Ron Olesko Garrison Keillor the bad singer who .. (227* d) RE: Garrison Keillor the bad singer who .. 11 Feb 03


Lucy - the "Fargo" that was mentioned was the movie which took it's name from Fargo, North Dakota.

We all welcome a difference of opinion, but this "guest" or "troll" who started it originally did not back his or her opinion without any reason. If you re-read those posts, and re-read them honestly, it does appear that this person was not trying to start a legitimate conversation, but rather trying to rip Garrison a new one.

Garrision Keillor is no saint, but he isn't Michael Jackson either. Whatever happened in his original marriage and what led to his decision to cancel and ultimately return to PHC is of no interest to me. Leave that to the tabloids. What IS important is the quality of the show, which I will agree is not up to the same level as earlier years.   However it is a unique show.   Keillor is the first to admit that he "copied" the Grand Ole Opry format.   The FACT is that he created a show which does have a couple of imitators itself, but none with the reach of PHC.

So for all his faults, he is still an interesting artist that many of us enjoy. We aren't making him a saint, just a good entertainer and writer.

Ron
