And then there's Todd Snider, who was all three in one, and something else entirely.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Todd Snider was one of the most beloved country-folk singers in the United States, often compared to Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, John Prine, and dozens of others. He became not only a new-century Dylan but a modern-day Will Rogers--an everyman whose intelligence, self-deprecation, experience, and sense of humor made him a uniquely American character. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In live performance, Snider's monologues were cheered as much as his songs. But never before had he told the whole story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Running the gamut from personal memoir to shaggy-dog comedy to rueful memories of his troubles and triumphs to sharp-eyed observations from years on the road, \u003ci\u003eI Never Met a Story I Didn't Like\u003c\/i\u003e is for fans of Snider's music, but also for fans of America itself: the broad, wild country that has produced figures of folk wisdom like Will Rogers, Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Tonya Harding, Garrison Keillor, and many more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Todd Snider's new book is required reading for anyone who's a fan of his left-of-center, observational style of songwriting.
