Daniel Robert Epstein: Kinky Friedman

DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN: Kinky Friedman

Though Kinky Friedman was born in Chicago everyone knows he has the heart of a Texan. Friedman first came to notice as a musician with the Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys which created satirical country music. Soon Friedman brought his satire up to a new level with his novels using a fictionalized version of himself as a private detective solving crimes in New York City. Friedman’s most recent bid came as he ran for governor of Texas this past midterm election which he lost to Rick Perry.



Right...

If this guy had won governor, I would've considered moving back to TX. Kinky is the shit!!!!!!!!!!

Long live Kinky!

I took some shit from my poli-sci professor and one of my cousins for openly admitting to voting for Kinky, but I stood by my man.


Kinky Rocks!

i love kinky. So, so much. texas could have used him!

I so hoped he would have won

I voted for him and if he runs again I will vote for him then too. Although I think he has a much better chance becoming Mayor of Austin.

I'm still bummed out that he didn't win.

I voted for Republicans or Libertarians, withthe exception of governor.

As Kinky asked, "How hard can it be?"

What was his paln to be Rick Perry? "For what?"

How about Cindy Shehan and Camp Casey? "They might want to get ouut of there before hunting season starts."

War in Iraq? "I was talking with Willie Nelson about it. I said he was evil and a bully and we had to go in and take care of it. Willie siad 'No, he's our presdiendt, and we have to support him.'"

We'll take our Kinky message
Across this blessed land
We'll save ourselves for Kinky
And united we will stand.

We can't do worse than these folks
Let Kinky have a shot
Why should he be governor?
Why the hell not!

I so voted for kinky!!!!!

God Bless Kinky. I voted for him.

Love the Kinkster.

an awesome interview, with an awesome man.

I'd have to agree with hadees there. If he lived in Austin he could become mayor at the drop of a cowboy hat. I voted for Kinky. Oh well. Maybe I should start writing in his name for elections from now on?

If I was sill living in Austin, I would have voted for him! I was lucky enough to meet the man when I worked for the Austin Music Network. He performed on our network. Great guy and very funny.

Kinky Friedman used to date Twink Caplan (the lady who played "Miss Geist" in "Clueless.") My mom was friends with her - they used to work at the same radio station together. I have to tell her about this interview.

I am clamoring for another mystery novel.

I hope he continues writing. My ex read every word that fell from Kinky's pen. After she gave me great head, and eithr orgasmed or pretended too on the second round, she would read everything in sight including all of kinky's books. I knew our relationship was doomed and I used to get images in my head of her cheating on me with his 62 year old ass. If she is reading this... which I'm sure she is...cause she likes to look at hot chicks... she knows I'm talking about her.

I think a bout with Kinky would put her back on men for sure. And after some of the twists of logic hinted at in this artical...now that I've moved on from her I think I'll be reading me some Kinky Freedman too.

Although your Jewboy locks will never put me on to men.

Daudi e Cinza

II still have not read any of his books but I love his music.

I'm a little sad that he's not thinking about running again. He was so different than the same cookie-cutter bullshit we're always spoonfed. I don't think we just need him, I hope that his candor and humor will bring forth(or back) more of his ilk.

He should run again. He could use he experience from his first campaign to bolster a second one. People liked him, if he were to run again, I say there's a good chance he'd win. Don't give up Kinky!
