Kinky Sunday
Before heading back to day two of the Fun Fun Fun fest, I had to stop off at the Texas Book Fair once more to see Kinky Friedman play a free show and sign copies of his latest book. Kinky - whose Texas Jewboys were one of the most notorious alt-country acts of the 70s - ran as an Independent for Texas Governor last year, losing decisively to incumbent Rick Perry. The Governor's mansion is literally across the street. "This is probably the closest I'll ever get," Kinky sighed.
