Keillor doesn't get it.

I had listened to this man on the radio for a while. It seemed to me that I was a lone person in thinking that his humour is really a put down of ordinary folks. In particular his jokes about the Lutherans, though one could see this as a bit of harmless ribbing. Never felt comfortable with this "humorist".

I noted you had not posted for about seven weeks Butterdezillion. I was going to freemail you, but now I see you are up and running so to speak. Nice to get your take.

Keillor always thought of his work as a devastating lampoon of middle-class life, and has always been self-loathing because people mistook it for some kind of nostalgia. He’s always been mentally troubled. Lucky he didn’t go postal or jihadi years ago.
