Ketchup GK:....after a message from the Ketchup Advisory Board. TR (as Hal Riney): Once there was a town and it was a lot like many other towns ---- it had alleys and swing sets and a hose at the gas station that dinged when you drove over it --- but in this town, there was only a commercial radio station that broadcast hideous commercials and brain-numbing swill from morning to night so that one by one people began wandering into the woods and not coming back.....until one day....public radio arrived.....and suddenly you could hear organ sonatas and interviews with shepherds and festivals of Lithuanian choral music and a nine- minute documentary on an Appalachian woman who makes weather vanes out of coat hangers and call-in shows featuring sociologists....and life became good again.....and that's why we here at the Ketchup Advisory Board ask you to support public radio. It's a lot like ketchup itself. Part of the richness and grandeur of life. Ketchup...all the best a ketchup can be.... ©1996 BY GARRISON KEILLOR |
