Todd Snider 1966 - 2025

To paraphrase Jack Nicholson's famous remark about Bob Dylan -- this guy was a riot.

Have I mentioned that this death shit is really starting to piss me off?

Snider was a wonderful songwriter. Social commentary, humor, heartfelt character pieces. Quite the range. One of my favorite lines from his debut "A woman like you walks in a place like this, you can almost hear the promises break" https://kleaveburg.blogspot.com/search/label/Todd%20Snider

The closing line is the best!!!
"Pack the van, we're going back to Athens!"
Perfect!

Where has Todd Snider been my whole life? Why didn't I become aware of him until he died?

WTF 😵‍💫
Just yesterday I was watching his Farm Aid, Christian Conservative...
performance for @ the 20th time.
He came to my attention maybe 15 years ago as he had caught the attention of Don Imus on WNBC.

Just read the circumstances of his death - so sad. I immediately thought of Ray Davies, New Orleans.
