when garrison sings ... ( 4 months ago by garyowen4ever)

when garrison sings, DYKES ON BYKES are beguiled and seduced BY KIKES ON BIKES and convert to an all KOSHER lifestyle of bingeing on MOGEN DAVID AND MANISCHEVITZ with nova lox bagles and bialys, latkes n'sour cream and borscht i'm sure. then they weekend scramble to BERGDORF GOODMAN'S, SAKS 5TH AVE AND BLOOMIES, for jimmy choo and manolo's and coach all on final markdown. then pull an all niter listening to michael feinstein and linda eder singing the gerschwinn showtoonz songbook, SHALOM!

I like the radio show the best. You can see the live recordings on TV sometimes, but the radio lets you use your imagination while listening.

You talk about ... ( 4 months ago by Maggie028)

You talk about Garrison Keillor as if he were indistinguishable from Paris Hilton. He's well-known quite simply because he's a good writer and does a radio show that no one else does anymore. He's not a cult leader; I imagine it would be very hard to start a cult through public radio. His comment is funny because it's funny. I don't know any famous people and can therefore never kiss their ass.

I agree. I saw his ... ( 4 months ago by Maggie028)

I agree. I saw his show live a few years ago, which was cool just for the experience, but I actually prefer the radio broadcast.

Everything I have ... ( 4 months ago by bloggerjoe)

Everything I have said about Keillor is true. And to illuminate you further, no one is well-known just because they are a good writer. People get "promoted" and "marketed." Even those with do-goody NPR personas like Keillor and Fulghum. Check out Keillor on youtube endorsing Obama and influencing your vote. What's that all about? It's only when you admit that you've been drinking the koolaid that you will see the light.... Keillor is just another "media star" abusing that big soap box.

There are several ... ( 4 months ago by Maggie028)

There are several different reasons people get famous, talent is one of them. Maybe that makes you feel inadequate but deal with it. I was a supporter of Obama before I saw Keillor's endorsement. Celebrity endorsements have different causes & varying degrees of efficacy. Based on your last comment, I'm going to assume you're being ridiculous on purpose to incite some kind of linguistic violence, so I'm just going to end this ridiculous debate with I'm right & you're wrong, so :-p

Are you suggesting ... ( 4 months ago by bloggerjoe)

Are you suggesting that famous people are naturally "talented?" I'll keep that in mind next time I'm watching the Anna Nicole-Smith biography on E! I don't want to debate you either. You are a drone.

I listen to this at work... because I have no TV. It's entertaining, not so much amusing.

when garrison keillor sings, RNC protestors, hooligans and vandals rush to a Brooks Brothers Store for Men and get fitted for 3 piece suits, button down white shirts, black wingtips and pin dot navy blue ties. then repare to a the union league club for scotch highballs and prime rib, as they discuss the dow jones and S&P outlook. Later they join the mormon tabernacle choir in singing the star spangled banner in advance of john mccain's acceptance speech.

In case you read this,Mr Keillor, I'd like you to know that a 40-year- old Londoner thinks your storytelling is something magnificent: life- affirming,funny and profound. And I was delighted by your support for the similarly gifted skinny black guy. You are two of my favourite Americans!

you should also know that minnesota women are big fat bear like beach balls with legs, fond of fat sweatshirts and flip flops , they dont shave their legs or underarms, use deodorant or bathe much either, love multiple tatoos , nose and ear hair, and thats their good habits.

Ditto from a 21-year-old American. I didn't quite get it when my parents would listen to you on Sunday car trips, but I found your unique voice immensely comforting, then as now. And also, just like my neighbor across the puddle...OBAMA 08 :)

I had the good fortune to see Keillor's show this weekend in Cincinnati. Just fantastic! The skits were funny and transitions seamless, the music touching and skillfully played. The most amazing aspect of this show though is longevity. Two hours of fresh material nearly EVERY WEEK FOR DECADES is unparalleled.

Garry Keillor ... ( 2 weeks ago by feurzug)

Garry Keillor waters down Appalachian and Celt music to sell to the city masses. He's a liberal who sells the music of traditionally very conservative, rural, blue collar Christian Americans - and city boy Gary does it all for the love of money. I love and play the music - but this guy is just a showman that has no link to it other than cash. I was a paratrooper and I am now a miner - in Appalachian country. I also drink and play trad folk and bluegrass. I guess that makes me a hillbilly.

Another thought, ... ( 2 weeks ago by feurzug)

Another thought, the music and some of the skits on his show I really love... it's just something... a gut feeling... about Keillor that makes me think he could really care less about it... it's all just show business and cash to him. Maybe I am wrong but he szeems to market and sell something I hold dear and true - and I do believe this rich, sated city showman is absolutely clueless as to the blue collar soul and spirit that made the music he sells. Why this bothers me - I don't know.

Yet another thought ... ( 2 weeks ago by feurzug)

Yet another thought... no matter what I think of Garry, if it weren't for his show the music I love wouldn't be on the radio.

I have been ... ( 1 week ago by DeltaUnifomDeltaEcho)

I have been following his art for about a decade now, but I've never seen him live, much less on any pictures... I know it's odd, but this is the first time I saw him ... here on youtube. And he has the kind expression that matches his personality and his wits.
