The Open Sewer Flowing Through America

Peregrinator has made a remark about the General Board, in the distant past.

Did he name it a cesspool? It seems, that this year, the whole nation has deteriorated.

Oh! Look! Pennywise the Dancing Clown is doing the backstroke, and smiling at everyone.

Who is getting pushed in ? Pulled in ? Diving in ?

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) is terminating its contracts with Garrison Keillor


MPR will end its business relationships with Mr. Keillor's media companies effective immediately. By terminating the contracts, MPR and American Public Media (APM) will:

The station also will change the name of “A Prairie Home Companion” with current host Chris Thile and cut ties with the prairiehome dot org website and Pretty Good Goods online catalog.


Garrison Keillor, 75, released several statements to the media Wednesday, and wrote on his personal website “I’ve been fired over a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard. Most stories are."

I’ve been fired over a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard,” it said in part. “Most stories are. It’s some sort of poetic irony to be knocked off the air by a story, having told so many of them myself, but I’m 75 and don’t have any interest in arguing about this. And I cannot in conscience bring danger to a great organization I’ve worked hard for since 1969.

“I am sorry for all the poets whose work I won’t be reading on the radio and sorry for the people who will lose work on account of this. But my profound feeling is that of gratitude, especially to my wife Jenny, and for this painful experience that has brought us even closer together.”

He and Jenny Lind Nilsson, a violist for the Minnesota Opera, have been married since 1995. It is Keillor’s third marriage.

Society, specifically the entertainment sector has had a lid on the sewer but now that lid has been ripped off. The smell began to leak out thru the recording industry via songs but nobody paid any attention.

creepy ?

So different, from anything
that New England offered

Once upon a time
The Ol' Opry
was nationwide


Thanks to Lou and Peter Berryman
a part of the Mid-West
is permanently etched
in my heart
