[thomsen59]

@MrPrinceOFpa Dear Mr. Troll - If you did listen to Jerry Garcia, i don't think you listened closely enough...

[MrPrinceOFpa]

[MrRustyTomBone]

Libertarian FTW

[KayoteThunder]

@MrRustyTomBone Are you really libertarian? If so then high five I am more socialist but I love how libertarians don't give a shit about what people do with their personal lives.

[MrRustyTomBone]

@KayoteThunder Yes, I'm truly a libertarian. I used to be a socialist till i learned that Socialism just means more government regulations and that is what is killing our country. So I did some studying and found out that I was actually Libertarian this whole time and didn't know it which I think is the case for most people if they just do their own knowledge instead of getting their definitions from their TV talking heads.

[KayoteThunder]

@MrRustyTomBone A lot of this economic collapse happened because of lack of regulation on banks and big business. That is why I am economically socialist. Some regulations need to be there but not to much. That is why I look for balance. Yeah t.v and radio pundits are some of the worst.

[MrRustyTomBone]

@KayoteThunder actually the economic collapse is because of the regulations that make it so only the banks and big business are too big to fail. watch?v=l37RhdFGVsM this should be mandatory in school.

[funhousederek]

He was doing Mitch before anyone knew who Mitch was....but better. Love you Todd. You rules Muckelwain! Please come to Knoxville!

[elcubanorojo]

Todd Snider was bringing hippies together for 15 years before anybody even knew who the hell Mitch Hedburg was. No offense to Mitch, cause I love him too may he rest in peace, but don't make ignorant statements unless you know what you're talking about.

Also, Mitch and Todd would've gotten along great!

[shleepy87]

Yep, definitely sounds like Mitch. That was my first thought, before I even read the comments.

[KidsBookReader]

he doesn't need to make money. well, because if you make money you have to be a greedy white male right-wing republican corporate frat boy graduate of the silver spoon league of voters. all hippies should work for free. no profit, know peace. right on brother.

[lkmrn325]

Dude sounds like mitch hedburg. o.O

[KidsBookReader]

@lkmrn325 dude clearly imitates Mitch, and does not give him the credit.

[sjofu]

When did Todd ever say that anyone with a differing viewpoint did not have the right to live or express their feelings,just more reactionary,Rightwing, cryin' and a lyin'!!It is only the HYPOCRITICAL,Bible Thumping RepubliCONS that viciously attack, belittle and silence anyone on the left ,even when the Libs have been proven right on everything from the destruction of our Environment , Minority,Gay and Women's Rights to the Iraq War started over lies!

[curbshoppin]

Todd is a hero to me....great story teller songwriter.....good as its gets

[joshmore64]

he's halarious. music and comedy rocks.

[whitejay441]

his delivery is a rip off of Mitch Hedgberg at the beginning. still funny though

[SSchus87]

Sorry coach...

[stardogcustoms]

This is THE story of my highschool years, minus the hallucinogenic drugs. I love you Todd!

[davidcattoor]

Todd is for individuality, as long as your point of view doesn't conflict with his. Then, you don't have the right to live.

[jakeyhart]

@davidcattoor what ajoke

[davidcattoor]

For somebody that proposes to be enlightened & so full of love, Todd sure does hate alot.

[DoItFoDaKids]

@davidcattoor gotta sit back, laugh, and enjoy the song brah

[joncolorado]

That's actually not Tom Skinner to his right, its Vince Herman of Great American Taxi. They are very cool too!

[leekoreeko]

I his rambling he does sound like one late great Mitch Hedberg.

[lakota66]

what a great speech:))) thank you todd.

[COD4Mixer]

Todd Snider = Mitch Hedberg?

[chand411]

god damn so true

[jeffanglin1]

This is vintage Snider, rambling hilarious soulful blabber!! my favorite part is watching Tom Skinner (accoustic guitar to Snider's right) crack up! Skinner is a funny guy and a great songwriter in his own right! great clip!! thanks

[joncolorado]

@jeffanglin1 That's actually not Tom Skinner, its Vince Herman of Great American Taxi.

[forenergy]

he is one of us...god bless 'em

[solutioncow]

He's like if you crossed Mitch Hedberg with Tom Petty.

[showimprovement]

love it love it....todd is an american treasure...

[ColCrackABitch]

He sounds like Mitch Hedberg

[michaelfarm]

@ColCrackABitch my thoughts exactly.



[mtlfrdx]

@ColCrackABitch I agree 1000%... they could've been twins for that highly entertaining and funny story

[mauimom67]

roflmao. This sure brings back some funny memories of highschool.

[aburgheim]

THIS GIVES ONE HOPE THAT INDEED THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE STILL TOTALLY FUCKING RIGHT ABOUT OUR COUNTRY!!!!! MAYBE ONE DAY THIS MAN WILL SPEAK TO ALL ANAL RETENTIVE AMERICANS AFTER THEY HAD SOME MUSHROOMS OR POT AND TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND!! I know, i am a dreamer ..... but i am not the only one! PEACE!

[jcart12357]

Usually when a performer starts talking between songs you're thinking "Just shut up and play". Todds stories are almost as good as his songs.

[curbshoppin]

Todd is the best storyteller songwriter ever..and one funny mofo

[joker4153]

Great set that day, thanks for posting!

[timurbekmambetov1]

Bless his little pot smokin', porn watchin' , lazy-ass hippy heart.

[bearacino]

I watched that show live and it was so cool to relive that moment again via this video. I've since seen Todd in a small club and he is genius! A real, albeit low-key, stage presence and so genuine. He's a new favorite musician to me thanks to HSBG!

[MODERATECALVINISM]

Romans 12:12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

[KYChip]

This is why Todd Snider deserves so much more attention than he gets. The man is a true American troubador.

[bubba007ss]

Only in Can Francisco Ca.

[taosimplicity]

Tod Snider is reason for the season.

[MrAprilsmay]

So friggin smart!! What a gem!!

[pholkiephred]

He's kinda goin' for the Arlo Guthrie of his generation award.

[turboocco]

Todd is great. I appreciate that he allows content services to use his content rather than following the typical commercial content owner tactics. I hope he's making a decent living given that he is entertaining so many folks.

[lakota66]

@turboocco totally agree with you! millions of candles up for you:))

[Jaymzbawnd]

I love this guy.  I wish more people knew more of his stuff than Beer Run.

[nutshot07]

Joe_Pesci sucks dick for money.

[1152ndProductions]

Todd is amazing!

[haresgroove]

the Shit right here!!!!!

[deadk133]

love the description of highschool football

[cntrydb]

Talks like the late mitch Hedberg (SP)

[joem1234569]

@cntrydb i noticed that as well. very similar

[MuddyG]

Todd Snider rules. He's great with The Taxi, too. This is a really nice video. What kind of camera did you use?

[MrFrannytube]

I haven't laughed this hard in years!!! Todd is da man! Great story!

[SSchus87]

My day just got better from watching this. Thanks so much for sharing it!!! So much better than the one I posted on my page.

[jtmnt]

I can almost feel the warm weather and cold beer... this is so.... live!

[FloatingGrin]

Todd is so the fucking man.
