Kinky Friedman Comes Home

I got a present from my brother-in-law out of the blue yesterday, Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys. One of the few songs that I feel comfortable sharing with anyone is the following. Kinky is one of my favorite mystery writers. He has a very outrageous, funny, politically incorrect, and insightful style. He is someone who I would vote for president!

Men's Room, LA

I saw a picture yesterday
In a men's room near L.A.
Lying on the floor beside the throne.
Had I not recognized the cross
I might have failed to know the boss,
I thought, "Lord, you look neglected and alone."

I picked it up with lovin' care,
I wondered who had placed it there,
When l saw there was no paper on the roll.
I said, "Lord, what would you do
If you were me and I was you,
Take a chance, save your pants or your soul?"

Then a voice said,
"Kinky, it's Jesus here, you know that I ain't no square.
Well, I've got these pictures of me,
I mean statues, you know they're everywhere.
Well, I may seem I come from Liverpool,
And then on the other hand I may come from France,
But if you don't get off that toilet, well I'm just gonna have to dance."

I saw a picture yesterday in a men's room near L.A.

Comments:
He is one of my guilty indulgences. When I get stuck in a reading funk, he always gets me out.
 
Egads, that Kinky, he's funny.
 
You should read some of his mystries. Amazing!
 
Kinky is not on the ballot!

Crying shame.
 
I don't think Kinky is the devil!
 
Aren't you aware that the Kinkster is running for governor of the Lone Star State? Check out his website:
