Not surprising, and not surprising that it was low key. A simple statement that "I am with her" after he made a mention of her upcoming Administration.

Hope his health improves. He's really aged recently, as you can see here:

I'm concerned about his health. He didn't look very chipper in that CBS interview.

WNYC, my NPR affiliate cut off the show exactly at 7:00 EST.

I immediately went online to the PHC link and found 20 more minutes of Garrison Keillor singing 4-5 more songs, for which I was extremely grateful. His last song was "Amen" from "Lillies of the Field".

just listening to this show. It's funny, musical and the humor is kind and never hurtful.

Can't remember exact words, but he said he wasn't a Democrat.....after a pause he said "I am a liberal, bleeding heart, tree-hugging, tax and spend Democrat."
