	The mysterious appeal of Garrison Keillor. - By Sam Anderson - Slate Magazine
		Keillor's flagship franchise is still A Prairie Home Companion, a weekly two-hour radio variety show that debuted in 1974 to a live audience of 12 people and now draws more than 4 million listeners a week across 600 stations.
		Keillor the writer often stands in sharp contrast to Keillor the radio persona.
		The critique was so spirited because Keillor's approach to America is the exact opposite of Henri-Lévy's: whereas the Frenchman (according to Keillor) is "short on the facts, long on conclusions" and possessed by a "childlike love of paradox," Keillor is always deliberately long on facts, short on conclusions.

	Fuck Garrison Keillor \| Slog \| The Stranger \| Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Keillor is a good writer, and when he is doing satire it is unmistakable if one reads all the way to the end of the piece.
		Keillor is telling Grandma, very gently, that's it's OK, I know Uncle Albert wears those chartreuse trousers that upset you, and you're afraid because some of The Gays don't even go to Sunday Service, but they're not going to burst into your living room and make you look at their cock rings.
		Keillor's work over the years and perceive him to be a person who tries to treat others as he would like to be treated (OK, his checkered romantic history is a bit hard to explain), I'm not quite ready to label him a homophobe.

	Dana Gioia Online - Garrison Keillor
		Keillor is a deft and original entertainer with a genuine literary gift, especially for a brand of satire so decorous and gentle that it blurs into nostalgic romance, but he is not a writer given to the lyric extremes of powerful emotion so often essential to poetry.
		Keillor interweaves two themes—his own changing taste in contemporary poetry since leaving the university decades ago and his informed speculations on how non-literary people approach poetry, especially poetry they hear on the radio.
		Keillor’s tone is obviously designed to rile anyone who holds the conventionally high critical opinion of Moore and Plath (and the conventionally low one of Millay).

	Lecture: Garrison Keillor \| Bullpen (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Keillor strongly encouraged students to maintain their independence from major organizations and corporations as they begin looking for jobs in journalism.
		Keillor, who lives in St. Paul, Minn., said his local newspaper doesn’t inform readers as it should, and similarly, he suggested that papers across the country are also failing to do their job.
		Keillor also criticized the deregulation of radio, which allows firms to own an unlimited number of stations nationwide and inhibits people from receiving important information quickly enough.

		Since Keillor is not only, by all appearances, a mensch but also the possessor of an extremely amiable voice in his writing (and who can say, with him, where his prose voice ends and the aural one begins?), you tend to forget the darker elements of his work.
		Keillor's humorous collection of stories about manhood in the '90s was a seven-week PW bestseller.
		Keillor proves you don't have to be a guy to enjoy these "guy" stories.

	Garrison Keillor Biography at Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Keillor was born in Anoka, MN into the Plymouth Brethren, an evangelical Christian sect that practiced a strict code of theological morality that excluded any and all forms of entertainment.
		Meanwhile, Keillor harbored ambitions to both write and perform on radio, so after finally leaving the University of Minnesota after eight years – he was on the verge of leaving whether he wanted to or not – he became a disc jockey for a classical music station.
		Also motivating Keillor was his second wife, Ulla Skaerved, an exchange student from Denmark whom he met in the early 1960s and reconnected with at a reunion years later.

	Minnesota, according to Garrison Keillor - Nightly News with Brian Williams - MSNBC.com
		Keillor: For one thing it says that we have same-day registration in Minnesota, so people who are inspired at the last minute — the morning of the Tuesday — can find their way down to that school or church where the flag is flying outside, go in, present their driver's license and vote.
		Keillor says, as the inauguration approaches, this is the time to sit back and watch the process unfold.
		Keillor: I believe in having a moment in the country when we put aside some of the harsh jagged things that we've said — always willing to pick them up again of course — but we put them aside and we watch, we hope and we wait.

	In defense of Bernard-Henri Lévy. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate Magazine
		Now comes Garrison Keillor's front-page notice, in the Jan. 29 edition of the Sunday book review of the New York Times of Bernard-Henri Lévy's American Vertigo.
		Keillor, who was awarded a good deal of space as well as prominence for his blunt hatchet job, chooses not to make even a single mention of this element in the book.
		Yellow-dog Democrats like Keillor spend a lot of time whining about how America's standing in the world has declined of late, but this is how he treats a guest who spends half his time combating anti-Americanism in France.

	Garrison Keillor's Apology \| Slog \| The Stranger \| Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Keillor apologized only because the column was “misunderstood,” says that it was meant to be satirical, and that the kind of folks that move in his “small world”—folks that actually know gay people, artistic types and such like—were sure to get it.
		Keillor is not a fan of his, is not familiar with his humor style (whatever you think of it), and has taken words and phrases out of contxt and twisted them into something they are not.
		Keillor missed the mark and failed to tailor his piece to his audience, and as a result it came off wrong.

