My aunt introduced me to Garrison Keilor in 1983. I used to listen to him on the radio and cassette tapes. Fast forward I'm now 46 and still listen to ALL of his stories.
Thank you for posting this. As you watch you can see what a vast imagination Mr. Keillor has to create his stories. I am a fan since about 1988. I never saw these interviews. Thank you!! ♥
What a beautiful mind - I am amazed at his memory - his memory of everything! His memory on display here in the recitation of the counties of Minnesota!
If you know the writings of Richard Brautigan, Read Keillor's "Ten Stories for Mr. Richard Brautigan" in Happy to Be Here. I haven't read the book in 30+ years but just thinking of that particular one still makes me laugh.
Man, 30 years ago I had to produce / panel / drive the console of a radio show which ran for 3 hours, was nothing but back 2 back GK albums, oh boy oh boy, as a then 17 year old, I wanted nothing more than to t0p mys3lf when the show finished. All because the presenter had no idea how to run the studio equipment by himself, man, that was an EXTREMELY painful day.

I thank my Dad for introducing me to his Lake Wobegon cassette tapes as a kid in the 80s.
He couldn't keep up that pace much longer.

What a delightful character this man is.
Rainn Wilson as Garrison Keillor.
Perfect
A fellow Minnesotan! I wonder how many MN counties Rainn can name. 🤔
Brilliant writer.
How young we all were back then.....
Enchanting
Never an off note with Garrison.
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
Not really. He IS good on the show in 1985 though.
Great interview
The local county version of the elements song!
Great!

The early-1980’s was still like the 1970’s in some ways. GK almost always seemed tastefully weird outside of PHC.
He looks like Jack Black suddenly grew several feet taller.
"Also, it looked burnt." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
miss the radio show :(
Where all the children are above average.
@@119beaker The women are strong 💪
The men are good looking..
Wow. Now that's a true Savant.
3:18 - ahh man, wholesome
I listened multiple times and he left out the county I lived in… 😂
I didn't hear Olmstead.

Missed out three counties I reckon...
Faribault
Olmsted
Steele
