Music Friday: "America's Favorite Pastime" & "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues"

It's another week, and another great musician put out a new album. The incomparable Todd Snider released The Excitement Plan.

Click HERE to watch Snider play a track from his new album, titled "America's Favorite Pastime," in some hotel room with Don Was nodding along with the song. The tune recounts Dock Ellis's no-hitter in 1970 for the Pirates, a no-hitter he threw under the influence of LSD, which he admitted to doing in 1984.

And for more fun, click HERE to watch Snider talk about an encounter with Slash and sing one of the songs he's more famous for.

Since it's baseball season and the first song is about baseball, as Ernie Banks was fond of saying, "Let's play two."
