Re: Thile Transitioning to Full-Time Host of A Prairie Home Compa
Dawg's sorry tale of GK's lack of concern jibes with stories i've heard from musicians i've played with who were part of the Powder Milk Biscuit Band. Keillor is just not a nice guy. Through being "on the inside" of public radio for a bit, his reputation as such goes back to when he was still known as Gary.
A bit of caution for those of us celebrating Chris' ascension ..... it may be short. GK is a micro managing control freak who is "transitioning" out of his role and will have control over who does what for a time after Chris or whoever takes over GK's place in the broadcast. As intelligent and as talented as Thile is he may get to the point of "Who needs this ####!" Perhaps quickly.
