"I just got off stage at the Mission ballroom in Denver, got on my bus, and found out that Todd Snider died. Iâm so sad about this. I liked Todd so much. Todd was fucking hilarious, an awesome songwriter, a great guy and I just loved him. I had great interactions with him over the years. We would email once in a while and even his emails lit my whole day. I would open e-mail and see âtmellymooâ and get so excited.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Todd, he has so many incredible albums - Near truths and hotel rooms is a great start, but there's so many.
Hereâs Toddâs âif tomorrow never comesâ story. You can completely pick up on his whole vibe from this video.
This is just heartbreaking news.
I really believed that Todd was going to be playing and telling stories when he was 100. I liked the world better knowing that he was in it. My heart is with all of his family and friends today."

From my good buddy Greg Ellis · I met Todd Snider when he was 19 or 20. He came bounding into Sundance, fresh from Oregon. His energy was welcoming and frankly, a trifle overwhelming lol. Weed and age are no friends to specificity so the details are fuzzy but that day Todd became a regular. Bobby and I would feed him songwriters like he was a ravenous baby bird. I watched him go from jumping up on stage between bands at Pepperâs (where he bussed tables) singing songs about overweight moped riders to growing into a songwriter of incredible songs that mixed humor and depth. At some point I wrote what im pretty sure was the first story about him-a short piecece about how, citing Terry Allenâs rules for songwriters, Todd refused to pay a ticket ai he could apend a night in jail. We both left San Marcos about the same time I think. He went to Memphis, looking for Keith Sykes; whom Bobby had turned him onto. He found him and that led to his first record deal, with a record produced by my friend RS Field and he was off to the races. Over the years I would see him on the road and he was always so glad to see me. I asked Todd for two favors in all the time I knew him. He did them without hesitation and they made a huge impact on people I loved. Anyone who knew Todd knew what a truly extraordinary person he was. I know we are all hurting. A bright, bright light is gone.

That hospital might be in trouble right now. I didn't understand what was going on but it sounded like they put him on the street even though he knew he was still needing care. Welcome to America; I'm sure he wasn't carrying a Cadillac Blue Cross policy.
The report states he was "violently assaulted" and "sustained serious injuries" and if that's true, you'd think they would have kept him in the hospital regardless of the allegations against him that led to his release.

One other thing to credit him, is how he hated someone even worse than him, The Circus Peanut in Chief.
"He could easily recognize evil due to his lifetime of familiarity". You could probably inscribe that on his grave, we could read it while standing on the dead grass that will refuse to grow over the spot that they desecrate with his remains.

I'd say that sums it up well, but there are mountains of nastiness, dishonesty, deceit, corruption, fear mongering, unnecessary pain and suffering and so much more that needs to be put on his tally. The man has been a net negative for the world. The only good thing he ever did was go away... well now he's done a second good thing. May his legacy forever be remembered as such.
