Great finding your web site. Just finished reading "Armadillo's and Old Lace" and "Elvis, Jesus, and Coca-cola". Look forward to more mysteries. Going to look for some of your Texas Jew Boy albums or this anthology.

Hey Kinky...Just a "sperm of the moment" message...Sold American is a blast...from the past...just got Lasso from ElPasso...Enjoy your work...

Kinky....we need your help and support....our community just experienced 3 arson/hate crimes at 3 synagogues {in addition to several church burnings, leaflets in the past years)...your significant visibility would help us if you could do a fundraiser for s (with all your costs covered by the event)...We have a "Western" town too! P L E A S E consider joning us in our healing process, we're about to open up a Museum of [Tolerance]Understanding and Learning...Shalom, Thanks bubbe, Margi

Thanks for stepping up to the plate and helping Dolly your to be commended

I've been Kinky-ised! What a unique perspective the Kinkster has on life. And lobotomies.

* You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't wipe your nose on your saddle * attr. Kinky Friedman Is this really a Kinky quote

Comments:
Your books rock! Thank you for writing them!

Comments:
Why aren't there more writers like you out there? I appreciate your perspective on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Do you still own that trailer in Texas? How are the cats? I love your British burgler friend. Keep up the good work.

There's still a lot of Eagle Scouts around!

I felt I was trapped in a spiraling carousel of death as read your book. Again.

Comments:
Dear Cousin Harry...tell Kinky I'm in the midst of blast from the past and digging it. The Kinkstah IS the antidote to Y2K blues, and is the voice of the post '60's beat cowboy in us all. Long Live the Kinkstah!!

Comments:
Kinkster, I like the web site. Read "Road Kill", then all the other of your books that the local Library had. Now I'm reading the ones they don't have through Interlibrary Loan. What can I say? I'm a cheap bastard! I've got to save my money for my cigars. Keep the books coming. The only good thing to come out of NYC except for..., I can't think of anything. ED

Comments:
As a 100% bona fide Echo Hill Rancher from the '80s, I'm moved to tears by the sweet sounds of "Old Man Lucas" and memories of climbing the Hill early in the morning to beat flag raising. Not to mention Louise's fried chicken. I'd love to track down fel ow nostalgic Ranchers living in the NYC area.

Comments:
Have been a fan since I discovered Greenwich Killing Time. Have worked in a bookstore since 1978 and have sent lots of readers down the Kinky path. Just bought Pearls In The Snow and like it a lot, but the originals are still the best! Glad lots of th m are on cd now.

Comments:
My husband was jealous of the laughs I got from Kinky until I gave him a book and he nearly wet the bed. Thanks Kinky for the renewal of the values I always had and thought I had lost.

Comments:
Dera Mr. Friedman, Thanks for your twisted scribblings — they've been a delight to me as I rip through the pages at 3:00 a.m. accompanied by my dog, Aggie, and our recently arrived cat, Princess Warrior the Rezcat. I work nights as a copy editor at the area's weekly and whe I arrive home the fam (wifey-woo Ann Marie and bionic 5-year-old son, Chris) is a-snoring. My life, I've discovered at 45, has come down to pleasing family and pets. And providing snacks. I will recommend your books to my 26-year-old son, Sean, a veterinarian who lives in Minneapolis, who several years ago converted to Judaism. I'm sure it will create a severe setback in our relationship. Thanks you again. Steve Jahrling, Waterflow, N.M. p.s. Thanks for the lore on the KF Plectrum — i play guitar some in a nonthreatening manner and i personally like the Dunlop Big Stubby picks in 3.0 mm — they're like plastic rocks and lend to a fat tone, but to each his own.

Comments:
Kinky, this is a message all the way from good old Blighty (England). I discovered you only 2 months and ago and I have been addicted ever since. My shelves are stuffed with your books. You are "killer bee" yourself. Keep on rockin' Kinkster, from an insp red crime writer, keep a look out for me!!!

Comments:
Kinky: Loved all your books. Keep on crankin'em out! If you ever get a gig at Milwaukee's Summerfest, I'm sure we'd all love to come out and see you!

