Been There, Done An evening with "just folks" Liz Elder The girls in skimpy summer sum-mer clothing at the Garrison Keeler show last week at Red Butte Garden were not very sexy. Maybe it's because they were raised as Mormons and don't know how to be sexy in tank tops, or they could be non-Mormons who are around Mormons so much they don't remember how to look sexy. y At any rate, somehow no one seemed to know that it's not enough to have 70 of your skin exposed You also have to have a tan, and no bruises, and your tattoo cant be sagging. You can't ghimph around like a boy, or stalk like a water bird You have to walk like a normal person who's okay with themselves. You have to look like you believe in trashy clothes, like they're alright and normal Okay, so I'm being whiney. Seeing people in Salt Lake, the Other Utah, the land away from home, was the point of going to Red Butte. In an effort ef-fort to stem our slide down the slippery slope to senility, we've been trying to get out more. Or rather, I've been trying to get us out more. My husband doesn't believe in leaving the house for fear we won't be able to find our way home. Foreign restaurants, subtitled sub-titled movies, crowded concerts, con-certs, everything that men hate congenitalfy, weVe gone tothemalL Red Butte Garden attracts a seriously green crowd (Important (Im-portant tip, don't come late because you'll have to park in Tulsa and it's an uphill climb. I was almost ready to lie down on the road and belly crawl by the time we finally got to the garden.) But back to the crowd, many of the "just folks" coming com-ing to see Garrison seemed a bit like poseurs. It's like they wore costumes in lieu of clcthing. (Another aside: if you don't know who Garrison Keeler is, he's a radio personality on KUER, 90.1, on Saturday. KUER is the local NPR station sta-tion and Saturday is the finest fin-est day in the world on Utah radio. At 10 a.m. you can hear Click and Clack, Tom and Ray Magliozzi on "Car Talk." They diagnose people's peo-ple's car problems. Sample car problem from last week: a woman was going through a hairy divorce and she suspected sus-pected her ex-husband of putting put-ting a GPS tracker on her car and they told her how to get it off if there was one. It's a great show! Then comes "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" where people answer questions about the week's news. I have seriously seri-ously sobbed with laughter listening to this. Next is "American Routes," two hours of America's root music: bluegrass, blues, zydeco, Latin, country. If it's indigenous to any part of America, it's been on American Ameri-can Routes. Next is "On The Media" and you can go make phone calls or fix lunch. Then comes "This Ameri- d Pacific d e r i 0 II k. laf ..; I That can Life" on which your host Ira Glass picks a themS, e.g "duty" or "prom," and people tell stories about their experiences experi-ences with the theme. Last but never least isXjar-' rison Keeler's show, "Prairie ; Home Companion," at: a -compilation of funny skits, music and a story about Lake Wobegon, Keeler's imaginary imagi-nary hometown.) " So most of the crowd at Red Butte wore clothing appropriate ap-propriate for people who listen to NPR: aware, khaki-colored khaki-colored t-shirts with obscure references. Lots of people knew all the words to all the songs and sang them aloud Odd for an over-fifty crowd Keeler is an awkward looking man in his sixties. He has a dish-shaped face, more soupplate from the side, and big nerdy-guy glasses with dark frames. He sports a white Mark Twain-like suit and jams his left hand deep into his coat pocket like he was going to point his finger and say "stick 'em up." He looks like he'd have a hard time getting a date; definitely a radio star rather vyonsiqnment IS 1 1 CWOiuinl vozuOtcRe4 1 1 (Llolhinj ' ; HantsfsBecopativc Items WANDERING WARDROBE 511 South Main St. Springville, UT 489-3893 , 2006 FORD -2 WWW.CARGUYSUT.COM 372 H.

He can paint you a picture of a summer night in , your old neighborhood that'll have you wiping your brow and your eyes. , ; Along with the fiftyome-things fiftyome-things and the save-the-earth-ers are the pathetic people trying to pretend they don't live in Salt Lake. They need to show you that they're not LDS. IVe sat behind groups of them at the Salt Lake Acting Act-ing Company talking about how they drink wine and smoke.' Who talks about drinking and smoking after high school? You either do or you don't. There were also old women in muumuus with spaghetti straps wearing Birkenstocks. Boy, just what the world needs more of: old lady arms and dirty toes. In other parts of the world, these same people are called Ugly Americans, Ameri-cans, because they're ugly. Our next outing is Sept. 18, when we see the musical "Cats," which I'm reliably informed in-formed is the worst play ever seen. ;J'-, f ...