		Garrison Keillor's show was one of the prime reasons for my switch to DAB, it's a terrific way to gently enter the world on a Sunday morning (BBC7, for those who have missed it so far!).
		Garrison is a born story teller and has a voice I could listen to till the cows came home and he may surprise you what he's prepared to take the micky out of without hurting anyones feelings.
		Garrison Keillor is hardly known to the US public - that is why he has been trying to "make it" in the UK - and as "nice and folksy" as his prog.

	The American Spectator
		Published 6/16/2006 12:07:41 AM I discovered Garrison Keillor long before I knew he was "Garrison Keillor" -- that is, the host of the National Public Radio's all-too-long-running (30 years) radio variety show, "A Prairie Home Companion." In the 1970s, I used to subscribe to the New Yorker.
		Confine Keillor to his short stories alone, as I discovered in that search, and he would still be a literary figure of some stature on the American scene.
		Keillor's put-on accent only faintly resembled the Minnesota speech I knew, but of course I also knew Keillor was spoofing, with his self-conscious bumbling, cracked pronunciations, and deliberately unhip joshing.

	[No title]
		Keillor graduated with a journalism degree from the University of Minnesota in 1966.
		Keillor writes: "You see welfare parents with their children and sometimes you want to grab the parents and shake them, they are so clueless and foul-mouthed and cruel, but you can't, so you hope that the social workers in Child Protection have enough funding to keep up with their caseload.
		Keillor served up this rhetoric on the eve of the 2004 election in which the left was consumed by bitter hatred and the need to demonize anyone who questions the assumptions of their narrow ideology.

	Profile: Garrison Keillor \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Keillor explains: "I am culturally quite conservative and being a writer is the purest form of entrepreneurship there is. And I am a Christian and had a fundamentalist upbringing and Republicans assume all fundamentalists are on their side.
		From 1960 to 1968 Keillor was attached to the university.
		Throughout the 60s Keillor's primary ambition was to write, but it was radio that first provided him with an income, although he saw the work as "a fallback, something anybody could do and get paid for".

	Garrison Keillor at the Lodestone Catalog
		Garrison Keillor, of Public Radio's Prarie Home Companion, has carved his own niche in Radio history with his gentle monologues about Lake Woebegone -- the idealized American community where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.
		Garrison Keillor's collection of "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues--all taken from live broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion--is an extended meditation on the joys, sorrows, challenges, and humor of raising children.
		This is Garrison Keillor's gentle parody of old-time radio detective series, complete with all the standard conventions, but with a modern twist thrown in here and there for good measure.

		But Garrison Keillor could do with a little Albert Ayler in his church, and church is what Keillor is all about.
		The typical Keillor selection tends to be anecdotal, wistful: more often than not a middle-aged creative writing instructor catching a whiff of mortality in the countryside — watching the geese head south, getting lost in the woods, this sort of thing.
		Keillor is not the first to offer the masses reassurance and diversion through poetry on the radio.

	The Bilerico Project \| Defending Garrison Keillor
		Keillor attempts to explain this apparent psychic dissonance by pointing out that such shows profit on one stereotypical view of gay men, and that such a view, which is consumed like pornography by many heterosexuals, ultimately has denied and continues to deny us our rights.
		Keillor is not as good a writer as you are a reader of his writing.
		Garrison writes for people with mid-triple-digit IQs and there are a huuuuuge number of "with it" people of all sorts of races, genders and sexual orientations who aren't appreciably smarter than the halfwits over on the right.

		Garrison Keillor is the host of the radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, which was broadcasted (at the time of this interview) by American Public Radio to about 200 stations around the country.
		Keillor describes life in the Midwest as a good book state, but where the people have a bad habit of smugness and self-satisfaction.
		Keillor actually seems completely oblivious to the significance of it and of other technological advances such as television and a photo copier.

	Garrison Keillor: A Bigot's Home Companion -- Towleroad for modern gay men,
		Mar 14, 2007 9:24:14 AM I can be pretty thin-skinned sometimes but Garrison's column doesn't bother me. If you've listened to or read his work then you know he has a rather ironic sense of humor- one that recalls the past with a slightly distorted reminiscence.
		Mar 14, 2007 1:17:01 PM I'm reminded of a story a colleague who taught with Keillor told me recently: At a course on comedy writing he recently taught to undergraduates at the University of Minnesota, Keillor gently chastised a student who wrote a sketch that poked fun at a minority group.
		Garrison Keillor has brought more happiness to my life than the HRC ever has.