Comments:
Old time fan from my days in Buchanan Dam, where I struggled as an actress/writer, and you were my inspiration. Probably why I'm a high school history teacher now...Love your music, mysteries, and Texas lore. My cats say howdy y'all

For tha Kinkstah, from one fine American to another: "Polarpussy's a fantastic creature; Dark, and covered with hair. It looks like the face of a preacher And smells like the ass of a bear. Ah, the nights; ah, the nights Ah, them long dark winter nights.... We romped and rolled in the Northern Lights Till the ice thawed from beneath us.

I think that Kinky is Chevy Chase in mustache and dark hair. Look at the pictures. You never see them together, They're both weird. Or does everyone already know this? Ben

Kinkster! Down here in Kerrville we think you hung the moon dude. In one weekend you helped us out with not one but two benefits - the Arcadia Theater and The Melody Coroner Tax Benefit. I'm also grateful that you solved the Elebracht mystery and brought them hippie-torturing, goat "knowing (Biblical)" knights of the crimson necks to justice. It shall remain our secret. Again Kinky we appreciate all your help down here in Cowtown. See you at the Festival and the June 12th Benefit for Melody Corner (local music store in Kerrville under tax lien) -Greg Forest, Dime A Dozen musicoffice.com

Kinky, I know Rambam personally, but if you tell anybody.... you know the rest. He is the reason I am in the pi business. Your books and love of animals, particularly cats are the reason I stay in the business. My cats sit on my desk, on top of the computer, or n my lap all day. We live in San Antonio and would love to see you when you are in town. Please say Hi to Rambam if you talk to him and please continue the good work. I have read all your books and truthfully have enjoyed them all (particularly Elvis, Jesus & Coca-Cola. Ra bam knows why I am partial to that title.)

Hey Kinkster, when are you going to do a book launch or show Down Under. And if you do come on down, bring ratso with you, Lots of dead peoples shoes for him to collect. And bring Stephanie Dupont with you too. regards from down under

Comments:
I think there is a little bit of the ole Kinkstah in all of us, at least in our dreams I think. Happy trails to you an yours.

Comments:
I think that Kinky and the aging comic, Chevy Chase are one and the same person. Look at the pictures: without the mustache and dark hair, with thinning grey hair, it's Chevy. You never see them together, never hear a denial. They're both weird. Look at t e knowing, smart-ass eyes. I think I'm on to something here. Or does everybody already know? Old Benjamin

Kinky, you're my hero

I'm a (new) huge fan - Kinky, you're my hero!

I think Kinky and aging comedian Chevy Chase are the same person. Look at the pictures. Take away the mustache and dark hair and think of Chase's thining grey hair. It's him! Never see them together. Both weird. Both cranky. Could be. Oe does everybody already know this?

I was a regular in the early 80's at the Lone Star Cafe (on Sunday Nights)to see 'The Sons of Masada' play, and to have a Kinky experience. Have been a fan ever since from my current locale in Portland, OR. Even seen him here twice (in 13 years), He doesn t tour much nowadays.

Just like to say thanks for a fantastic evening in the Jazz cafe - London...When I got home the cat didn't believe I'd lit your cigar...but appreciated the autographed book all the same.. Cheers Keep amusing !

Comments:
Dear Kinky, Your books remind me somewhat of the works of Damon Runyon. The characters are rich and jump out of the pages at you - pretty soon you feel at home with them all etc. Have you read Runyon and did he inspire your approach at all? By the way, h ve you recently been in Melbourne Australia - I heard a rumour that you had been here and was p'd off to have missed the opportunity to see you in whatever it was you were doing here. Regardless, thanks for the pleasure you have given me through your bo ks....Ronit

Hey Kingster! Just visited with LeeRoy and James and we talked about "Pearls in the Snow" ...I got it and it sure brings back old times...GOOD STUFF! Fancy Space (Honorary Jewboy...1975)

Comments:
A prudish, old-fashioned old lady, I amaze myself by thoroughly enjoying your zany books. I think it's because you're truly funny, not just crude. As a singer, you make a better writer, but I printed off all your songs, anyway. You're kinky, I'm kooky. Keep entertaining us & thanks for loving animals. My e-mail name is one of my cats. Check out my web page of animals.

