Kinky Friedman, known for his satirical and often provocative style, has passed away at 79. A post on his social media announced, “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.”
Richard Samet “Kinky” Friedman earned a cult following for his unique take on country and Western music.
He released numerous albums, starting with “Sold American” in 1973, a record that laid the foundation for his career.
Known as the “governor of the heart of Texas,” he even toured with Bob Dylan during the “Rolling Thunder Revue” and made history as the “first full-blooded Jew” to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
Apart from his musical endeavors, Friedman was a prolific writer. He wrote detective novels and contributed as a columnist for Texas Monthly.
He also ventured into politics, running for Governor of Texas in 2006 with the campaign slogan “My Governor is a Jewish Cowboy,” securing 12.6 percent of the votes among six candidates.
Born in Chicago and raised in Texas, Friedman studied psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.
His passion for music led him to form King Arthur & the Carrots and later Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys. He described the latter as a “country band with a social conscience, a demented love child of Lenny Bruce and Bob Wills.”
Reflecting on his life, Friedman once wrote, “Somewhere in heaven, I’m sure there’s a quiet corner with a big easy chair, a bright floor lamp, a big stack of biographical books, and a few old dogs wagging their tails to the faint smell of cigar smoke.”
WHITE WOMAN HAD GAVE BIRTH TO A BLACK BABY FROM HER WHITE HUSBAND
A mother from Tennessee, Rachel, who is working as a cashier at Celina 52 Truck Stop, had welcomed her son, Cash Jamal Buck, on February 17. The situation is that Rachel and her fiance Paul Buckman are both white, while their son Cash is black.
When the parents shared the news from their Facebook account, they announced their son’s birth as, “Congratulations to our cashier Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman on their baby Cash Jamal Buckman being [born] on Saturday at 6:18pm.”
But when the users saw that two white parents had welcomed a black baby, they immediately accused Rachel with cheating, as they didn’t believed that Paul wasn’t the real father.
After that, Celina 52 Truck Stop had shared, “Yes, Paul is the father. Rachel has African American DNA in her which can skip generations and cause a child to be born with darker skin.”
Then they also stated that there might be possibility of jaundice, and ended their post as, “Please be kind.”
But there were many jokes under the comments section as,
“Congratulations!!! I AM sure he looks just like his dad. Where is he?”
“Definitely needs a DNA test; what if they accidentally mixed up the kiddos in the nursery?”
“I feel sorry for Paul, being duped like this is a whole new level of creep. Hopefully he’ll wise up.”
Then Rachel shared her own ancestry test result, as she stated, “For the haters saying that I [don’t] have black DNA maybe this will clear it up straight from my ancestry DNA results !!!! NOW STOP slandering mine and my [fiancé] Paul Buckman name. he IS the father of Lil Cash.”
