Music and the spoken word ... hold the music

Today's music isn't really music ... it's an example of "Minnesota Nice." Or "Another Reason I'm Not in Love with Minnesota."

I'm a direct person. I give yes or no answers, not 'sorta' or 'if you want' answers. I ask 'will you' instead of 'do you want to'. Generally if someone asks me, "Do you want to [fill in the blank]?" and I don't want to I'll say no.

People here are evasion English speakers. It drives me insane. They also say supper. I'll rant about that later.

Here, Garrison Keillor explains how people here communicate. Take a listen.
