I just picked up my first Kinky book, "Armadillos & Old Lace" as suggested by a friend. Love it! Elmore Leonard meets Henny Youngman. The only problem I have is that it took me this long to find out about the Kinkstah.

Comments:
Kinky, I have a confession to make...although I have loved you for many a Texas moon, for some stupid reason waited until today to buy one of your books (J. Edgar...) Please forgive me. We have loved your music for close to 20 years and many of your song have always been "traveling music" while we drove the six hours to get to the Frio River each summer. My husband and I always thought it was kinda cute, in a sick and perverted way, to hear our 7 year old sing "Waitret, O Waitret". But my husband and I have decided we get too embarrassed to hear him sing it now...he's 16. Thanks for all the laughs!

Big Texas Jewish fan from way back. Had dinner this past Friday night with your cousin, Steve Sammet and his wife Loni in San Antonio. Any word on new musical releases? Keep up the Great Work! Les Norton

Hey Kinky ... I am a fan from the old days ... say you play in Hollywood and Huntington Beach ... I've even sat on your old black cad ... "The Jew Canoe" ... brought you a six pack of Lone Star long necks when it was against the law to transport from Texa to California ... but I felt you needed it ... and we sat and drank on together .... the point is ... I really need the chords to your songs ....I am getting on in years and I play the guitar and sing for my grandchildern, their education and my song lis are lacking because I don't know and can't find the cords to your songs ..... can you put that on your sight or any suggestions ... you should make a song book and sell them ..... to sort of quote one of my favorite authors .."It would be a realllllllll inancial pleasure!!!" Thanks so much ... and thanks for all the memorys.. Tim Durkin

I have been a fan since the days at the Ranch 38 years ago. I have enjoyed your Music, Books and the short visits when your in Big D. Regards, Joel

keep on writin' and smiokin',kinky, and callin' in it as you see it! fan in waco tx

Comments:
Not everybody cares...Tries...or gets it. But a good read is about as hard to find as a normal cat. It amazes me that these super stores like Barnes & Noble & Bookstop have 1 or 2 titles by you and 20 books on Princess Di. Put the Kinkster on the case! I need to go online to get my hands on most of your titles. Computers can be good for something. Ramabam a ding dong. Thanks for the words!

Comments:
Hey Kinkster, is it true you might be in L. A. in August, and did you, in fact, make a three-way phone call today with your friend's assistant, MeMe? Cause if it's true, that's the only way I'm going to that crazy woman's party...so you goin' or what?

Kinky, Steal this book!!!!!!!

I'm a big fan of all the Kinkster's books. Can't wait for the new ones to come out so I keep reading the old ones over again!

I first became enlightened by the Kinksta nearly ten years ago. At the time, I was tooling along the New Jersey Turnpike at the helm of a friend's brand new Saab Turbo 900, challenging the locally posted speed limits. As fate would have it, the state poli e were more than up to the challenge and they politely asked if I would "just pull 'er over to the side of the road, please." Well, this tragic turn of events was short lived. For you see, I neglected to discharge the cassette tape that had been entertain ng us with the rollicking sounds of " Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys ". When the good officer bent down to check my credentials, he was intrigued by the music we were playing...a little to loudly. At any rate, we discussed a little music... he proc aimed in good faith that he liked what he heard, and we all hailed Bruce Springsteen as " THE BOSS ", and the guy let me go! So thanks, Kinky. Not only has your work ( including books ) brought me many hours of pleasure, but it saved me 200 bucks as well. . oh, one other thing. I teach an A.P. sophomore English class, and I suggested to one of my more illumined students that he might enjoy reading one of your books this summer. He asked," what kind of writer is Kinky Friedman?"...How do I answer that???< r> 

Comments:
Just finished my 3rd book and went right into my 4th. Thank God I had a spare! Plan an emergency trip to the bookstore tonight.... Love them...keep them coming...Thanks!

Comments:
Kinkster! Read em all, would like to know when a movie will be out, it's a natural. If you want to break a leg comon out to Aspen, /Doc.

Read all your books and heard lots of music(?). Waitret o Waitret is personal favorite. Would like to see you perform live.

