RIP Kinky Friedman


Recommended Posts

Confession:  I have never heard of this guy!  And, no, I don't mean I've vaguely heard the name but know of nothing he's done, I mean I've never even heard the name before this thread!  Other Friedman's like Marty, yes, but not this guy.  RIP none-the-less!

I can't post any of his songs. He was a bit vulgar, but misunderstood. A lot of people took his songs as racist, but they were actually anti-racist.

He played with all the big names back in the day. Dylan, Nelson, and many others. He also ran for political office.

He was a very unique individual.

He wrote some serious music too.  He also played with George Harrison. Here is one of his songs.
