Comments:
Kinky, have been a fan since you performed with the Texas Jewboys a long time ago at The Quiet Knight on W. Belmont in Chicago. Have read all your books and passed along to many others. Just about finished with Spanking Watson and laughing out loud on the commuter train home. Have also had the pleasure of seeing you perform solo and met at book signings. Hey, where's the long awaited movie and when will you be back in Chicago You're a true American Legend Enjoy

I had the honour to have Kinky Friedman visiting my local bar, called Gillestugan, in Gothenburg last Saturday! Kinky and Little Jewford put on the greatest show ever! Mr. Friedman gave me a lucky plectrum with the words "Find what you like and let it kill you". So far the only thing that has happened is that my cars battery unloaded. But...maybe I would not have been here today, to tell you this if my car acctually had started. A carcrash was waiting for me downtown that raining and thundering sunday... ...of course, I was at home eating sausage when that should have happened. Thanks Kinky! :) best regards Hans Lundholm

Comments:
Loving "Spanking Watson" so far. Does it have a decent ending? That is, as opposed to your other books. Only kidding, Kinkstah!

Comments:
Hey there Kinksta, keep up the good work.

Comments:
I saw the Kinky show in Gothenburg, Sweden yesterday afternoon, and I had a great time. I loved every second of the great show. The only thing was that the show could´ve benn longer than the hour it lasted. I was going to bring one of his books to get it signed, but I accidently forgot to do so. Maybe I´ll get another chance later on. Jerker Emanuelson Sweden PS. Would´ve loved to have heard the comment Kinky might´ve had on my first name when signing the book!

I just wanted to say that I saw The Kinkster's show in Malmo (Sweden) last night and it was a great experience. An interesting remark my girlfriend made, was "he looks younger than I expected...and shorter". For me the night was just the way I expected, a entertaining mix of music, wit and wisdom! Don't miss the man if he gets to a place near you! May the Kink be with you all!

Comments:
Hi Kinky! I really enjoyed the concert in Vienna, thanks for playing the last song for me, and i hope that you will get in contact with Regula. Love, Doris

Comments:
Thank you for a good show in Malmö 21/10. Q idé & design

Comments:
having read almost all of kinky's "books" and listened to several of his cds has scarred me in the most endearing way possible: with love.

Comments:
Hi Kinky! You might remember me. I´m the guy with the lighter after your gig in Vienna/Austria. I hope you can handle it. We enjoyed this evening, and the guys from my band and myself too, we got the real Kinkymania these weeks. By the way, how about Regula from Sw tzerland? Shalom George!

Comments:
Someone in the guest book spoke about laughing out loud. I can't think of too many people who can make me do that, but already into 2nd chapter of Spanking Watson, have laughed out loud at least 3-4 times! Great writing, whether in New Yawk or Texas...won erful stuff! Will look for the "tribute CD". Somewhere back in the cobwebs I remember the Texas Jewboys..........

Comments:
someone threw away this dusty book called Roadkill...I picked it up...read it...got addicted, like u're addicted to cigars...and since then, have read all ur books after hunting down the whole of Singapore! seriously and frustratingly waiting for ur pape back on spanking watson. hardcover too expensive, lah! keep on writing, Kinkster, and I'll have more sleepless nites....

Comments:
kinksta!!!! i shook your hand last summer at the texas state book fair in austin. you signed my book. and i fell in love with your negro puppet head! your a great writer, you know how to push the humor buttons! thanks, man! i hope to smoke a cigar w th ya someday! write on!

Comments:
I discovered Kinky a couple of years ago. I love his stuff. I have his newest book but, I have not had time to read it yet.

Comments:
I'm visiting NYC soon. Has anyone put together a a Kinky city tour? For example, does the Monkey's Paw exist? If so where? Any help would be gratefully received.

Comments:
Lookin' forward to next November's show at HQ..If it comes close to your last Dublin show at 'Whelans' it'll be a hoot D

Comments:
Yo Kinkstah!!!! Thank you for Spanking Watson, never knew it would be so much fun! I love it when you make me laugh out loud ~ I never know what to expect from your books, & I was embarrassed to be seen carrying this one around (hid the cover occasional y) but that's one reason you are here, to shake up folks like me. Keep Stephanie & all the rest of the V/I's stirring things up!

