Minnesota State Fair Grandstand review: Garrison Keillor a cong...

garrison is a massive tool. he is an angry liberal. He is pathetic. he should just take his scowling face and go back to denmark

The average Minnesotan has nothing in common with this "elite" partisan hack. Can someone tell him to retire or move back to Denmark.

That sounds like it was an awesome show! I wish I had gone.

Woulda been 8,002 if I had been on top of things.

It was a beautiful show on a beautiful evening; a family tradition for us and our young daughters for four years running.

(To be fair, Rob, the first time we heard "Unchained Melody" was the warm-up before the taping started, and the 2nd was during the intermission, which also won't be on the broadcast. So I consider them warmups for the version that will go out on the air tonight.)

I missed the last line of the story, thanks for the heads up. 5:00 PM tonight I'll be listening?
Thanks John, you have me at a disadvantage, I'll be scratching my head now.

I just finished listening to the replay and have to say that Garrison Keillor is brilliant, and entertains like no other. The Unchained Melody link at the end was a hoot, and the A&A Waltz was beyond compare. Next year I will be in the audience for sure!

If he ever told a "clever story" or made a "funny retort," it might be worth overlooking his simplistic liberalism. However, he is a bore, so, Garrison, please go away. Thanks for the memories!

It was a great show. I was there with my family and we all enjoyed it greatly. He did very little political humor this time (just a bit, nicely underplayed), and kept on the State Fair theme throughout the performance. Aside from not doing the "lives of the cowboys", it was everything I had hoped to see. The critic nailed the review.
