FROM: Mary Wickentower A tribute to A Prairie Home CompanionSongs by Garrison Keillor and Sara WatkinsSongwriter Bob Dillon (Minnesota)http://prairiehome.publicradio.orgMinneapolis-St. Paul KNOW-FM- 91.1-----------------------------------------------------The basic premise behind Saturday by the Radio: In this MTV world that we have created, we have lost the ability to sit quietly, listen, and savor the richness of the moment and the Zen of the human spirit personified in music. This is not an anti-MTV statement; this is to say that as we embrace what is exciting and new, we need not throw away that which has proven worth keeping.It is also gentle reminder that ultimately what we take away from Second Life and commit to memory is not the RP, or the sex sims or any of the variety of commercial experiences; what touches us most are the brief but enduring human moments.Recently someone remarked that Saturday by the Radio is rather like the Andy Warhol of machinima.
