Wish I still had my Powdermilk Biscuits tee shirt that Sandy brought back from St. Paul when she saw him live. Our generation will be tested to see if we can survive after Life in Lake Webegon.

Damnedest performance I've ever seen: he simply talked for around an hour and half, a story, wandering off then bringing it back, all off the cuff. <br />He's an interesting person, some of the recent articles written about him have shown how different his on-stage and off persona is, and his comments about leaving the show are remarkably unsentimental. <br />I didn't know Lewis died on the same day as JFK.....talk about being upstaged. <br />Cheers,<br />Mike<br /> Should Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-7048869596660855892016-07-04T14:48:39.005-07:002016-07-04T14:48:39.005-07:00You'll have a chance to read his work now.

My favorite Lake Wobegon story has always been his hitting his sister in the butt with a juicy tomato. I look forward to reading Garrison's upcoming articles in the Washington Post. When the Prarie Home Companion resumes in October, I'll tune in.
