Pie in the Sky

Rhubarb? An acquired taste that sometimes needs doctoring up before it’s palatable. So is Garrison Keillor. NPR listener or not, you either love or hate the guy, but it’s his entourage that tips the scale in his favor: The laconic denizens of Lake Woebegone, fictional gumshoe Guy Noir, the stellar Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, sound-effects master Fred Newman and such high-caliber special guests as crystal-piped Suzy Bogguss are what really make Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion radio show so eminently listenable.
