Gone too soon. His most recent album which was released in October left me with the impression that something wasn’t going right for Todd Snider.

"Statistician's Blues"

They say 3 percent of the people use 5 to 6 percent of their brain
97 percent use 3 percent and the rest goes down the drain
I'll never know which one I am but I'll bet you my last dime
99 percent think we're 3 percent 100 percent of the time

In recent photos, he looks to be the picture of health.
I guess a fatal condition can happen to anyone and at any time.

“Mystery Illness” and “Pneumonia” doesn’t really compute.

He was in a group recently named Hard Working Americans that had a song Black Land Farmer which was quite good:

Entertaining enough but a super hate filled leftist who put it in his music.

He chose to live a miserable Godless life. It’s sad but somehow not surprising.

He should have listened to Billy Joe Shaver.

I enjoyed his songs and overlooked the fact he was a raging leftie.

I didn’t know a lot of this performer’s work, but I remember one song I heard back in the early 2000’s that was hilarious. I think it’s called Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues. I wouldn’t characterize it as country, though. Sad that he passed so young.
