How much of him have you read? This strikes me as pretty standard Garrison Keillor schtick for his Salon column (which is my only experience with him); the 'I am just a regular old (wealthy straight white male) American and I grew up when everyone was (wealthy straight white male) American and we all bonded over baseball and it was so much easier then and now I'm old and the world is big and different and my daughter seems to be fine with it but boy is it odd' thing. He wrote this exact article like six months ago, but it was about seatbelts.
Keillor is why I'm always suspicious of nostalgia.
