In a twist that surprised everyone,
Texas lost one of its most vibrant,
controversial, and fearless voices.
Richard “Kinky” Friedman,
]whose life story reads like
a character out of one of his own novels,
left a void at the heart of Texas
culture when he died
at the age of 79.
Friedman is known for
his larger-than-life personality.
Was a man who defied
expectations and embraced his unique style,
whether as a satirist,
musician, comedian, or political figure.
With a career spanning decades,
Kinky has not only
entertained but also provoked, challenged, and inspired.
