Kinky Friedman explains to The Amercans' Charlie LeDuff how amazing it is have his music connect with someone, especially when that someone is Nelson Mandela.
Sad to see him go, he is and will be a character remembered for his genuineness. Texas seems to create these folks who are able to think and do outside the norm without any hesitation or apologies.❤
I have lots of trouble Voting for either one of the "Choices" America has chosen to give us. That being said and your comment...just gave me the idea ...that I wiill write Kinky's name in as my choice. Had also thought about David Allen Coe...!!!!

Long time fan since I found a couple of his paperbacks many years ago in a used book store somewhere along the road at a west Texas Trailways smoke stop.
I read a couple of his books, they were in the bargain section of a dollar store, "detective stories" of sorts about New York City, ex-girlfriends, his cat Peaches, and drinking a lot. They weren't as bad as they may sound.
so glad my friend introduced me to kinky a real person and good to know you are out there reached me today and many roads and miles of music hope I get to see you somewhere another child of the road 6 million miles. whoo hoo hop and hollar take it as it comes
Mandella.....Mandella.....Mandella.....in prison....in prison....... interesting how no one ever speaks of the things Mandella and his Wife did. Oh no, that is off the table......Mandella.....Mandella.....Mandella.....in prison....in prison....wear the T-Shirt
Yeah, Kinky playing the minorities as almost oppressed as his Jewish tribe but not quite. They have the monopoly on tears don't you know? Sick of this kind of narrative. I know it for what it is...an anti White narrative from an ignorant and arrogant Yid.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a while, although I’m sure you say things like that all the time. But as the expression goes, ”Consider the source.”
You still owe me 150 bucks for the dinner tab you were to pick up when we went to dinner with Twink. Counting your Bush buddy INTEREST make arrangements to send a grand before P X gets here and square !

What a beautiful poignant story to go with this beautiful poignant song xo

It’s a shame they aren’t left wing anymore.
For a minute I thought this was Richard Boone.
The Jew cries out as he strikes you
Fuck you nazis POS.
Not all but ok.

@@erniebuchinski3614 that’s a centuries old polish folk saying
Totally agree...Kinky crying with hams on his back.

Marc Gottlieb I can't understand barely a single word of this post. It's very poor English writing skills.
Thank you for the words.
"my governor is kinky!"
