[BC] A Prairie Home Companion, the film

[Rob Atkinson]

I indend to see it; I have developed the bad habit of missing movies I want 
to see lately.  I blew the chance to see Al Gore's film last weekend and now 
it's gone.   Anyway, I notice in the PHC newspaper ads that the cast are all 
using re27s.   I don't know why, but there's something about that that 
strikes me as slightly amusing, I guess because when I went to see the live 
real PHC a few years ago, when they were at Medinah Temple in Chicago, they 
weren't using 27s (can't remember what they had) and a RE27 (getting back to 
the movie now) is a pretty expensive mic for a station in financial trouble. 
  Okay, I'm falling prey to the tendency to pick apart any entertainment 
that has anything to do with something I know enough about, to be dangerous

All radio folks should see the new Altman movie "A Prairie Home Companion". 
Now, you have to love Altman and Keillor -and live radio - to love the film. 
It is about an old fashioned radio show sponsored by an old fashioned radio 
station. Many do not know it is their last broadcast. The knell is about to 
strike. The station is being sold. The old gang that made the place special 
is being dispersed and dismissed. The venue is being torn apart.

Ironically, the preview was sponsored by WVXU, which had just that happen to 
it the year before. Art imitates life ...
