Kinky Friedman running for Gov. of Texas, Kinky Friedman and the Texas...

[oscarguy]

Jew Boys is a were are? a talented singer and group. They used to be very popular especially in Texas. He is a far out guy and I hope he wins. His website is at: < http://www.kinkyfriedman.com >. It will be interesting to see if his candidacy goes anywhere. That wrestler Jesse Ventura did win The Gov. of Minnesota a few years back as a independent, who knows, maybe Kinky can do it in Texas. ...Oscar

1. His petition drive to get on the ballot

is partially funded by Republicans. A four-way race will ensure that Perry wins again. Kinky is only a spoiler in this race.

2. You may right about this. I had not considered that possibity.

We don`t need another Nader throwing an election to the Republicans. Thanks for the tip. ...Oscar

17. That was something I read in the Texas forum

While I like Kinky nad have been tempted to vote for him myself, I think a real Democrat is better. The problem is name recognition. Less than a couple of weeks from the primary and I have heard very little from either Bell or Gammage. What gives with that? It concerns me. Of course any democrat is bound to be better than Perry.

3. I hope he DOSEN'T win...

He hasn't voted ( except ONCE ) in the last 20 years.

He is like a NADER, I hope he dosen't even get on the ballot, we need a experienced person, not Kinky!

6. Hi Texasgal, I am convinced you are right, I still like his songs, that...

does not qualify him to be Governor of course. Oh well, I am sorry I started this post. Jesse Ventura did not make a very good Gov. of Minnesota from what I have heard. Couldn`t be bothered with doing the job and preferred hanging out at his ranch, things like that. ...Oscar

4. Whether he wins or loses, I'll always love the Kinkster.....

Been listening to him for close to 30 years now and he never fails to entertain. He's done some of the funniest, and some of the most sadly moving songs I've ever heard.

8. Question for you, Is he the one who sang a song that goes" When...

you`re down on your luck,and you ain`t got a buck, you don`t own the clothes you`re wearing.....I want to go home to the armadillo, good country music from Amarillo to Abeliene..Something like. If you are familiar with the song and know it`s title and who sang it please let me know. Me and my wife have been trying to run this down for some time now. ...Oscar

11. Gary P Nunn wrote "London Homesick Blues"

Nowadays, it's the theme for Austin City Limits. Nunn was part of the Lost Gonzo Band, who backed Jerry Jeff Walker (yay!) & Michael Martin Murphy (boo!) back in Cosmic Cowboy Days.

I'm sure lots of folks have sung that song.

14. Thank You, It sure does bring back memories.

5. One small problem with Kinky's campaign...

Someone on DU has found evidence that Texas Republicans are helping fund his race:

7. Can you just see the headlines if he wins?

"Texas gets Kinky!"


Fun, huh? B-)

[oscarguy]

9. Or, Texas Jewboy New Govenor. His groups name is THE TEXAS JEWBOYS

so please don`t jump on me about that one. ...Oscar

[Bridget Burke]

12. I like Kinky a lot, but am NOT supporting him for Governor.

I saw him & the Texas Jewboys (play on the Texas Playboys) a bunch of times; he can write a fine song. His mysteries started out as fun, but his literary skills are outgrowing them.

I'm voting for the Democrat in the race.

[enigami]

13. They don't make Jews like Jesus anymore

Kinky would sure shake things up

[NoPasaran]

16. Kinky is a repuke and an idiot

The only time this moran could be bothered to vote in the dozen or so years is voting for Bush* in 2004. Fuck Kinky and the horse he pretends to have rode in on!

[Texasgal]

18. Thank you!

AGREED!!!
