Other hypocritical Leftist libtards. Sanctioned "comedy" for the Bolsheviks. There are quite a few...
I grew up in small towns in both Peninsulas of Michigan, and his Lake Wobegon characters are carbon copies of people I knew. His original show was supposed to be a combination of the Grand Ole Oprey and the daily stock reports (that's pigs and cows, not ticker tape), with live local entertainment thrown in. It was a great amalgamation of Americana.
I discovered Cajun music with Beausoleil, and split my sides laughing at Bluegrass Broadway by Marvin and Mavis Smiley. His original stories from Lake Wobegon would take me back to my childhood where there was no confusion as to who were the men and who where the women. I still listen with my children today, but we prefer my old cassette tapes to the live show, and we all join in when it comes time to sing “Has your mama tried them, Powder Milk . . . .”
The current live show is nothing like it was 30 years ago. In the old show, the Lake Wobegon stories were more like episodes of the Lucy show in Mayberry, not today’s stories which more resemble Seinfeld. It is unfortunate that Garrison has allowed his personal politics into the show, because it was just fine, and I would say better, without it.
As a caveat, I would say that anyone born after 1960 would probably not get the humor or understand what Lake Wobegon is all about, unless your father is an old fart like me and likes to tell stories of the “good ol days”.
