Lost a very real and unique one. AI will never simulate Todd Snider.
Todd Snider, the folk singer and songwriter whose wry wit coursed through big-hearted ballads rallying for the underdog, and whose charming onstage stories often lasted longer than the songs they introduced, died on Friday. He was 59.
Todd Snider, Folk Singer With a Wry Wit, Dies at 59
Mentored by the likes of Jimmy Buffett and John Prine, his big-hearted ballads told of heartache even as his humor revealed a steadfast optimism.

Open this photo up and look for the small, white dot just left of centre.
It looks like Venus, shining brightly in the twilight sky.

It's Earth.
From Mars.
