Alumnisohvalla Heikki Salo

Alumnisohvalle istahti Heikki Salo, useasti palkittu muusikko, lauluntekijä ja kirjailija, joka tunnetaan erityisesti Miljoonasade-yhtyeen keulahahmona. Hän on julkaissut useita sooloalbumeita ja sanoittanut kappaleita monille suomalaisille artisteille. Salon tuotanto ulottuu musiikin lisäksi teatteriin, televisioon ja kirjallisuuteen – hän on kirjoittanut näytelmiä, tv-sketsejä ja oppikirjan laululyriikasta nimeltä Kahlekuningaslaji. Keskustelimme, kuinka yliopisto-opinnot ovat vaikuutaneet hänen uraansa.
