Reply #29: Garrison Keillor is a very complex persona. If you've enjoyed

[ShortnFiery]

his "Prairie Home Companion" hosting and/or his iPod "Writer's Almanac" five minute spots, his DEPTH of communication comes through.

I honestly don't believe that he meant any malice by his observations. He's a storyteller where being picturesque in verse is prised more than the actual commentary.

I've listen and enjoyed his shows for years and have not ever received any inclination of Keillor embracing any element of bigotry ... much of the times tolerance and respect for others is what shines through.

Perhaps he was trying to be witty and was not careful in how some strict interpretations may derrive from a multilevel perspective type narrative. :shrug:

We all have our less than stellar moments, but IMO, he's a far cry from a hypocrite.

Yes, I admire him. :-)
