Kinky Friedman
[COUNTRY] Kinky Friedman may have only scraped together 12.6% of the vote when he ran as one of two independent candidates for Governor of Texas in 2006, but he’s still a popular humorist/storyteller and songwriter—perhaps everywhere except here in Buffalo, where a purported dust-up with some irritated feminists in the early 1970’s that took issue with his tune, “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed,” kept him from returning to our city until 2012. Friedman comes back regularly now, however, and while his attitude toward women is still questionable, he’s always spoken out against racism (particularly as a Jew raised down south in the 1950s) and animal cruelty. It’s an enduring (though perhaps confusing) juxtaposition of ideals that brings tunes like “How Can I Tell You I Love You (When You’re Sitting On My Face)” and “They Ain’t Makin’ Jews Like Jesus Anymore,” to life within the same set. Friedman brings his amusing shenanigans back to Sportsmen’s Tavern on Wednesday, April 26.
