Kinky’s final album, Poet of Motel 6, comes out March 21st!
For those of you without a New York Times subscription, we’re excited to share this gift article about our beloved Kinkster.
Kinky Friedman stepped on a rainbow at his beloved Echo Hill surrounded by family & friends. Kinkster endured tremendous pain & unthinkable loss in recent years but he never lost his fighting spirit and quick wit. Kinky will live on as his books are read and his songs are sung.
Kinky’s choice. Found in his office, a gem from when his 2nd career as an author was taking flight. #johncandy insisted on waiting in the signing line even when the crowd urged him to the front…legend. Over John’s right shoulder, that’s Hemingway’s grand-daughter. Fitting. 📚
“They say when you die and go to heaven all the dogs and cats you've ever had in your life come running to meet you. Until that day, rest in peace, Cuddles.”
Kinky & Brownie Friedman (circa 2010).
“I believe when you die and go to heaven, all the dogs and cats you’ve ever had in your life will come running to meet you.”
