In the early part of the decade of the 70's I discovered Garrison Keillor. Prairie Home companion wasn't even a radio show yet. It was a Morning Event on Minnesota Public Radio. This was even prior to Bill Kling if I remember right.
Garrison was funny, clever and refreshing. He was also young. I met him. Went to a few of his shows. When he came to Fargo to do his gig I attended.
Over the years I have changed and sadly so has he. I no longer listen as rapt as I once did. He is no longer funny, clever or insightful. Just cranky.
He was not inoculated fore BushDerangementSyndrome and suffers from a terminal case of it.
So, his latest pronouncements on all things electoral have become as irrelevant as that old man shouting "Get off my Lawn".
Sad to see good men die young. Alas Poor Garrison, I hardly Knew ye............
