RIP Todd Snider

[dravnx]

A great singer/songwriter/troubadour/poet/entertainer.
I've been listening to his music for a couple of decades and got to see him a couple of times.
I had tickets to see him last week at the GMAH.

Today I learned of the deaths of both Todd Snider and Kenny Easley. Never had the chance to see Todd live.

This is a good memory, especially as I'm a big Robert Earl Keen fan.

This one hits hard. Been worried since the Utah incident and injuries. He would recall incidents where he was mistaken for homeless before. It used to be harmless and funny. He would be proud of his goodwill attire. He came onstage wearing shoes one rainy winter night, when his whole family was present, and said, “you may have noticed I have shoes on” and relayed, between guitar riffs and licks, how his doctor had said that he should really wear shoes and stop partying. He said,”so I decided to meet him halfway”.
He opened the Agnostic Church of Enlightenment and Wonder in order to meet up with musicians and post music during covid. His purple studio in East Nasty is iconic. Many sadz are being had.

my roomie and i sing this to each other. Trey wrote me that Todd had died and said he was having a bluegrass evening and drinking a beer in Todd’s honor.

RIP, Todd.

Loved his political song but even posting the title would be a no no.

Just google Todd Snider political song to find it.

Condolences to family and friends.

I confess I knew nothing about him before this thread.
Now I feel like I missed out.
That was an interesting read. Such a sad ending. He seemed like a genuinely good dude.

I did the Google.
It made me feel again like I missed out.
It woulda landed sweetly in the now extinct Poli toilet.
