Anyone else see this re: Garrison Keillor's show?
At the end of his daily radio spot Keillor typically reads a poem. Recent poems had included words such as "breast" and the phrase "get high." Another included suggestive sexual content, according to WUKY General Manager Tom Goddell.

He said there were no complaints, but station officials worried about recent Federal Communications Commission crackdowns on language.

I saw this little blurb in my local paper and couldn't believe it and didn't remember seeing anything here.

No complaints, canceled only because they were "afraid" of the FCC
:wow:

2. We should show our support for Garrison Keillor's show...
reading a poem with the word "breast" in it is nothing compared with the trash that is on television. I love Keillor's show. It's clean. It's funny. It's entertaining. How could we show our support for his show to those scardy cats who are apparently looking for reasons to cause trouble?
