Had knee replacement surgery today, age 77. It was successful, the pain so far is mild, however I’ve been sitting up all night awake. Came across Garrisson and he cheered me up, I realize how much I miss listening to him weekly.
It was the end of an era when Garrison stopped doing Tales from Lake Wobegone. He was a master story teller and brought to life an era and a way of life that has gone by the wayside. Sad..... I grew up in Milwaukee, WI and can very much relate to these stories.
I used to set aside a block of time each Saturday to sit back, smoke my pipe and listen to Prairie Home Companion. It was the most peaceful time I had all week.
I also always made time to catch PHC on Saturday night, or the rebroadcast on Sunday. There was never a show like it, or will there ever be again. He is the unchallenged master of storytelling. I really miss the show and all the great guests.
I remember the evenings just at dusk and the soft voice wafting over the radio. "It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon"... peaceful, dreamy, relaxing nights haven't been the same since.
Quite something. I haven’t thought of GK in years. But this showed up so many gave it a listen while walking. As I listened I thought about how when I was younger and different this story really would’ve connected with me, taken over my mind while listening. But now I saw it as just a story, a curiosity of the past. However I kept listening as I enjoy his voice. By the end of my walk and coincidentally the story, I found myself drawn in and truly enjoying Lake Wobegon once again. That a story which seems so flimsy can come together in the end is a testament to GK and his craftsmanship.
This reminds me that I'm so fortunate to have gotten to experience small town America in the 1960s, when I was a youngster. When many of those places were prosperous and populated with memorable characters.
When I was a college student on Long Island in the early 80s, I discovered A Prarie Home Companion one Saturday evening while sitting in my 1974 MGB. I thought, "What is this?" I was hooked instantly. I spent many a Saturday evening during my senior year in my car listening for an hour. It was soothing and relaxing after a week of study and work, reflective of an America beyond the noise and crowds of New York. PHC faded away during grad school as focuses shifted and by the 90s, I had stopped listening. Finding this on YT just now is a treat and reminds me of things forgotten and a life now distant.
PHC helped me get through five months of chemo - 17 years ago. I would lie in the afternoon sun on my yoga mat and find peace and humor in G Keillor’s voice.
My wife and I listened to Mr Keillor every Saturday night through the eighties, and then when they took the show to Disney. We saw the live show at Radio City Music Hall, then the show ended due to an early retirement. A year or two later, the show came back in a different incarnation, but still the same News from Lake Wobegon. We might’ve listened to GK longer than just about anybody. Then poof! One day an irrelevant news story came over the airwaves, and then mysteriously, we lost him. Our connection to a sweet, sentimental fictional world that never really existed was altogether gone. All the people, places, and stories vanished all at once. It’s so wonderful to know that it’s all still there in GK’s and all our imaginations. Let’s hope that we never lose it again. And to paraphrase a short story he gave us, one day we’ll see an NYT obit. And a wake is a wonderous party in our honor that we miss by only a few days! Live long and strong!
Yeegh this program made my day. I grew up in what was Farm Country .I didn't move to the City it moved in on me. The old folks had Paul Harvey on and the Garrison. In the Kitchen or the Barn. It's comfort listening like Mom's Apple pie or Thelma's Strawberry Rubarb. It's Warm and kept your mind off the bills and the weather.😁👍
Ahhh....just brilliant! My wife and I have great memories of milking the cows on a Saturday evening at five when PHC would come on the radio. Looked forward to it all week. Even our four little children would stop at the radio in the barn and enjoy the singing and story telling, the skits and the joke show. The cows are still being milked in the barn every Saturday evening, and the grown children still show up to pitch in but we must now listen to music on CDs because the radio airwaves are now filled with stupidity beyond belief. Sad.
So glad to see this tonight, driving home from work at 10 pm under the autumn trees that line my small town’s Main Street, all decorated for Halloween, too. 🥰🤗🙏🏼
We went to PHC at the Starlight in KC. I was HOT sweat rolling down my back. It was the best show I ever saw. And I worked concerts for many years! Miss you Garrison
Found by accident - AWESOME - my home town Upper Michigan - Keweenaw County. Thank u! Made my evening at 88 years of age young! Missed since off NPR as a regular listener over the many years!
