Maya Rudolph interviewed on local TV about filming the Prairie Home Companion movie:

I like it here, yeah, it's so quiet!

She was standing on one of the busiest (downtown) streets in the state.

I got to hear the sirens yesterday, I thought the world was coming to an end.

We had some spits of rain Monday, I'll give her that. Speaking of PHC, the site has a noteworthy apology to the fans about Saturday's show:

Saturday's broadcast from Chastain Park amphitheater was not the show it might have been, and I am awfully sorry. The show (which was taped on Friday evening) was troubled by a large number of loud drunks sitting in the expensive corporate seats down close to the stage. This is an odd experience for me, to be standing on the lip of the stage and telling the news from Lake Wobegon and hearing people yell at me, "Tell the one about the dog" and "How's the fishing this year?" and so forth. You could hear the wine bottles clanking for two hours.

Being marginally familiar with Chastain Park, I can say that this is about as surprising as jam on toast. (Stink on dog? BS on politician?)
