A Prairie Home Companion

posted by Jason Kottke   Sep 10, 2007

It?s been a few weeks since I saw the movie, but I still can?t get the Rhubarb Pie song out of my head:

But one little thing can revive a guy,
And that is home-made rhubarb pie.
Serve it up, nice and hot.
Maybe things aren?t as futile as you thought.

Mama?s little baby loves rhubarb, rhubarb,
Beebopareebop Rhubarb Pie.
Mama?s little baby loves rhubarb, rhubarb,
Beebopareebop Rhubarb Pie.

Related ?fascinating? facts:

Garrison Keillor got the idea for doing A Prairie Home Companion (the radio show) after writing an article for the New Yorker about the Grand Old Opry in 1974.

While driving in unfamiliar territory in an episode of The Wire, Bodie Broadus ends up listening to A Prairie Home Companion on the radio when he can?t find any hip-hop.