Comments:
Thanks for having us over for Kent's birthday. Sorry 'bout the rug let us know if it stains. Love 'n' Luck Kent & Carol 10/17/99

Comments:
Cats and computers.... I've just spent half an hour cleaning cat fur from my mouse - this is only marginally better than cleaning mouse hair from your cat! Love your books - I've shown your piece on 'Cuddles' to every friend and lots of acquaintances - it always reduces me to a blubbering wreck.... Love from Australia.

Comments:
Liked your book man. Keep rocking.

Comments:
This is true story. Yesterday read papagraph to wife from Spanking Watson about hope that cat would get sense of humor. Apparently overheard by cat. This morning learned that cat wanted to buy family room rug as evidenced by large deposit she placed on it As I poured bourbon and cornflakes I told cat she might feel this proved sense of humor but I felt it was mean spirited. Cat said nothing .

Thanks Kinky for the hours of fun your tales have given me. Not to mention the taste for Jameson's and the occasional Romeo Y Juliette Keep em comin'

Kinkster, looking forward to seeing you perform in De Melkweg, the Netherlands. I would like to send you greetings from all the folks down in Europe. We're all really happy that you're finally performing here and hope to see some of that real Kinky-wild m n from Bornea-style boogy-ing like we did last summer.

Comments:
Yo Kinkster!! Roadkill is the greatest!! Also you web site... We live in Texas, and wondered about your music. D/loaded the WAV file "Biscuits", and upon playing it the first time, several undentified species of spider, a scorpion, and centipede made a hasty retreat from my computer mounted speakers. Loved the Music, and also highly recommend it for computer pest control. Rushing out to buy the cd for future invasions of unwanted critters.

Kinky rocks I NEED a copy of Musical Chairs please help me

you are a sick boy, keep up the interesting fiction... it's not really lateral...but entertaining...and your friends are fascinating!!

Comments:
Dear Kinky! I was very glad when I found out that you are going to perform in Gothenburg on Oct 23rd, cause that's near my home town Halmstad. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Being a musician and singer/songwriter myself I hope I will get the chance to give you a copy of my latest CD "American songs" which features a cover version of your beautiful song "Ride 'em jewboy". I actually recorded it BEFORE I ever heard of Pearls in the snow, cause it was my best friends favourite Kinkster-tune off your epic Sold American album. My album is filled with good old traditionals, a few almost unheard Dylan rarities (outtakes), and songs by Jerry Garcia, Doc Pomus, Cecil A Null, Woody Guth ie......and of course K. Friedman. Some might say it's a folk album with a country twist...but I often talk about it as a "lyrics album", because I have chosen songs with stories and not just "merry old hits". My publicist said "bad idea boy!" cause it was so utterly non commercial and too "real" and well played (these days computers run everything!!), but I wisely ignored him and did it anyway. And I am damned proud of it! Anyway, hope to meet you in Gothenburg in connection to your show... Have a nice trip to Sweden Svante

Hello again Kinkster !! Just to say sorry for missing you book signing in Atlanta, would you believe it but we had to fly out at 17.00 and you were arriving at 19.00. Untill the next time, all the best. Birkbeck, from Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Comments:
hey kinkster! I met you at a signing in london a few years back, and that night I gave you a rose when you were onstage at the covent garden roadhouse. My friends are still jealous!

I've read so far God Bless John Wayne. Really good not what I thought because of the title. And now I'm reading Frequent Flyer. I check them out at the library.

Comments:
Dear Kinky, Think of young Pia - get your arse down here. The Shipwreck Coast is clear - we have done your advance publicity and those 12 Apostles are no longer nervous. Kacey has the map of Tasmania and the epistles from Country Music Roundup and Piers old tableau the Melbourne Herald-Sun. You are still scoring airplay on the unlucky radio country's cutting edge stations PBS and Nu Country - FM. Your favorite cartoonist Fred Negro has also grown an extra inch to enable a further message on his member. Please fly down before Kerry Packer enlists Dili and Indonesia in his World Series Cricket circus. Love and other bruises. David Dawson Wasting away in Warrnambool

Hi, Kinky Been meaning to write for ages. Met you in Edinburgh in August. I am a real fan now. Just love the special pieces of dialogue with the Kinkster and the cat

Comments:
I enjoyed every one of your books. They all went too fast though. Keep em comming.