Former Yooper here. I listened to Lake Wobegon as much as possible, and watched Red Green back in the day. Haven’t been back to the Keweenaw for a while; listening to this is reminding me to maybe make a trip (after the snow melts, say…June? lol)
Master story telling! I am from Minnesota and have always loved these brilliant monologues with all the surprising directions they take. I heard about the program from a following of people from Maine, who turned in every Saturday night to get their fix. The great thing is that there is a huge legacy of Lake Wobegon stories by Garrison Keillor available. It is sad how it all ended after so many years. The body of work is impressive and timeless.
A story teller like no other. Garrison brought the same kind of story telling during WWII. I and many folks (during the 1980's -90's) would plan our Sat evening to 90 min., "yes 90 min. and much too short" as my older friend told me one Saturday afternoon as we sipped Maker's Mark bourbon mint julip's watching the Kentucky Derby. Still love to hear Garison spin color and drama in a way that keeps us listening like the story has been told specially for each of us.
On Sundays in Australia about lunchtime the Prairie Home Companion played on the radio many years ago. It was a show I loved and looked forward to each week because I loved the stories that were told. What lovely times and memories this story bought back. 🇦🇺🦘
At 78, as we lose family and friends over time, finding this channel has been such a blessing in getting back to those warm feelings again. Montana ranch communities have Norwegian bachelor farmers too👩🌾 Thank you for the grief relief . Have subscribed with gratitude. Weekends have a ray of sunshine 🌄 again no matter the weather. Thank you..
Thank you for showing these on line I loved them on the radio and missed hearing them. ❤️ so funny and heart warming and comforting. What we need in the very troubled current world
Discovered Prairie Home Companion sometime in the late 70’s when i married a lady of Swedish decent LOL. ..we saw his traveling show sometime in the 80’s when he brought the radio show to the Paramount Theater in Portland Oregon. Talk about down home…one of the warmest heartfelt evenings I’ve ever had. Amazing. And of course the sound and texture of his voice. One of the most soothing voices to ever grace the airwaves.
My father loved your show, Garrison, as we all were. Iremember he and I sitting in the car in the garage and listening to you, sitting quietly together. It was a memorable one for me. God bless. I am glad you're getting these out to us. a MN then VT fan, I am.
Keillor’s voice narrated my young adulthood, taught me the small-town values I craved, and to understand Christianity in a simple practical way. (Was raised by anti-religious parents)I still miss the show most Saturdays
I miss this radio show. When I went to a state park with my Beatrice who was a border collie and needed lots of exercise I’d listen to it on the radio since 2002-2003 until it ended. There is a movie about this skit show.
You don't know that she is "woke". In fact, you know nothing about her. G was wrong, he even released emails showing his inappropriate behavior. He admitted the culture has changed. I wish he hadn't done it too but don't blame the victim because you don't like that it happened. Men can't be pigs anymore... but I love his work. It happened with other women too, sadly.
I started listening to him and PHC back in 1981 in college. Finally saw him live in Brooklyn a couple times in the late 1980s. I used to record his monologs and listen to them while falling to sleep when I lived in NYC.
I listened a bit, expecting some Edna St. Vincent Millay. I treasure this poem: "The Spring And The Fall" by Edna St. Vincent Millay In the spring of the year, in the spring of the year, I walked the road beside my dear. The trees were black where the bark was wet. I see them yet, in the spring of the year. He broke me a bough of the blossoming peach That was out of the way and hard to reach. In the fall of the year, in the fall of the year, I walked the road beside my dear. The rooks went up with a raucous trill. I hear them still, in the fall of the year. He laughed at all I dared to praise, And broke my heart, in little ways. Year be springing or year be falling, The bark will drip and the birds be calling. There's much that's fine to see and hear In the spring of a year, in the fall of a year. 'Tis not love's going hurt my days. But that it went in little ways.
