Abstract
On the live variety radio program A Prairie Home Companion, host Garrison Keillor fabricates the fictional community of Lake Wobegon. In doing so, he also addresses another fabricated community, the baby boom generation. The weekly monologues portray Keillor's persona moving from nostalgia and bitterness to acceptance of the conditions of community as they are. Consequently, they reflect and encourage a passive and uncritical approach toward community life in an audience that has outgrown activism and is searching for an alternative.
