The Kinky Cowboy Way


A piece on Texas musician/politician Kinky Friedman from Bloomberg News:
Richard “Kinky” Friedman, the country singer and detective novelist who has twice run for Texas governor, says he’s through with politics.

“It’s finally dawned on me that it’s a far better thing to be a musician than it is to be a politician,” Friedman says, smoking an ever-present cigar at his ranch about an hour’s drive from San Antonio. “If you’ve ever been in a room with a bunch of musicians, they’re decent people. And you can’t say that about politicians.”
