Previously, the August 8, 2010 episode of A Prairie Home Companion featured the famous (or is it infamous?) story of the runaway choir that overthrew its conductor and departed the Lutheran Church basement for life on the road as rock stars. The segment was chosen by popular request from favorite shows of recent years. Brent Jones of Charlotte, North Carolina, wrote in with the request.
