From 1999 to 2004-ish, I was one of the contributing writers for Garrison Keillor's renowned radio show "A Prairie Home Companion." I learned a lot of things there, mostly how to spell 'prairie." It was a solid gig and I'm proud of my work there. But, like any other job, there were...things...
Bob Dylan releases a book. Audio books are becoming a thing. One of the cast of PHC does Dylan and has done him several times. What more natural than a sketch about Dylan reading his own book? I'm sure others came up with it, maybe. I mean, PHC didn't use it. But I took it and submitted to All Star Network. They produced it. I mean, that's what keeps me going; sometimes the no you get isn't the only opinion out there. The next guy could be a yes.
