A Prairie Home Companion.

My mother says this is very funny. Apparently the midwesterners who she went to the movie with did not feel that this movie struck particularly close to home. Hmph.


Garrison Keillor: We come from people who brought us up to believe that life is a struggle, and if you should feel really happy, be patient: this will pass.

Lefty: [singing] Liquor she said, and lick her I did, and I don't work there any more.

Yolanda Johnson: Isn't that a Carter Family song?
Lola Johnson: Who?
Yolanda Johnson: The Carter Family. Like us only famous.


Okay, I have to admit--I watched far more Hee Haw than I ever listened to the Prairie Home Companion, but it sounds like home to me.
