This CD had me laughing out loud especially the story "Homecoming" which involves the confrontation between the Lake Wobegon homecoming parade (headed by a tank - of course) and a truck with a different type of tank - a septic one. In terms of big comic set pieces, I don't think GK has bettered this one (not even the classic "Living Flag")
I bought HUMOR; More News From Lake Wobegon in 2011 from . Was very disappointed that only four of the sixteen essays are on the CD. Nowhere in the description of the contents does the producers let the buyer know which essays are included on the CD. That is why I give this CD only one star.They are: Pontoon Boat / Author/ The Freedom of the Press / VicksThe total run time is 70 minutes.
Garrison Keillor's Home on the Prairie is filled with funny stories.. In some cases total side splitters.. This falls short of a laugh..really.. Had originally bought it to give as gift but SO glad didn't as it definitely does not represent Mr Keillor's infinite storytelling talent.. Kept waiting for a laugh. So, in order to give what had hoped would amount to listening pleasure..had to buy another copy of my original find. He is so funny..but don't buy this..it's not funny, it's not even interesting. Sorry, but that is an honest review.
It was many years ago we discovered "More Humor: Stories from the Collection More News from Lake WobegonNews From Lake Wobegon" on our radio on Saturday evening. It is fun to have some vignettes at hand any time any of us want to hear Garrison Keillor's particular brand of humor. The opening tract is a personal favorite. Very humorous. I was disappointed that there weren't more stories however. I have to admit I was surprised to find only 4 tracks on this CD. But there were funny, I must say.
Maybe it's because it's a little old but the humor was somewhat lame on this CD. We like Garrison Keillor but this just wasn't his best.
Not as good as the prairie home joke show. Has about 4 stories. All good, but stories are told with filler details that build the characters but it seems like he is just wandering rather than creating literature. I wish there were more jokes and I wish it were longer.
Need to chill out and see the world in a better light? TakeGarrison Kiellor on your next car commute. He is the only grace standing between me and the driver that made me miss the red light, or the "better than you" little yuppies that stop a mile-long waiting line, so they can cut in. Yes, Lake Wobegon is the answer. Take a trip!
have you heard the saying "to make a long story short"? Keillor does the opposite, he makes a short story long. i didn't find the stories very funny. i guess you have to live in the upper midwest to see the humor in this disc.
