    "comment": "RIP Todd Snider (singer, songwriter) 59\n(October 11, 1966 – November 14, 2025)\n\n(NPR) Todd Snider, a singer whose thoughtfully freewheeling tunes and cosmic-stoner songwriting made him a beloved figure in American roots music, has died. He was 59.\n\nSnider's family and friends had said in a Friday statement that he had been diagnosed with pneumonia at a hospital in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and that his situation had since grown more complicated and he was transferred elsewhere. The diagnosis came on the heels of the cancellation of a tour after Snider had been the victim of a violent assault in the Salt Lake City area, according to a Nov. 3 statement from his management team.\n\nBut Salt Lake City police later arrested Snider himself when he at first refused to leave a hospital and later returned and threatened staffers, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.\n\nHe modeled himself on — and at times met and was mentored by — artists like Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark and John Prine. His songs were recorded by artists including Jerry Jeff Walker, Billy Joe Shaver and Tom Jones. And he co-wrote a song with Loretta Lynn that appeared on her 2016 album, \"Full Circle.\"\n\nSnider would do his best-known and most acclaimed work for Prine's independent label Oh Boy in the early 2000s. It included the albums \"New Connection,\" \"Near Truths and Hotel Rooms\" and \"East Nashville Skyline,\" a 2004 collection that's considered by many to be his best.\n\nSnider was born and raised in Oregon before settling and making his musical chops in San Marcos, Texas. He eventually made his way to Nashville, and was dubbed by some the unofficial \"mayor of East Nashville,\" assuming the title from a friend memorialized thusly in his \"Train Song.\"",