Comments:
Just looking for some answers on the kinkster's web page... but, like the women, some come fast and some come slow. Some don't come at all. Good to know the next novel's on the way and that more music's heading our way.

Comments:
Dear Kinky, My pals and I here in Nashville are way past ready for a new book.I have a song that you may want to hear/do.It was written and demoed way before the Clinton scandal and it is too late to capitalize on that,but its called"Eatin'Ain't Cheatin "

Comments:
Kinky, You'd be more famous if you had three names, eg 'Kinky Allen Friedman', Kinky Ray Friedman', Kinky Willis Friedman', ect. That's why Steven Fromholz isn't known outside of Dripping Springs, he's only got two names.

Hey Tompall wants to send this message: "I NEVER SOUNDED BETTER".

I found your books at a jumble sale in Charlton (London) i paid 10p each for the two compilation books! - brilliant. Havent read the latest one yet, i am saving it till after my exams when i will lie on a beach somewhere and read it!!! I was hoping t at your recent trip to London might inspire a new story`! If you want a new character i'd be happy to oblidge! be happy! Lottie xxxx

I'm reading More Kinky Friedman at the moment and enjoying it lots and lots. When will you be touring England next with your band? Keep up the good work Kingster and keep them cats in their place.

I have been infected!!! My boss Gene Carpenter, father of your friend Kinky, told me so much about your books, that I bought some, read them and felt foolish rolling around with laughter all by myself. My cat said nothing, LOL. Then Gene brought me a book on tape narraited by you, and am enjoying it while I drive, though the other drivers must want to know what I'm on as I giggle down the highway. Am in hopes that the next time you are out in Southern California I will have a chance to see you, missed you at the book signing the Book Carnival in Santa Ana, though they told me about the cat show you attended while signing "While the cats away", which is the one I am reading now. Am looking forward to reviewing the rest of your website, but just wanted to le you know how much I have enjoied your books, etc. (your very sexy voice)!!! Joel

You're a national treasure, Kinkster--keep 'em coming! (Words and music) It's kinda hard to explain you in Winnemucca, Nv, tho, most of the local Basques have never even seen a real Jew, let alone a country singin', mystery writin', cigar smokin', one! If yr ever in the neighborhood, I'll spring for the Jameson's--we can scare the natives. Cheers

Comments:
Saw the Kinkstah at the jazz cafe in London and was without a doubt the best show i've ever seen. Ride on Jew boy!

Hi Kinky, missed you last saturday in Cologne! I hope you're well so that you can come back soon. Greeting from Wilfried Lücker

Comments:
I've been a huge fan since hearing "The Ballad of Charles Whitman" on the National Lampoon Radio Hour back in the early 70s (the "Laughs From The Past" segment). It was a real highlight to catch your performance and book signing at the Cinegrill in the H llywood Roosevelt Hotel a few years back. I was jazzed that Van Dyke Parks got on stage with you. Your lucky guitar pick really worked! Nothing bad happened to me for 48 hours afterward. At that particular point in my life, that counted as good luck! I l ok forward to hearing the new CD. I think I've never heard a better country song than "Western Union Wire". Keep the great books coming!

Comments:
'Just got "Pearls..." Great job! Johnny Marks is an old friend and a whiz.

Comments:
G'Day from "Down-Under" Kinky, I missed your last visit, when will we see you again? Last time I was In NY City I walked all round Van Dam St/Canal st and felt as if I had been there before, keep those books coming. All the Best.

The Kinkster rides again!!! I remember recording radio spots for a Kinky Friedman show at KOKE-FM in Austin in 1981. While attending the show and visiting with Kinky back stage after the first set I asked Kinky if he considered himself a Texas, Country Je ish Frank Zappa. He loved it, I thought he would crush his cigar he slpapped his thigh so hard.

The Honorable Kinkster--Many thanks to The I-Man for having you on his show shortly after I first started listening to him 5 years ago. Since then I've tried to catch you every time I could. You are without a doubt one of the most clever lyricists to ev r drink beer and pee in a fire. Keep up the good work and where can I get a of your song lyrics, especially "A--hole From El Paso". Thanx. A true fan Ben Hill

I,ve been a fan since 76 was out of the country when you played in London last time so hoping to catch you this time