This exactly. I don't know how this ended up in front of me; lists of videos about airplanes and music, technology... And then from nowhere, this. Like a.I. making connections that are invisible to me. ..butnI don't remember it being gothic?
Used to listen to Prairie Home Companion on the rradio back in the 80's . Happy to remanice once more, my own small town memories as a kid and teen.Suggest you look for the movie with G.K. and Merril Streep.
Haven't heard of him since some kind of sex charges ended his popularity. After all that has happened these several years, I wonder if any of that stuff was true, or if true, important enough to end his career. So many ridiculous charges for so many reasons that have nothing to do with sex, just jealousy and anger and power. Life is a lesson learned too slowly for justice.
I was so looking forward to hearing Garrison Keillor's monologues. Today I settled into "The Fall of The Year" only to not be able to hear the star's voice. He was there, but with everything turned up on my side - including my ear phones - I was unable to make out his words. Anyone know a remedy for this low volume problem?
Ah. GK was perhaps one of the earliest victims of viciously judgemental wokeness. Are we better off that he was punished? I say "NO." The morally superior among us peasants have done as much ruin to so many. Just listen to the applause - the joy - of his creativity!! So sad that so few can ruin so much. I pray Mr.Keillor is well, and prospering in his twilight years.
@@mikhailfaisman5287 Garrison Keillor is still touring and still amazing, yes. Is he still denying his role and responsibility in an unacceptable workplace romance?
I expect he has thought long and hard about his errors, as hopefully we all do, but let’s not discount the joy and happiness that PHC and these stories brought to thousands of people each week. GK’s work was genius and his story telling abilities set a new standard in radio broadcasting. Perhaps it’s time to forgive and move on.
@@Tony-ep2ku With all his resources and talents, Garrison Keillor might, just might be able to say words or take actions that would help our society comprehend the issues around his workplace relationship fiasco. I've moved on. Sounds like you've moved on. I'm a wide-eyed, idealistic lover of the arts and a dyed in the wool fan of Garrison Keillor. All is forgiven, but I don't think all is done. Women, including those in Mr. Keillor's life, are still being sexually abused. He could counter some of that pain and law-breaking with his own very popular and eloquent words. Surely, before Garrison Keillor dies, he will apply the resources of his talents to the on-going issue. Fame is hard on the famous. It can be hell, and I think he has experienced some of that hell. Peace be with us all, Mr. Keillor and his devoted fans. We can ease the pain by extinguishing the misdeeds.
I so missed Garrison when they sacked him from A Prairie Home Companion. The replacement was not as wonderful. I have a book of his poems and really miss him and his soothing characters and voice on Saturday night . I will listen to this YT channel and I don't care about his work place issues!!
He is greatly missed. Side note: That twat who said he “touched her on the back, while she was wearing a backless dress” during the “metoo” movement should be ashamed, shunned and live in hiding forever.
Guilt or innocence or a payoff from a corrupt insurance company are equally irrelevant. What matters is the intellectual and moral cowardice of the NPR honchos who gave no fair trial or public 2 way discussion. If you've got something on some body, take em to court, get some money that's what matters in America, or put em in jail and let him create from jail, and the social workers say, "o look! He's rehabilitating himself!" But putting the WORK in prison is a crime against consciousness! But who needs consciousness what with the world coming to an end and everybody selling popcorn and cokes for the movie? Not me, thanks I just want a seat from a tall old oak tree way off in the distance. THAT'S the word from Casa Goofy International non-profit Urban Farm child care Where WE WISH YOU FLOWERS BECAUSE THE WORLD IS ABSURD Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN!😊
Isn't Garrison Keillor like a WASP Woody Allen? Like a straight Kevin Spacey? Like a liberal Bill O'Reilly? Like a fiction prone Charlie Rose? Do you see the destination I'm driving at? Look quick, at this speed you wont see much.
I still miss Garrisons PHC broadcast. A highlight of my weekend.
It won't help, but you're not alone miss him!
Had knee replacement surgery today, age 77. It was successful, the pain so far is mild, however I’ve been sitting up all night awake. Came across Garrisson and he cheered me up, I realize how much I miss listening to him weekly.
