I enjoy Keillor's monologues on A Prarie Home Companion, but the excerpts
in the Atlantic seemed boring to me.  I think the sound of his voice and
his delivery have a lot to do with my enjoyment of "The News From Lake
Wobegon".  It would be interesting to read a transcription of some of my
favorite monologues (e.g. "Storm Home") to test my theory.