Comments:
Kinky- after a long Business trip I found "Spanking Watson" while on a vaca. on Cape Cod, It was great and reading your other books I have been laughing ever since-Great Stuff. What about finding a wacked out watson maunscript as a book idea?

Comments:
To our favorite godfathers, Kinky and McGovern. Hey, just a quick line from Down Under, thanks for the books. Max and Piers send hellos. What happened to coming down for May? See you in February? Love, Pia

Why are all my comedic heroes male chauvinist pigs, e.g., Kinky Friedman, Groucho Marx, Richard Pryor and Woody Allen? If you're ever in Raleigh, NC, we'll cook for you. Just leave the cigars outside.

Comments:
Have enjoyed your music and writings for quite sometime.....keep up goood work.....more music please.

Comments:
Contrary to Kinky's quote that "people seem to be getting more out of his writings than he's putting in" ; I'm probably getting about the same or less out them as he's putting into them. Still and always they're an enjoyable two day read and it's nice to ee a fellow Lone Star Cafe survivor with a healthy sense of humor making a living being a scamp.

Comments:
Just a short comment, I've enjoyed your music for 20+ years, both your performance and song writing. However, am embarassed to say I only recently been exposed (did I say exposed) to your talents as a novelist, thanks to Imus and MSNBC (live in San Diego Just finished "Spanking...", and can't wait to get my hands on some earlier efforts. Write on and don't let the music die! --a new fan!

Hi Kinky. We met in Stockholm spring 1998. You played some songs and read from your book Elvis, Jesus, & Coca-Cola, At a place calle Café 44. Don't know if you remember me, but you gave me you card. I play in a sort of countryband named Pony, and we've ju t made a new CD that I would like to send to you. Do you still live at the ranch in Medina? Got to tell you I like "Blast From The Past" very much, and that my friend really love when I tell them some stories from it. Right, I'll send over some Pony-songs for you. Take it easy. /Fredrik Mattsson, Stockholm e-mail: 086696427@telia.com

Kinkstah, If you ever find your travels bring you to Flagstaff, AZ (where standing on a corner is a hell of a lot better than standing on one in Windslow, regardless of the song) I'd be honored to stand you to a shot or two of Irish and a good cigar... Actually, if you ever kick off a reunion tour of the Texas Jewboys, I would hope that Flagstaff would be on the tour list... Jews are few and far between here and I suspect they might be expecting Klemzer music. My biggest gripe is that our cable system does not carry MSNBC so I can't watch you on Imus. Keep writing, no matter how much effort you feel you put into your books, this reader gets a hell of a lot out of them.

Comments:
...all of this may well cause me to convert from Southern Baptist to Judaism. Do youse jews wear pointy toe cowboy boots too? Keep up the fine prose, dewd, ya gettin up there with John Prine and early Dylan.

Saw you/McGovern/Lil "J" at the Mucky Duck...good to see you again (last time was in Bezerkly at the Longbranch when you were intro'ing Asleep @ the Wheel and we are all young, georgeous and quite stoned. You seemed pre-occupied during the show and somew at melon-collie...hope all is well at the ranch. Am mid-way into Spanking Watson, trying to hurry as many folk are waiting their turn at our newest addition to the library. Enjoy Germany, unlike your ancestors! Hope they think you are a gas.....(if not perhaps Ratso can play for them!) Will keep site on the website for other times/places to see you...Keep on puffin on your cubans and I will continue to keep the fields in Mexico clear!

loved the show at poor daves. we know their not makin jews like kinky anymore

Comments:
Just finished Spanking Watson - great stuff! Yeah Ratso's interest in Le Petomane, brilliant! I couldn't put the book down - hence read too damn quick. Hey Kinkstah - writes some longer stories.

Comments:
Terrific web site; we'll definitely check it frequently!!!