That's good news! Thanks for listening and get better soon!
I miss him on PHC as well. Good luck with your recovery!
Speedy recovery and many happy Lake Wobegon days ahead, glad to read your post😊
It was the end of an era when Garrison stopped doing Tales from Lake Wobegone. He was a master story teller and brought to life an era and a way of life that has gone by the wayside. Sad..... I grew up in Milwaukee, WI and can very much relate to these stories.
Hope you get totally immersed and keep recovering.
OMG .. Lake Wobegon !!!!! Some of the best radio Iv heard in my life. 100% pure entertainment ‼️‼️. We ❤️ you Garrison !!!!
Thanks for listening!
I used to set aside a block of time each Saturday to sit back, smoke my pipe and listen to Prairie Home Companion. It was the most peaceful time I had all week.
Good old times... 🙂 Thanks for listening and for sharing!
I used to listen on Sunday afternoons/going-into-evenings in the car. And I missed it when it was gone. Nice to have it back, right?
@@sealyoness Yes, it is great to have it back!
Used to listen every Saturday night on our rural public broadcasting station. Garrison Keillor was better than going on a date!
Well said - imagination often beats reality. Thanks for listening!
Actually, not better than going on a date.
But that is only because it was rebroadcast on Sunday afternoon!
You’re 100% correct.
@queenkristinaaa60: "Keillor was better than going on a date". I wonder why you would say that. Are you a "humpback"?
I also always made time to catch PHC on Saturday night, or the rebroadcast on Sunday. There was never a show like it, or will there ever be again. He is the unchallenged master of storytelling. I really miss the show and all the great guests.

Well and thoughtfully written. Thank you!
Well said! Exactly how I felt…
lol. He has a face for radio and got me-too’d.
This reminds me that I'm so fortunate to have gotten to experience small town America in the 1960s, when I was a youngster. When many of those places were prosperous and populated with memorable characters.
Good for you! Thanks for sharing and listening!
I used to drive trucks cross country and the prairie home companion on the radio kept my mood lighter than any load i hauled

Great to hear from lake wobegon again.
It sure is! Glad you enjoy it.
So many Saturday nights listening to his radio show. So glad this popped up tonight!
Glad you like it. Thanks for listening!
These monologues should be part of a good education in English literature. Great stories, so well told.
Yes, you're right. They would be. Thanks for listening!
PHC helped me get through five months of chemo - 17 years ago. I would lie in the afternoon sun on my yoga mat and find peace and humor in G Keillor’s voice.
Thanks for listening!
Wonderful Story Teller! God Bless You Garrison Keillor!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
God bless you, Garrison Keillor, with a better understanding of the gender politics of the work place.

I'm guessing I heard this when it played. One of the highlights of my week for years. I miss having something good to look forward to.
Glad you like it, glad it brought good memories. Thanks for listening!
Me too. Always looked forward to the show on the radio at 6pm on Saturday here in Michigan. The joke shows were a treat.
Yeegh this program made my day. I grew up in what was Farm Country .I didn't move to the City it moved in on me. The old folks had Paul Harvey on and the Garrison. In the Kitchen or the Barn. It's comfort listening like Mom's Apple pie or Thelma's Strawberry Rubarb. It's Warm and kept your mind off the bills and the weather.😁👍
Very well expressed! Thanks for sharing and listening!
My dear late father loved listening to Garrisons stories!
I always loved listening to Garrison.
Glad you enjoy it.
Bringing back lots of memories of enjoyable times listening to Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion.
Glad you enjoy it.

my brother who now in heaven and I used to listen to this on weekends.
Thank you for sharing and listening!
wonderful echo from the past - what a voice.
True! Thanks for listening!
So glad to see this tonight, driving home from work at 10 pm under the autumn trees that line my small town’s Main Street, all decorated for Halloween, too. 🥰🤗🙏🏼
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Cool!
Thank you, Garrison sure have missed your wonderful stories. ♥️🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you for listening!
So glad I happened to see this. I haven't listened for about 20yrs
Wonderful! Thank you for listening!
