T.D. Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 RIP, definitely a character. I never heard that much of his music, and that via radio rather then recordings, but I read two of his (1980s) mystery novels. They weren't bad, but I didn't keep up with KF's writing and never noticed that he wrote many more books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 He tried to be governor of Texas. I voted for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 I enjoyed his detective books. Very amusing. "Whether your destination is heaven or hell, you always have to change planes in Dallas." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Very sad. I spent many a fun hour at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC, listening to Kinky and his band (which included Howie Wyeth on drums). And then, of course, his albums, suitably corrosive. He was great. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Saw him at SXSW a few times. The last one in 2017. Always entertaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 One time, at the Lone Star, Kinky came onstage and announced "I have some horrible news. Jerry Lewis just had a heart attack!" Pause. "They've discovered a cure for muscular dystrophy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
