How true! History's greatest artists, which include among them Todd Snider, have the unique ability to create works that do that. That's why we love and need them so much.
I had the opportunity to meet Mike at Gunnerz in Iowa City in 1998. He was the road manager at the time ( I believe). Seemed like a great guy. I mentioned that I was planning on taping the show (as I always had in the past, with Todd's blessing) but Mike said Al (Bunetta) wasn't allowing it anymore. I said, well, what Al doesn't know won't hurt him? Mike said "That wouldn't be cool, man". So, I didn't.
Holy Shit- that’s f’ing hysterical. Mike obviously had no daggers…
Awesome. Funny. Heartbreaking. All at the same time.
John, Robyn Hitchock once told me that the greatest works make you laugh and cry.

Well, I'm sorry you have that kind of family strife; I know the feeling. But as you say, it does provide certain satisfaction inducing opportunities.
Great story, by the way.
I should serve my brother with papers saying I want my kidney back.
Love this

Boo. But that does sound like a very Ken thing to do, because you're so damn nice.
You are hilarious! ❤️
Solid human.✊
I love your work with Kid Rock.
now that's how you sub stack right there.
I love this. We need more Todd Snider's in the world.
A guffaw worthy tale of sibling pranktology as opposed to a tale of sibling proctology.
