Garrison Keillor is a Cranky Old Man Shouting “Get Off MY Lawn”

In the early part of the decade of the 70’s I discovered Garrison Keillor. Prairie Home companion wasn’t even a radio show yet. It was a Morning Event on Minnesota Public Radio. This was even prior to Bill Kling if I remember right.

Garrison was funny, clever and refreshing. He was also young. I met him. Went to a few of his shows. When he came to Fargo to do his gig I attended.
