Todd Snider - America’s Favorite Pastime

I can’t think of an artist more fit to write about Dock Ellis, who threw a no-hitter while on LSD than Todd Snider. From his new record The Excitement Plan, which is masterfully produced by Don Was, Todd wraps this story around a perfectly edited refrain that insists that things aren’t always as they seem.

Also, check the recent NYT article about Todd, and understand more about why this song is so fitting.
