Kind words like these from a writer you admire can keep you going on the days that drag, you guys. 👽 🙏 🍻
I bought this collection a while back and started it the other day: it's *so* much fun, often hilarious and genuinely spooky at the very same time, and with such an eye for its locale, the Canadian prairies, and those who live there. 'X-files on VHS' could have been written just for me. Loving it.
Look, friend, I’m not here to tell you what to do but wrapping this collection up and sliding under the tree for a person or two on your list this year isn’t a half bad idea bookshop.org/p/books/wher...

RIP Todd Snider. One of the greats, an unheralded songwriters' songwriter and a genuine character. Loved and proselytized for almost as long as I've been a music critic. A guy not only influenced by Prine/Kristofferson/Jerry Jeff but he seemed to come out of the same world.
