Its "Prairie Home Companion" you twit.  Garrison Keillor is an anachronism, a
hold-over from the days of the flower children at Haight and Ashbury.  His
stuff appeals to those people who have their heads stuck in some idealistic
rural nirvana that never existed.  Its a bunch of touchy-feely, warm and fuzzy
reminiscence that makes your skin crawl.  But the bottom line here is, he's
just another former 60's liberal ideologue who thinks he knows something about
the real world, and in fact, understands nothing at all.

Stan is right, and I know that because I made the mistake of actually paying to
see the schmuck once, many years ago when he was still hot.  That was before I
really knew anything about him beyond that people were raving about his stuff. 
I got up and walked out after twenty minutes.
