Mmm yes hello I am Garrison Keillor.

i liked that one too.

We did have Nancy's show a year or so ago but then it ended. I assumed it was maybe a limited run thing? or maybe they just plain got rid of it! wouldn't surprise me. yeah, I thought it was great. and yeah her voice is tops. like a cool drink of water. the profiles are nice and varied. I remember really enjoying the Toots Thielemans one. you can never hear enough Toots Thielemans

i used to like piano jazz. haven't heard it in years though.

you're fucking kidding. no reason to even listen.

(9:00 in the morning? They crucified people at 9:00 in the morning? That is barbaric.)

yeah, it's dumb. at first, they claimed that they were moving all the music shows to a separate station that would only play music, and then they backtracked and decided that the second station would focus on "non-traditional community-oriented programming" or something -- but that they're still going to cut all the music from the first station.

as long as herb kent the smooth gent is still on the air, chicago radio might not be too bad.

this is my favorite one-two subject/first post punch on ilx

i woke up today to the alarm playing garrison keillor reading a poem about a cow

I like GK and Prairie Home Companion and I liked his Mr Blue column on Salon and I want to massage his balls 4ever.

I went to a Minnesota symphony orchestra performance outside beside a lake today and the Keillorgeist was so thick. So many rich white people and their dogs and their jogging strollers.

I once took a check from a woman at the Minneapolis liquor store I worked. Her last name was Keillor, so I asks, "ha, any relation to Garrison?" And she coldly, coldly replied "Why yes. He is my cousin."

...but doesn't he look almost like Laura Palmer?

Prairie Home Companion represents the limit of my ability to understand whiteness*. my dad is an NPR junkie and sometimes he'd try to listen to it when I was in the car. when it got to the "punchlines" and people softly laughed we would look at each other like "wtf could possibly be going on right now?"

*for comparison, Car Talk seems to involve a kind of whiteness, but it's much more accessible. that's my favorite NPR program (my dad's, too; as far as I know it's the only thing that makes him laugh.)

For fucks sake. Car Talk feels like a calculated attempt to tack a blue collar on the NPR rundown... everyone who calls in seems to be the same insufferable grad school douche with an '82 Volvo that he keeps around cuz it makes him feel all Nantuckety, VOMIT

Keillorgeist vs. Nantuckety

haha my friend in college used to date his niece (i think that was the relation, either way her last name was keillor)...she had kind of the same reaction, she was like "oh yeah i know GARY"...she always made a big point of calling him "Gary" cuz I guess that's actually his name and he just made up the "Garrison" deal and his family thinks he's a douche cuz of it and maybe other reasons.

i like this show okay. it reminds me of being a kid, grandma loves it.