We went to PHC at the Starlight in KC. I was HOT sweat rolling down my back. It was the best show I ever saw. And I worked concerts for many years! Miss you Garrison
Thank you for sharing and for listening!
Found by accident - AWESOME - my home town Upper Michigan - Keweenaw County. Thank u! Made my evening at 88 years of age young! Missed since off NPR as a regular listener over the many years!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening!
Former Yooper here. I listened to Lake Wobegon as much as possible, and watched Red Green back in the day. Haven’t been back to the Keweenaw for a while; listening to this is reminding me to maybe make a trip (after the snow melts, say…June? lol)
Master story telling! I am from Minnesota and have always loved these brilliant monologues with all the surprising directions they take. I heard about the program from a following of people from Maine, who turned in every Saturday night to get their fix. The great thing is that there is a huge legacy of Lake Wobegon stories by Garrison Keillor available. It is sad how it all ended after so many years. The body of work is impressive and timeless.

Still love to hear Garison spin color and drama in a way that keeps us listening like the story has been told specially for each of us.
Thanks for sharing and for listening!
Have missed him, its great to hear that low musky voice!!❤
Thanks for listening!
Weekly listener for 35 years. Sure do miss this AND Paul Harvey with the "Rest of the story."
Thanks for sharing and for listening!
On Sundays in Australia about lunchtime the Prairie Home Companion played on the radio many years ago. It was a show I loved and looked forward to each week because I loved the stories that were told. What lovely times and memories this story bought back. 🇦🇺🦘
Alas! Good old days... Still, as they say "good memory remains."
Always loved the stories of Lake Woebegone!
Excellent! They deserve that! Thank you for listening!
America's (and Lake Wobegon's) best storyteller.
Very true! Thanks for listening!
tysm I miss hearing him on Sunday mornings
Thank you for listening!
Ahhhh...sublime. I've missed GK & PHC.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening!
These were the highlight of my Saturday evening.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for listening!
Brilliant then, now and always.
Well said! Thanks!
Thank You for bringing these back to listen - always put time aside to listen during the 80’s…what a treat 🎉❤🎉
You're very welcome! Thanks for listening!
Wonderland to be home again
Great words! Thanks for listening!
At 78, as we lose family and friends over time, finding this channel has been such a blessing in getting back to those warm feelings again. Montana ranch communities have Norwegian bachelor farmers too👩🌾 Thank you for the grief relief . Have subscribed with gratitude. Weekends have a ray of sunshine 🌄 again no matter the weather. Thank you..
Thank you for your kind words! Glad it gives you some solace!
We were huge fans of this radio show in the 80s❤ in Montana. Listened on KUFM outta Missoula

Such a relaxing time. Thank you.

This is great! Miss this show and hope you post many more of these! I'll be listening.
Me too!
Thanks, loved PHC. Had the pleasure of sitting in 2nd row seat at live performance in Peoria Illinois. Wonderful experience ❣️👌
Thanks for listening! Yes, there will be many more monologues and skits to come!

So badly miss a good radio show
Well, I can only say: "You are in a very large company of good people!" Thanks for listening!
Garrison you are missed. No one tells a story like you.
I loved hearing GK on Public Radio.
Thank you for listening!
I love to listen to your stories.A great gift to be able to tell great stories.
Thanks for listening.
Miss him and click & clack the tappit bros 👍
Thanks for listening!
Discovered GK in 1978 while living in a small Illinois town. Living way out on the prairie my wife and I loved the way he lampooned our own town.
Thank you for sharing and for listening!
Keillor’s voice narrated my young adulthood, taught me the small-town values I craved, and to understand Christianity in a simple practical way. (Was raised by anti-religious parents)I still miss the show most Saturdays
Well said! Thanks for listening!
I miss this radio show. When I went to a state park with my Beatrice who was a border collie and needed lots of exercise I’d listen to it on the radio since 2002-2003 until it ended. There is a movie about this skit show.
Thank you for sharing and listening!
All bs aside . I have always loved this man and his stories!!!
