KEILLOR’S GARRISON

Dennis McDougal’s review of “A Prairie Home Companion” (“Heartland Satirist on the Circuit,” Nov. 25) could not have been more inappropriate. It was cynical, shallow, misguided and humorless, everything “PHC” is not.

McDougal made a futile and stupid attempt to find some weakness in Keillor, some example that makes this popular figure an object of our scorn.

But Keillor’s persona and interviewing style are not the appropriate subjects. Those are the interest of journalists who write as if they were trained at People magazine.
