Garrison Keillor: selling out. A letter, per se, to American Public Media.
Keillorbegon
Although Keillor doesn't read poetry all that well,
the history and information are ideal,
I download occasionally.
But now that you have sold your listeners out
to corporate adverts - an evil most of the writers Keiller presents did not know -
I am not so sure:
Perhaps you could lengthen the body of the program
to make up for the atrocities at either end.
Or perhaps, like other literate, thinking people - the few left-
I can just go away.
My brain cannot process Emerson tainted by Acura,
DeSade perverted by Visa. It does not equate.
Sorry. Well no I'm not, really. Just trying to be polite
as I watch you devour yourselves, and
what was a very, good, idea.
