Kinky Friedman
Biography
Kinky Friedman was an American singer, songwriter, novelist and humorist who modeled himself on satirists Will Rogers and Mark Twain. He grew up in the Texas Hill Country and started his first band while at the University of Texas at Austin. By 1973 he had formed Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys, and that year Commander Cody helped him get a break. He released Kinky Friedman in 1974 and toured with Bob Dylan in 1975 and 1976. After his music career slowed in the 1980s, he turned to writing detective novels featuring a fictional version of himself, and he wrote a column for Texas Monthly from 2001 to 2005. His screen appearances included Record City (1977), Loose Shoes (1978) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986).