Comments:
I hung around for two hours to get the last two tickets for the London Borderline gig on July 4th - I'm so glad I did - what an excellent time... Thanks for having me! Siobhan

Comments:
Thank you for being an American! Did the lights once or twice for Kinky at Fitzgerald's in Houston, back when dogs could talk.

Comments:
Have followed your (career?)mostly by way of Imus.You should ask him why the "I-baby" wasn"t given "Kinky" for a middle name. It is the least he could do!!Keep up the delightful stuff.

Comments:
great site I saw Kinky play whelans bar Ireland on 1-7-98 he had about 5 encores

Comments:
Hey! I caught the Kinkster at the Borderline in London last night. The place was wild!...and now I'm the proud owner of a Lucky Plectrum -- the one used by Hank Williams when he recorded "Kawliga". I'm waiting for my share of good luck!

Comments:
Dear Kinkster, Hows the movie goin! Our mutual friend Ned Sublet i hope is being helpful. I am the guy that got you the t-shirt at the gig with the lost remainders. Still keep your phone number in my wallet. The book with Willie was excellent as usual. Give me a line when you can. Go with God!, Big Dave

Comments:
Cousin Harry, I got my lucky plectrum in Preston. The MAN was brilliant! Tell him he has given me nearly as much pleasure as the guy with the camera, and he is REALLY good. From Preston Judy in the red brontos.

The Kinkstah hits the Big Smoke for Independance day - nah not a cigar, the Texas Jewboy is playing London! England that is. Good Luck & don't stop writing. The many englishisms in the books are well appreciated. Cheers!

Comments:
I´ve read all the wonderfull stories written by the Kinkster as Ratso would have said. I enjoy every one very much and I´m looking forward for more high quality entertainment. Some of the bocks were hard to find in Sweden so I had to purchase them by mail from the good ol´US I´m signing off with a smile on my lips whilst thinking off the next novell to appear in the stands soon I hope.

Comments:
Your books are great. CD's....need more. And please come to Reno for a concert.

Comments:
Have all your books; love all your books; loaned most of your books to friends who didn't have the good taste to already know you (except the one you graciously autographed!). Born Californian, adopted Texan; love the countryside around your home!!! Keep writin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards to Richard from Big E, longtime rancher and counselor

Comments:
Hi Kinky, Just got home from the radio station and thought I'd zap you just to say thanks for a fun interview. It was a pleasure to finally meet you. Derek Nally told me after you left that,judging by the advance sales,Whelan's was looking like a sell-out.Nice one.......Looking forward to reading the books when they arrive...Cheers,Mike.

Saw the Kinkster's show in Oslo on 26 th of june. The consert was in a shitty place called Mars, and the Kinkster himself was not to pleased about it. He was specally unhappy about the fact that the management had placed all the stools and tables in back of emormous room. Well, we took care of that, we just the tables up front of the scene. And all though the consert should have drawn more people, it became an intimate and happy evening. The Kinkster was funny as he always is, he even had some new jokes, and his version of Wild Man from Borneo was r ally totching (did I spell that wright?). He did 3 encores, and spent a lot of time with the audience afterwards, signing autographs and handing out lucky plectrums. His guitarplaying may be a bit on the weird side, but Kinky Friedman is one of the great entertainers of our time. I will guard my ucky plectrum with my life! Dag

Comments:
Nostril '68. Still got my copies of Rokok-Rolok. Now how many in this world can say THAT? Keep that stuff coming... and DO get a book started that tells about the Wild East, 67-69.

Comments:
Kinky's an American renaissance man, songwriter, humorist, stylist, one of the most pleasurable reads to come along in ages. Carl Hiassen has formidable competition, and so do other authors. The music within would be welcome should more appear. Dan Hicks is still cranking it out, even though Michael Bloomfield has long passed on. Thanks.

Comments:
I've read all of Kinky's books. And my husband has an ancient copied cassette of Kinky tunes. We've been Kinky fans a long time. (And we like Kinky Friedman, too...)

Comments:
Kinky,you`re absolutely unbelievable! I dunno what it is that you have going around your head,but it is definately happening!!!

