more.
I also used to listen to Gösta's radio shows quite often. Koe-eläinpuisto was a classic, and Teinitalo was on YleQ right before my weekly dose of Ulmanen on Friday nites. A few years ago, the late RadioMafia re-played one of Gösta's older shows during the day when I was at work, and I remember having many many hilarious moments when listening to the show.
Somehow I feel that it hasn't even quite sunk in yet that Gösta is really gone now. He will definitely be greatly missed.
