Comments on Reading Tonight

I hate Garrison Keillor so fucking much. Amen.

was it working at a bookstore that turned you into such a hater? yes, a lot of readings sound downright stupid, but why not just ignore them?

I missed the talking points on why we hate Garrison Keillor now -- too insipid and pleasant, or just too old?

"Hi. I'm garrison Keillor. I'm concerned about your children, um, not the ones you have, but the ones you're adopting. Please be a man and a woman. By the way, I've been married three times. I even cheated on my second wife. I think fags are pansies and I'm horrified by the idea of what your flaming child might become. Never mind the fact that I'm an outspoken shithead who happens to have one of the ugliest faces in America."

Pleasant!

yeah, but keillor votes democrat. so all is forgiven.

Hey @2: Ignoring readings isn't my job. Also not my job: liking everything. What is my job: recommending readings and helping people navigate this city's very full and very exciting readings scene, which is very overwhelming at times. There's a lot of good stuff out there, and there's a lot of lazy shit, too. You want Pollyanna, go check out one of Seattle's other alternative weekly's book sections.

Neither Thomas Edison nor Albert Einstein were loving husbands. That doesn't mean I won't turn on a lightbulb, or smash the odd atom now and again.