Comments:
Kinky, YOU`RE THE GREATEST!!!! We all love your books and your music. Everybody here will try to see the shows in Berlin. Hopefully there will be more shows, books and albums in Germany soon. ALL THE BEST... thomas

Comments:
Kinky, Start playing in Noo Yawk again pleeeease!! I miss the old days at the Lone Star.

Comments:
Kinky, I love your books and your music too. Would you ever consider doing any shows in Connecticut, or even visiting? I never smoked a cigar until after I read you. Good thing it's now fashionable for young ladies to smoke cigars. Guess Dr. Freud was right. Waiting for the next book. Tami.

Jefferson Freedom Cafe in Ft. Worth, Texas - anyone wishing Kinky would come grace our stage for an evening of the readed word, say "Aye-i-i-i-" so that when I approach him about it he can't say no. This is Ft. Worth's version of Uncle Calvin's. JFC benef ts some good charities, & we'd all love for Kinky to do a show here! Campaign Begins!

The Kinkster rocks. He RULES. Ok, that's it.

Comments:
Have all your books and CDs. A friend even gave me his "Lasso from El Passo" LP. Hope you come to Southern California soon, specifically, Orange County.

Comments:
Finally found the words to some songs from "Sold American" that I have been puzzling over for years, but also I think the transcription of some words are incorrect as well. Like in "The Ballad of Charles Whitman", in the second verse, it should be "The C ancellor cried, "It's adolescent...", not ""The chance turned right..." Anyway, thanks for the memory refresher! Pat

Comments:
It was a very pleasant experience talking with you today outside of Pampell's. I thought that we were going to be deprived of "Kinky sightings" for most of the summer, due to your hectic schedule. Enjoy your European tour in good health. You're one of the few authors whose books make me laugh out loud. Thank you. Peggy (originally from Baltimore, now a Kerrvert!)

Comments:
When are you coming to Chicago again, Kinkstuh?!

Comments:
Kinky! I missed your last appearance in Sweden. I didn't know you were here 'til I saw you in the street. Then I was to surprised to react. I was thrilled to see that you're coming to Stockholm on June 28th. Will you be handing out those lucky rectums? /ferenc

Comments:
Kinky, Love your books. Think you would be just great to talk to - although I did see an interview with you and you were a little 'weird'. Hope to catch you next time you come to Aus.

Comments:
Howdy Kinky, Wanted to say thanks again for signin' my copy of Road Kill in LA last October and to tell ya that I have been able to locate one of your older albums in CD format (replacin' all those wore out vinyls!!) and havin' folks at work shriek when they hear some of your great hits like Popeye the Sailor Man, Homo Erectus & They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore. (They are politically incorrect, like I care!) I also love all your books! Gloria Lynn

Comments:
You make me laugh!

I hope to meet you some day because any friend of Steve Rambam is a friend of mine. When are you going to finally get over to Israel and see the Jewish State?

Comments:

Comments:
Dear Kinky: I've enjoyed each of your books over the past few years. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I never listened to your music back when you were recording it (although I have lately). The Ballad of Charles Whitman, They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymor , and We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service to You are my favorites. I was also pleased to find out that there really is a Steve Rambam (I actually thought about your books when one of the teachers was quoting Maimonides at my kids' school last week). Anyway, keep the books coming - I can't imagine anything funnier for American people born between about 1940 and 1958.

Comments:
Da kinkstah on da web! At last. Keep those one-liners coming. But - like, next time make up a plot, huh? XX You're the funniest.

Kinky, my dad, Ken Wendland(Secret Service, Lone Star Beer) says he knows you. When are you going to be around Houston or Austin.

Comments:
If Dolly Parton married Tony Lama, she'd be Dolly Lama. Wouldn't Porter have a fit? I'm waiting for a new Western starring Kinky and Pamela Lee Anderson . As a title, does "The Hose Whisperer" work for you?

Comments:
Big fan and enjoyer of the books. Keep up the good work! I look forward to more great books!

I've been a fan of Kinky's music - and more recently, his novels - since I was about 12. My dad - who was fortunate enough to have visisted Pampells in Kerville, Texas a couple of years back - introduced me to his albums from such an early age, and I hav been an admirer ,of a man who I believe to be one of the greatest living wordsmiths alive, ever since. Long live the Wild Man from Borneo.......