Thank you for listening!
You have out done yourself with this one! It is just gorgeous!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening!
I so miss PHC for years my wife and I would listen faithfully to GK so there is something missing in my Saturday evening.
Thanks for sharing your story! And thanks for listening!
Loved listening years ago, thank you for posting this content!❤
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
just subbed . brings back memories .
Memories... Thank you for listening!
It was absolutely criminal what NPR did to a great man based upon the word of a petty woke person. A true shame what small nasty people will do.
So true! Thanks for listening!
He is no Harvey Weinstein but he's also not an innocent man unfortunately.
I'm unaware of what happened..I wasn't a faithful listener..but loved when I did..Where did he go and why ??
Npr is petty and woke. I used to listen; can't bear it now.
You don't know that she is "woke". In fact, you know nothing about her. G was wrong, he even released emails showing his inappropriate behavior. He admitted the culture has changed. I wish he hadn't done it too but don't blame the victim because you don't like that it happened. Men can't be pigs anymore... but I love his work.
It happened with other women too, sadly.
I love this man, truly I do. I still keep up with "The Writer's Almanac" but I miss listening to his tales of Lake Wobegon.
marcus
GK has been doing that "too" long - we've gotten used to it.🙂 Thanks for listening!
Garrison is doing a show in Wabash, IN on November 29 at the Honeywell Center.
Thank you for the info! And thank you for listening!
I started listening to him and PHC back in 1981 in college. Finally saw him live in Brooklyn a couple times in the late 1980s. I used to record his monologs and listen to them while falling to sleep when I lived in NYC.
Thanks! Glad this showed up on my YT feed! I've been missing PHC!
You're welcome! Glad to have you as our listener!
Keep these coming ❤😂
Will do. Thank you for listening!
Love this.. Thanks 😊
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
I used to love PHC. IT’s a shame poor Garrison got done like he did.
I listened a bit, expecting some Edna St. Vincent Millay. I treasure this poem:
"The Spring And The Fall" by Edna St. Vincent Millay
In the spring of the year, in the spring of the year,
I walked the road beside my dear.
The trees were black where the bark was wet.
I see them yet, in the spring of the year.
He broke me a bough of the blossoming peach
That was out of the way and hard to reach.
In the fall of the year, in the fall of the year,
I walked the road beside my dear.
The rooks went up with a raucous trill.
I hear them still, in the fall of the year.
He laughed at all I dared to praise,
And broke my heart, in little ways.
Year be springing or year be falling,
The bark will drip and the birds be calling.
There's much that's fine to see and hear
In the spring of a year, in the fall of a year.
'Tis not love's going hurt my days.
But that it went in little ways.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem and thank you for listening!
So good thankyou npr jerks
In my 20 I tried to explain grrison keillor to my friends as "he is the Lawrence Welk of our time"
Well said. Thanks for listening!
Listening to GK was the only thing that made the miserable trip home from the beach or lake back to busy workweeks bearable.
Thanks for listening!
This exactly. I don't know how this ended up in front of me; lists of videos about airplanes and music, technology... And then from nowhere, this. Like a.I. making connections that are invisible to me.
..butnI don't remember it being gothic?
Please come back, Garrison!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍👍
Funny and enjoyable
Thanks for listening!
Used to listen to Prairie Home Companion on the rradio back in the 80's . Happy to remanice once more, my own small town memories as a kid and teen.Suggest you look for the movie with G.K. and Merril Streep.
I saw a few clips, but you're right - I need to see the movie. Thanks for listening!
thanx
You're welcome.
He was railroaded
Well, as one of the commenters recently wrote: "He's touring and still amazing." Thanks for listening!
He sure was. I thought his reply to the whole thing was brilliant...
@@fretfix1 I have never seen his response . I’ll have to look it up .
Just su subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Haven't heard of him since some kind of sex charges ended his popularity. After all that has happened these several years, I wonder if any of that stuff was true, or if true, important enough to end his career.
So many ridiculous charges for so many reasons that have nothing to do with sex, just jealousy and anger and power.
