Garrison Keillor spins a Halloween Yarn of Lake Wobegon

keillor has a bright future singing for funerals.

Boy, you are way off mark. Here is an American who embodies the best about the US - humour, tolerence, wit, warmth, storytelling and humility. Be proud of him.

If you look up the phrase, "pompous untalented twit" in the dictionary you will see a picture of Keillor.

Here we have the storyteller's equivalent of Ronald Reagan: wow them with one sentence that makes sense and then get into a stream of consciousness of purely incohesive baloney-doodle.

stream of consciousness is a wonderful thing. You are probably jealous of your inability to access your own stream.

We recall those crazy guys we knew named:

Edson G
"Peanut Butter"
and "Mary" who taught us so long ago how to "take one fact and then bulls*it with cohesion." We note that Dr/Mr Keillor and GF 'columbine clipper' --in truth-- have nothing to say. Nada, no-thingo, zilch-skee. That is their permanent legacy.

I was right with you up to the screw everyone else bit

nickmggivney....sorry, i was just saying that don't worry what other people think...just be yourself. Don't you ever get fed up and just want to say screw it?

yeah!
A lot of very different kinds of people really can get along when we sit down to listen to a good story :)

Maybe Athens can name someone who 'got along' after listening to Mr Keillor.
