I hear ya...being raised Lutheran myself! His early tapes are sometimes so funny that I have peed in my pants....but he hasn't been funny for at least 10 years now, so I gave up on him! It is nice to have dry pants now!
I always wonder how a small town midwestern Lutheran boy could grow up to be a communist! Must be all that ther higher education!
I always wonder how a small town midwestern Lutheran boy could grow up to be a communist! I am fairly certain that Keillor himself has never been a Lutheran. I think he was raised in some small fundamentalist-type church. But he was raised in Minnesota, and knows the culture there, which is heavily Lutheran, of course.
I'm a Lutheran--a Lutheran minister, in fact--and I've lived in Minnesota. I enjoy Garrison's show, but I don't like his politics.
