Todd Snider. Been listening to this guy for about 2 years now. He inspired me to pick up the guitar and work on my own songs. And he continues to inspire me everyday. Todd Snider, in my opinion, the greatest songwriter of all time.
I just saw you for the fist time the other day and this is the second one of yours I've seen. I love you. I hope to see more of you. This is great stuff!
hey Todd, I'm a republican (and a peace-loving, porn watching, pot smoking hippie too) and will be delighted to help you subvert from within. Yeah, I love being a walking paradox. Love ya, man.
I'm a conservative, Christian, rightwing Republican, straight, white, flag wavin, Rush listenin', land pavin', tree choppin', American male ... and I like this guy! Oh but I'm not aquainted with the Quayles.
Funny how some ppl get really defensive when they're nailed to the cross they bash everybody else with. Todd's a funny, loving, gentle guy. Listen to his "Tension" or "Waco Moon" or "Fortunate One". C'mon guys, crawl outta yer caves! Put down yer clubs & guns for a second. He laffs at himself. Why can't you?
This song is polarizing for me-I’m a straight, white, conservative male who loves his country and guns, but I also smoke pot, don’t think it’s any of my damn business who anybody else bangs, don’t mind hippies (except for the fact that they’re pushy w their views sometimes-believe whatever makes you happy but don’t push it on me), and I watch porn. I guess I’m just the kinda dude who wants everybody to be happy and leave everybody else alone
Whereas your mantra is to wait three months, then randomly reply. You have my deepest sympathies if this kept you up at night for 3 months, but I honestly had to re-read the whole exchange to know what the hell you were talking about. You're much more invested in it than I am, is what I'm saying. So I don't care enough to trade another set of jabs with you. Enjoy the hollow victory of winning a meaningless argument online. Honestly, three months later?
Man he holds that guitar low for an acoustic. You're not going to be able to do any super hot flatpicking that way but that's not really his thing so it doesn't matter I guess.
people that argue about politics in the comments of music videos are tarded. especially people that accuse other people of wanting to commit genocide because they have different political beliefs
What a let down. Don't people know that when they write bigoted music like this they turn half their audience off? What a complete let down. I was about to link this guy to a friend and have been telling everyone about his music. I guess that is over now.
You're not really "right wing." You're just more like a classical liberal, which has always been to the left of monarchy on the political scale. But a social vs. economic "left vs. right" liberal paradigm has created a political scale that's a bit askew. Compare yourself to true right wingers you're probably against, and ask yourself: Are you really THAT conservative?
Why? It's a song. If you like the other music of a performer like Todd, it goes without saying that he's controversial. Disliking a performer for one song says you only liked him for what YOU wanted to hear him say. You didn't appreciate him for who he is as a performer. That's pretty shallow.
Don't be a fool. I love the grunge music scene immensely, but it doesn't remotely keep me from appreciating Todd Snider. Everyone needs to keep a sense of humor, its the only thing keeping us all sane.
Boy, assuming someone is Christian without knowing them is the height of egotism. Don't know what my comment would lead anyone to that! Guess I need to remember the IQ of most posters
the world would be a lot better if everyone was like Todd
This song is more on point today than ever before
I'd like to add it's even MORE on point two years later - right now
even more on point in 2024.
Love this! Recently wondering where all the protest songs are these days! This is wonderful!!!!
I LOVE this guy!! Love his lyrics, love his spirit, love his message!
I just saw Todd Snider in concert for the 8th time and I still get so excited and giddy every single time! I love him!
Tod snider is the new john prine

i love how he laughed when he heard them singing along
I just saw you for the fist time the other day and this is the second one of yours I've seen. I love you. I hope to see more of you. This is great stuff!
he is so stoned. HES FUCKING AWESOME!!

lol....ME too.
I'm a conservative, Christian, rightwing Republican, straight, white, flag wavin, Rush listenin', land pavin', tree choppin', American male ... and I like this guy!

Beautiful
Love You #ToddSnider *****

I like his songs, seems to be a good writer. First heard him on music choice. Very good writer/performer.
Todd Snider did Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion and I missed it! Fuck...
Excellent!!! Luv Him! -3
I love this guy.
This guy is awesome
todd snider is an alright guy.
Sometimes a song is just a song. I can't wait to see Todd in MKE in a coupla weeks.
Todd Snider did Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion and I missed it! Fuck...
Wait, Todd did Bonnaroo too? Fuck my life!
Todd Snider rules !!
Love it
Well put friend.
awesome performance at Farm Aid 2014!
Strange he played this at FarmAid, because most farmers are conservative Christian, right wing Republican, straight, white, American males...
makes sense that he played it then............
Anyone want to discuss how awesome Todd Snider is instead of butting heads over socio-political ideologies?
It would be nice to have a job like Todd's no piss test.
great song... widespread panic- diggin' hippies like me.
This song is polarizing for me-I’m a straight, white, conservative male who loves his country and guns, but I also smoke pot, don’t think it’s any of my damn business who anybody else bangs, don’t mind hippies (except for the fact that they’re pushy w their views sometimes-believe whatever makes you happy but don’t push it on me), and I watch porn.

You may not meet the definition of conservative. Besides…labels are for cans.
thank you ewe
my anthem..
Takes me back a few years to the real me.
a good song is a good song.....republican or not....lighten up Francis....
I love you.
Should be played before watching the Repuglican Debates!
damn, I forgot what you said. it's ok, I'm sure I agreed with you.
its me!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Todd...now I hate myself
There are 3 teabaggers listening to Todd??
Lol, love it!!
Perfect song..... Just on target and perfect!!
Fuck Yeah!
God bless the Republicans !!

Son of 'The Dude'.

@TheLaluna1 What would Obama learn?
Sounds like me. Can I repent?
; ))
@verbaud Lebowski for the win!!!!
i can not tell jokes but that song was good:)
Agree with Julia almost as good as John prine
this guy wrote a song about me! awesome!!! :D
Saw him recently. Too bad he can't do all of his material in one show.
Truth hurts, huh?

I find this song very problematic. I may need emergency psychotherapy.
And you care... because... ???
Man he holds that guitar low for an acoustic. You're not going to be able to do any super hot flatpicking that way but that's not really his thing so it doesn't matter I guess.
You have done all this and you choose to argue with some random guy on youtube
scroll down and look at everyone get offended over a fucking song. AMERICA.
people that argue about politics in the comments of music videos are tarded. especially people that accuse other people of wanting to commit genocide because they have different political beliefs
Haters of hippies like me.,.
What a let down. Don't people know that when they write bigoted music like this they turn half their audience off? What a complete let down. I was about to link this guy to a friend and have been telling everyone about his music. I guess that is over now.
not bad for a frasier boy
Let me get this strait, you think that one news channel equals seven? Are you really saying that? Quit drinking the koolaid.

How did that whole thing work out for you?
lol he's revealing the weaknesses of both sides lol
I think so too
Libertarian = anarchist.
And you can dance around that truth all you want.
I'm not afraid of black people I'm actually OK with them , but I don't like Rush Limbaugh.
LOL@ "Marxist bigot".
Repent, the kingdom of God is at hand.
Used to like Todd Snider but this song made me lose all respect for him.

Barbara Ewart Must be one of those type of Christians. Ha Ha