Comments:
Kinkster: Just finished chuckling my way thru "The Love Song of J. Edgar Hoover," which I picked up at Shakespeare and Company in Paris for a mere 100 francs (the Faber and Faber edition). Thought I was gonna have to hock my string bass to order the rest of your o uvre, but now it looks like I might be able to get 'em over the Internet (when I'm not busy debating who was the best Captain in Star Trek). Please say it is so. Yours, Bob Wills (no, not that Bob Wills)

Dear Kinky, Saw you at the Mucky Duck in Houston, Texas, Sept 14, 1999. It was so good seeing you. I am 37 and I grew up listening to you as a teenager. My parents played you music all the time. One of my favorite memories is driving through Texas hill country headed for Luchenbach or Bandera to a chili cookoff with Kinky Friedman on the tape player. My sister, brother and I knew all your songs by heart. When we heard you coming to the Duck, My mom, sister and I just had to come see you. It was wonderful. Brought back lo s of memories. Thanks Kinky for coming to "The Duck". Hope you come there again if you do, I will be there ~~~~~~ Laura

Wonderful "stuff" Monday evening at Poor Davids... I will treasure my guitar pick from your front pocket. Anything else of interest in there for me? Come on over to my email box, big boy. Best, Olivia

Greetings Kinkstah! The only additional thing we need from you or whomever is the early works to be in print again. I've lent my old paperbacks out and, you know, they disappear! I feel weak without them, yet noble for doing my part to spread the woid!

I still like to apply for the job as tour director/mother/whatever you require when you tour europe this fall. I feel I can offer a well organized brain, ability to handle people from all cultures,able to find late night food and refreshment. I can also d ive on both sides of the road. Previous experience includes moving and living sucessfully with 2 teenage boys overseas in Ireland for the last 2 1/2 yrs. Alsao organized trips to France Spain and Germany while I was in Ireland. I can speak a little french but am able to converse with Europeans who don't like to speak or understand English. I like music. I like Kinky and I enjoyed meeting Little Jewford and Mike tonight at the concert in Dallas at Poor David's. Thanks for a great time. A bientot!! Does bein born in Newwww York City help my cause?

I met you once at LaHacienda in kerrville. (1995) I think you were helping some girl out. I admired that about you. I could see the compassion on your face. You were talking to Carl who introduced me to you. I am a fan. I would like to hear back from yo over e-mail. That would be a great thrill. Tell me a little about your Saturday Night Live appearance. Why don't you mention it on your web site? I think people would be interested. Chris Farrell Austin, Texas

Kinky, Just a note to thank you for some great books. I have been a fan of yours for a while now and I caught your show last year in Whelans in Dublin - my friends and I were talking about it for weeks afterwards. I always enjoy rereading your books - they are helping to bring a smile to my face after some very difficult times. I am looking forward to your return to Ireland in November, see you then, Dearbhaile.

Around about 4 years ago I was busking In Liverpool, England on my tin whistle with a borrowed dog and doing my usual bad performance, when I see a guy coming down the road in the full hat and cigar etc. get up. Eventually the guy gave me £10 and tickets o his gig. So that was cool. Now I live in Brighton, England and could do with another tenner. Any chance..Still can't play...

Comments:
Recently became a fan of yours and have read all your books todate. Thought you were getting a little burnt out on Blast From the Past but maybe I'm just jaded. I did buy Spanking Watson yesterday and Pearls in the Snow today. I have several friends wh have heard of you for years.

Comments:
Always glad to see you on the Imus show.

Comments:
thanks for getting Spanking Watson on my doorstep BEFORE I had to return to my job in education. Pre Labor Day release made the kinky experience all the more enjoyable!

Comments:
An acquaintance of mine, who prides himself on shocking people thought it would be humorous to make an anti-Semetic remark about my attorney. I avenged that remark by forcing him to listen to Pearls in the Snow. I thought that you'd like to show up on his doorstep some night and sing a couple choruses of "They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore."

hey kinksta, i love your books, i even have my dad reading them and he loves them too. i truly believe you're not the cynical prick you make yourself out to be.

Kinkstah!! saw you in Bandera last night(9-2-99). awesome!! bought your book, you signed it, met McGovern(he really exists!!)copped a buzz, buzzed a cop. A wonderfully complete evening!! I was(am)Richard Frumkin, the guy that, as you so eloquently put it(paraphrased of course),had to wait a "long time between dreams" Thanx again, R.M.Frumkin

Comments:
Read Kinky Friedman and half way through More Kinky Friedman. Fantastic stories, good plots, plausible characters in gritty New York style. Some of the references to things like Imus in the morning etc are lost on this Aussie, but just caught the offi ial web site. Keep up the good work. All the best from Sydney. I'm sure Piers would say hello.

Kinky, I must admit that no matter what mood I am in, if I read one of your books, I am sure to find a smile. Thank you for being so good at being so "Kinky". Keep up the good work.
