  • Kinky Friedman

    Kinky Friedman has made a career out of offending people. With his band, the Texas Jewboys, he toured the country performing classics like “They Ain’t Makin Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed,” before turning his hand to writing bestselling novels like Elvis, Jesus and Coca-Cola, Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned, and Roadkill. His mysteries feature a country-singer-turned-detective named (surprise!) Kinky Friedman, who seems to spend more time drinking, doing drugs and chasing women than solving crimes. Let’s find out what outrageous items jump out of his Survival Kit.

His List: 1. large supply of Cuban cigars 2. matches/borrow Willie's old guitar 3. Kona coffee 4. case of tequila, salt, limes 5. poems of Charles Bukowski, Emily Dickinson, complete works of Oscar Wilde 6.Smith-Corona typewriter, extra cartridge, paper 7. Mozart 8. Hank Williams
