Garrison Keillor started his radio career in November 1969 with Minnesota Educational Radio (MER), now Minnesota Public Radio (MPR), and distributing programs under the American Public Media (APM) brand. Minnesota Public Radio ( MPR) a 501(c(3 non-profit organization is one of the premier Public radio stations producing programming for radio Internet American Public Media is the second largest producer of public radio programs after National Public Radio. He hosted The Morning Program in the weekday drive time-slot, 6 am to 9 am, which the station called "A Prairie Home Entertainment. " During this time he also began submitting fiction to The New Yorker, where his first story, "Local Family Keeps Son Happy," appeared September 19, 1970. The New Yorker is an American Magazine that publishes reportage commentary criticism essays fiction satire cartoons and poetry Events 335 - Dalmatius is raised to the rank of Caesar by his uncle Constantine I. Year 1970 ( MCMLXX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link shows full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. [9]

Keillor resigned from The Morning Program in February 1971 to protest what he considered an attempt to interfere with his musical programming. The show became A Prairie Home Companion when he returned in October. [10]

Keillor has attributed the idea for the live Saturday night radio program to his 1973 assignment to write about the Grand Ole Opry, while flying an autogyro for The New Yorker, but he had already begun showcasing local musicians on the morning show, despite limited studio space for them, and in August 1973 The Minneapolis Tribune reported MER's plans for a Saturday night version of A Prairie Home Companion with live musicians. Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar. The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly Country music radio program and concert broadcast live on WSM radio in Nashville, Tennessee The New Yorker is an American Magazine that publishes reportage commentary criticism essays fiction satire cartoons and poetry A Prairie Home Companion is a live Radio Variety show created and hosted by Garrison Keillor. [10][11]

A Prairie Home Companion debuted as an old-style variety show before a live audience on July 6, 1974, featuring guest musicians and a cadre cast doing musical numbers and comic skits replete with elaborate live sound effects. A Prairie Home Companion is a live Radio Variety show created and hosted by Garrison Keillor. Events 1044 - The Battle of Ménfő takes place 1189 - Richard the Lionheart is crowned King of England Year 1974 ( MCMLXXIV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the 1974 Gregorian calendar. The show was punctuated by spoof commercial spots from such fictitious sponsors as Jack's Auto Repair and Powdermilk Biscuits, "the biscuits that give shy persons the strength to get up and do what needs to be done. "[10] Later imaginary sponsors have included Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery ("If you can't find it at Ralph's, you can probably get along without it"), Bertha's Kitty Boutique, the Catchup Advisory Board[12] (which touted "the natural mellowing agents of ketchup"), the American Duct Tape Council, and Bebop-A-Reebop Rhubarb Pie ("sweetening the sour taste of failure through the generations"). The show also contains parodic serial melodramas, such as The Adventures of Guy Noir, Private Eye and The Lives of the Cowboys. Guy Noir is a fictional private detective regularly featured on the Public radio show A Prairie Home Companion. After the show's intermission, Keillor reads clever and often humorous greetings to friends and family at home submitted by members of the theater audience, in exchange for an honorarium. Also in the second half of the show, the broadcasts showcase a weekly monologue by Keillor entitled News from Lake Wobegon, based in part on Keillor's own hometown of Anoka, Minnesota. Anoka is a city in Anoka County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 18076 at the 2000 census Lake Wobegon is a quintessential but fictional Midwestern small town "where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average. Lake Wobegon is a fictional town in the US state of Minnesota, said to have been the boyhood home of Garrison Keillor. " A Prairie Home Companion ran until 1987, when Keillor decided to end it; he worked on other projects, including another live radio program, "The American Radio Company of the Air"--which was virtually identical in format to "A Prairie Home Companion"--for several years. In 1993 he began producing A Prairie Home Companion again, with nearly identically-formatted programs, and has done so since. A Prairie Home Companion is a live Radio Variety show created and hosted by Garrison Keillor. [13] On A Prairie Home Companion, Keillor receives no billing or credit (except "written by Sarah Bellum", a joking reference to his own brain); his name is not mentioned unless a guest addresses him by his first name or the initials "G. A Prairie Home Companion is a live Radio Variety show created and hosted by Garrison Keillor. The cerebellum ( Latin: "little brain" is a region of the Brain that plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception The brain is the center of the Nervous system in animals All Vertebrates and the majority of Invertebrates have a brain K. " However, some sketches do feature Keillor as his alter ego, Carson Wyler, which is a play on his name.

