RIP Kinky

[MX]

Kinky Friedman, provocative satirist and one-time gubernatorial candidate, dies at 79

Friedman launched a boisterous campaign for governor in 2006, decades after forming the band Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys.

Bought a box of his cigars back in 2008-2009, I was not a huge fan of them, but as a native Texas I do appreciate his larger-than-life personality.

I second that.
He seemed like one of those guys that should never be taken seriously, no matter what he said.

Dang. We'll miss you, Kinky. I met him at a cigar event here when he launched those. Helluva guy.

Fare forth brightly.

I only just heard his music and saw some videos. He was definitely quite the character. RIP
