re: RIP Todd Snider

He got jumped in Utah after a show.

Not to be a jerk, but has that been substantiated? Very sad no matter what but I don’t think there’s any record of the attack, that’s just what he told the hospital. Was he touring solo? Seems like there’s more to the story than is being told.

You can read the whole article if you want, but there was a little more to it than just treating him and kicking him out.

In the article...

quote:

The hospital official said Snider stood in the hallway, "cussing and screaming" and was "loud and obnoxious" while calling people names. Another staff member is heard saying that Snider had threatened to "kick my ___."

That's a little more than just being combative...

But obviously this dude had something going on with him, he was just mugged and beaten over the head. We weren't there to see what actually went down.

Watching the body cam video, he definitely seems off. They were treating him like some random drug attic or a homeless person. I think they should brought him back to the hospital.

Greensky and many others on tour honored him with a song and words. Nice version of Play A Train Song last night in Miami to close out their Fall tour.

I remember buying something at Paradise Records in the early 90’s and a promo cd of “Alright Guy” was thrown in the bag. I listened to it more than a few times for sure, and years later I saw Jerry Jeff at the Varsity and he covered it. I was like “hey! I remember that song from back in the day..”

Hopefully, Jerry Jeff was waiting to greet him in the land where everyone is barefoot.