Keillor is also the host of The Writer's Almanac which, like A Prairie Home Companion, is produced and distributed by American Public Media. The Writer's Almanac is a daily radio and on-line program and podcast of poetry and historical interest pieces usually of literary significance American Public Media is the second largest producer of public radio programs after National Public Radio. The Writer's Almanac is also available online[14] and via daily e-mail installments by subscription. [15]

Writing

Keillor has written many magazine and newspaper articles, and nearly a dozen books for adults as well as children. In addition to his time as a writer for The New Yorker, he has written for The Atlantic Monthly and Salon.com. The New Yorker is an American Magazine that publishes reportage commentary criticism essays fiction satire cartoons and poetry The Atlantic (formerly known as The Atlantic Monthly) is an American Magazine founded in Boston in 1857 Saloncom, part of Salon Media Group ( often just called Salon, is an online

He also authored an advice column on Salon.com titled "Mr. An advice column is a column at a Magazine or Newspaper written by an advice columnist (colloquially known as an agony aunt, or agony uncle if Saloncom, part of Salon Media Group ( often just called Salon, is an online Blue". Following a heart operation, he resigned on September 4, 2001 in an article entitled "Every dog has his day":[16]

Illness offers the chance to think long thoughts about the future (praying that we yet have one, dear God), and so I have, and so this is the last column of Mr. Events 476 - Romulus Augustus, last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, is deposed when Odoacer proclaims himself Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. Blue, under my authorship, for Salon. Over the years, Mr. Blue's strongest advice has come down on the side of freedom in our personal lives, freedom from crushing obligation and overwork and family expectations and the freedom to walk our own walk and be who we are. And some of the best letters have been addressed to younger readers trapped in jobs like steel suits, advising them to bust loose and go off and have an adventure. Some of the advisees have written back to inform Mr. Blue that the advice was taken and that the adventure changed their lives. This was gratifying. So now I am simply taking my own advice. Cut back on obligations: Promote a certain elegant looseness in life. Simple as that. Winter and spring, I almost capsized from work, and in the summer I had a week in St. Mary's Hospital to sit and think, and that's the result. Saint Marys Hospital is one of two Hospitals in Rochester Minnesota operated by the Mayo Clinic. Every dog has his day and I've had mine and given whatever advice was mine to give (and a little more). It was exhilarating to get the chance to be useful, which is always an issue for a writer (What good does fiction do?), and Mr. Blue was a way to be useful. Nothing human is beneath a writer's attention; the basic questions about how to attract a lover and what to do with one once you get one and how to deal with disappointment in marriage are the stuff that fiction is made from, so why not try to speak directly? And so I did. And now it's time to move on.

In 2004 Keillor published a collection of political essays called Homegrown Democrat, and in June 2005 he began a syndicated newspaper column called "The Old Scout," which often addresses political issues. The column also runs at Salon. com.

Keillor wrote the screenplay for the 2006 movie version of A Prairie Home Companion, which was directed by Robert Altman. A Prairie Home Companion is a 2006 ensemble comedy Elegy directed by Robert Altman, his final film released just five Robert Bernard Altman (February 20 1925 – November 20 2006 was an American Film director known for making films that are highly naturalistic, but with (Keillor also appears in the movie. )

Bookselling

On November 1, 2006, Keillor opened an independent bookstore in the historic Cathedral Hill area of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Events 996 - Emperor Otto III issues a deed to Gottschalk Bishop of Freising which is the oldest known document using the name Ostarrîchi Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

Cathedral Hill is in the Summit-University neighborhood. [18] The bookstore opening was covered by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The St Paul Pioneer Press is a Newspaper based in St Paul Minnesota, primarily serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area [19]

Awards and other recognition

Controversies

In 2005, Keillor's attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter to MNSPeak. com regarding their production of a T-Shirt bearing the inscription "A Prairie Ho Companion". [22]

In 2006, after a visit to a United Methodist Church in Highland Park, TX, Keillor created a local controversy with his remarks about the event,[23] including the rhetorical suggestion of a connection between event attendees and supporters of torture and a statement creating an impression of political intimidation: "I walked in, was met by two burly security men . The United Methodist Church is the largest Methodist denomination and the second largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Highland Park is a town in central Dallas County, Texas, United States. . . and within 10 minutes was told by three people that this was the Bush's church and that it would be better if I didn't talk about politics. " The security detail is purportedly routine for the venue, and according to attendees Keillor did not interact with any audience members between his arrival and his lecture. [24] Prior to Keillor's remarks, participants in the event had considered the visit to have been cordial and warm. [25]

