First time I saw him he looked like a very angry man.





I was SURPIRSED the first time I saw him. I was in St Paul when i first heard him, undergoing some very nasty surgey that took months. One of the nurses in the hospital told me I should listen, so I gave it a whirl.

I used to listen to "News From Lake Wobegon" and imagine myself out of the hospital, in this idyllic little town.

I imagined Keillor as bing tall and thin, sort of like a young Jimmy Stewert. In my mind's eye, he sat at a desk on the stage and talked into one of those old-style microphons. He always wore a striped shirt and suspeneders, and I found him VERY comforting to listen to.

It was a REAL shock to see this short, pudgy little guy.

And you are right. He DOES look angry.

It shows more if you have ever read his books.

You must not have seen Keillor. He is well over 6 feet.

He is actually very tall (6'6"?) He just has a short face.
