Fellini and Garrison Keillor

Somewhat different public personae, but maybe today we learn that just a shade behind the public persona Garrison is even more appreciative of Fellini. This morning on Writer's Almanac Garrison noted that Fellini was born today and gave us the quote:

"You can't teach old fleas new dogs."

In this form the quote seems a quaint little switch up of the standard. But Garrison was excerpting from the full quote (down in the "more" section, or search on fleas) And perhaps he couldn't have put the whole deal on NPR (at least not without Audience Services getting an earful).

Apparently staying home from dance class with a cold is good for blogging. Fingers working better than the whole body...