In 2007, Keillor wrote a column which, in part, criticized "stereotypical" gay parents, who he said were "sardonic fellows with fussy hair who live in over-decorated apartments with a striped sofa and a small weird dog and who worship campy performers. "[26] In response to the strong reactions of many readers, Keillor said

I live in a small world. . . in which gayness is as common as having brown eyes. . . . But in the larger world, gayness is controversial. . . and so gay people feel besieged to some degree and rightly so. . . . My column spoke as we would speak in my small world and it was read by people in the larger world and thus the misunderstanding. [27]

In 2008, Keillor created a controversy in St. Paul when he filed a lawsuit against his neighbors' plans to build an addition on their home, citing his need for "light and air" and a view of "open space and beyond". Keillor's home is significantly larger than others in his neighborhood and would still be significantly larger than his neighbors' planned addition. [28] Keillor came to an undisclosed settlement with his neighbors shortly after the story became public. [29]

In May of 2008, Keillor wrote a controversial article entitled "The Roar of Hollow Patriotism", criticizing the "Rolling Thunder" parade in Washington D. C. on Memorial Day. [30] The “Rolling Thunder” parade is an event that honors and commemorates all United States veterans, and is sponsored by Rolling Thunder, Inc. - a class 501 C-4 non-profit organization that participates in veterans charities and legislation lobbying for military veterans and personnel. [31] The article depicts the biker subculture with negative imagery. He describes the participating bikers as "fat men with ponytails on Harleys" and further depicts them as "grown men playing soldier, making a great hullaballoo without exposing themselves to danger, other than getting drunk and falling off a bike". [32] The article has created an uproar and strong response within the biker community.

Voiceover work

Due to his distinctive voice, Keillor is often used as a voiceover actor. The term voice-over refers to a production technique where a non-diagetic voice is broadcast live or pre-recorded in Radio, Television, Film, Some notable appearances include:

Cultural references

His style, particularly his speaking voice, is often the subject of parody. The Simpsons parodies Keillor in an episode where Homer is shown watching a Keillor-like monologist on television, and upon hitting the set, exclaiming "Stupid TV! Be more funny!", which has become one of The Simpsons' oft-quoted catchphrases. " Marge on the Lam " is the sixth episode of The Simpsons ' fifth season, which originally aired on November 4 1993 on Fox [34] One Boston radio critic likens Keillor and his "down comforter voice" to "a hypnotist intoning, 'You are getting sleepy now'", while noting that Keillor does play to listeners' intelligence. [35] Keillor rarely reads his monologue from a script.

Fellow Minnesotan Michael J. Nelson spoofed Keillor in his novel Death Rat, set in Minnesota and basing several fictional characters on other well-known Minnesota personalities such as Prince and Jesse Ventura. Michael John Nelson (born October 11, 1964 in St Charles Illinois) is an American Comedian and Writer, most famous for Mike Nelson's Death Rat!

The popular online cartoon Homestar Runner once announced on their public radio station that Keillor would be "wrestling his own soothing voice in a steel cage" during their "Public Rage-O" wrestling event. Homestar Runner is a Flash animated Internet cartoon. It mixes Surreal humor with references to 1970s '80s and '90s pop culture

In the bonus DVD material for the album Venue Songs by band They Might Be Giants, John Hodgman delivers a fictitious newscast in which he explains that "The Artist Formerly Known as Public Radio Host Garrison Keillor" and his "legacy of Midwestern pledge-drive funk" inspired the band's first "venue song". Venue Songs is a 2004 album by the group They Might Be Giants. They Might Be Giants (commonly abbreviated to TMBG) is an American Alternative rock band which began as a duo of John Flansburgh and John John Kellogg Hodgman (born June 3, 1971) is an American author and humorist [36]

Fellow Minnesotan, radio host, comedian, actor and political candidate Al Franken, defending his decision to leave Minnesota for a career in show business, commented during a speech in February 2004 in Manchester, New Hampshire that "we can't all be Garrison Keillor. Alan Stuart "Al" Franken (born May 21 1951 is an Emmy Award –winning American Comedian, Writer, progressive Manchester is the largest city in the US state of New Hampshire and the largest city of northern New England, an area composed of Vermont, "