Life is a lesson learned too slowly for justice.
The story about the dog that slid down the banquet table at a wedding reception and stole a smoked salmon is a side splitter.
I was so looking forward to hearing Garrison Keillor's monologues. Today I settled into "The Fall of The Year" only to not be able to hear the star's voice. He was there, but with everything turned up on my side - including my ear phones - I was unable to make out his words. Anyone know a remedy for this low volume problem?
Tremendous show. Sad NPR shot themselves in the foot and killed it . Very popular here in the south.
Thanks for listening!
Good ol' Gary- making fun of the local yokels from the safety of his gated community.
The prairie is gone
That's sad. Thanks for listening!
Ah. GK was perhaps one of the earliest victims of viciously judgemental wokeness. Are we better off that he was punished? I say "NO." The morally superior among us peasants have done as much ruin to so many. Just listen to the applause - the joy - of his creativity!! So sad that so few can ruin so much. I pray Mr.Keillor is well, and prospering in his twilight years.
Thank you for your intelligent and thoughtful comment! As one of my commenters recently wrote: "He's [GK] touring and still amazing."
@@mikhailfaisman5287 Garrison Keillor is still touring and still amazing, yes. Is he still denying his role and responsibility in an unacceptable workplace romance?
I expect he has thought long and hard about his errors, as hopefully we all do, but let’s not discount the joy and happiness that PHC and these stories brought to thousands of people each week. GK’s work was genius and his story telling abilities set a new standard in radio broadcasting. Perhaps it’s time to forgive and move on.
@@Tony-ep2ku With all his resources and talents, Garrison Keillor might, just might be able to say words or take actions that would help our society comprehend the issues around his workplace relationship fiasco. I've moved on. Sounds like you've moved on. I'm a wide-eyed, idealistic lover of the arts and a dyed in the wool fan of Garrison Keillor. All is forgiven, but I don't think all is done. Women, including those in Mr. Keillor's life, are still being sexually abused. He could counter some of that pain and law-breaking with his own very popular and eloquent words. Surely, before Garrison Keillor dies, he will apply the resources of his talents to the on-going issue. Fame is hard on the famous. It can be hell, and I think he has experienced some of that hell. Peace be with us all, Mr. Keillor and his devoted fans. We can ease the pain by extinguishing the misdeeds.
I so missed Garrison when they sacked him from A Prairie Home Companion. The replacement was not as wonderful. I have a book of his poems and really miss him and his soothing characters and voice on Saturday night . I will listen to this YT channel and I don't care about his work place issues!!
It was sad that the show didn't go on after Gerison had to leave the show. They tried but the numbers just weren't there.
I think it's because Garrison himself was/is the show! He is irreplaceable! Thanks for listening!
I dropped NPR when they trashed this man. Absolutely inexcusable of them.
Thanks for listening!
Not much worth listening to on public radio anymore
Loved his stories years ago. Too bad he is a liberal, Marxist, Progressive.
He is greatly missed.
Side note:
That twat who said he “touched her on the back, while she was wearing a backless dress” during the “metoo” movement should be ashamed, shunned and live in hiding forever.
Thank you for sharing and for listening!
I believe so, too!
Guilt or innocence or a payoff from a corrupt insurance company are equally irrelevant. What matters is the intellectual and moral cowardice of the NPR honchos who gave no fair trial or public 2 way discussion. If you've got something on some body, take em to court, get some money that's what matters in America, or put em in jail and let him create from jail, and the social workers say, "o look! He's rehabilitating himself!" But putting the WORK in prison is a crime against consciousness! But who needs consciousness what with the world coming to an end and everybody selling popcorn and cokes for the movie? Not me, thanks I just want a seat from a tall old oak tree way off in the distance.

Isn't Garrison Keillor like a WASP Woody Allen? Like a straight Kevin Spacey? Like a liberal Bill O'Reilly? Like a fiction prone Charlie Rose?
Do you see the destination I'm driving at? Look quick, at this speed you wont see much.
The answer to all of the questions you posit above...to each one is, no.
An American treasure
Very true! Thanks for listening!
