If you want to get into Todd…I would recommend the bootleg Live From Moondawg’s Tavern.
http://atruersound.blogspot.com/2009/06/from-archives-todd-snider-tales-from.html

So good Todd is writing a book based around it (per his recent paste interview….which I found via this site BTW)

and let me say I always enjoy these as well….it must be frustrating every time you do one to have everyone only comment on what songs you FORGOT :-P

An example lyric: “I’m so full of H-A-T-R-E-D, I’m bitter and mailgned. You’ve got me P-I-S-S-E-D Off, I’m angry most of the time. Why don’t you G-O T-O H-E-Double L you…(umm I better quit here for the sake of decorum!)”. Hey, this describes how I feel about Obama being president, imagine that! (lol)

..And the list can only contain five songs.

I LOVE Todd Snider, but I prefer Garth’s “BeerRun.”

I’m pretty sure there’s a version on YouTube.
