My little lady and I love the Kinkster.
Gone see him in Dallas at a book signing or something hopefully soon. For
whatever reason, he just kinda crept up in whats left of my mind the other
day and the words to "They ain't makin Jews..." kinda sorta got al stuck
up in there, amongst the spiders and glue and popsicle sticks and stuff.
So been lookin for Kinkstah sites on the web and gone buy all kindsa books
and CDs now in an attempt to get keep the demon at bay. We luv ya Kinky!
Comments:
this site is good, very good indeed. Soon
I shall be in Utopia.
Comments:
look forward to you Houston visit -
Comments:
The Lap-Steel player in my band put me
on to your books by reading parts of them out loud whilst stuck in the
back of the tour bus - Very funny & hopefully I'll catch one of your
readings when you're next in England.
Comments:
glad to find a sight with class. been
a fan for many moons.
Comments:
Hello Kinky! I'm very excited to find
that you have a website. It was discovered for me by my friend Greg, who
I told all about you on a recent visit. He's now spending a lot of time
smoking cigars, stroking the cat and killing shots of Jamiesons. I love
the cat in your books - I have a very intelligent and intuitive black cat
myself. When I read your note about Cuddles at the end of "Elvis, Jesus
and Coca-Cola" I cried. Good to see that you're still tourin' around. any
chance of a visit to Australia? Noela

dear kinkstah, it might be interesting
for you that the internet provides a new and HIGHLY moving homepage about
anne frank: http://welcome.to/annefrank it might also be interesting for
you that the kinkstah is still our favourite author. love and greetings
from luisa and uli umlauf, berlin

Hello again !! We met on Saturday the
21st of August in Edinburgh after your reading. I hope the rest of your
trip was sucessfull and look forward to the next meeting where ever that
may be. all the best, Birkbeck.
Comments:
Imus in the Morning turned me on to you,
maybe I should send the thank you note to him. Love your books, you've
got a great way of thinking.
Comments:
Just sitting here hopin' I'm not struck
by lightning for admiring the genius of "They Ain't Makin' Jews like Jesus
Anymore". I was able to find the CD Old Testaments and New Revelations,
which reunited me with this tune which, in my humble opinion, is on of
the best ever. Many years ago I was able to see the Kinkster and 'Boys
do their thing at old Liberty Hall in Houston. As Kinky might say, I liked
to have "browned out in my Bermudas" because it was so good.
Comments:
ik like your style!! bye nick,Amsterdam,holland
Comments:
Kinkstah! I have been reading your books
from the first one, and try to catch your act whenever you are out here!
I'm one of your most loyal fans. . .I'm sending good wishes--you're a marvel!

There was a lady at work reading one of
your books and, being an avid reader myself, I asked what she was reading.
When she replied,"I'm reading a Kinky book" my curiosity got the best of
me. I read one, then another, and so on, and I now have ten of your books.
I can't wait until your next one comes out. Keep up the good work!!
Comments:
Dear Kinky thanks for all the great reads
and listens. Next time you're in Sydney e-mail us and we'll do yum cha.
I promise to split the bill. Regards
Comments:
Saw Kinky at the Waterstones signing in
Manchester last night. First time i'd ever seen him in the flesh. Couldn't
think of a damn thing to say! Excellent set, pity about the crowd (brits
tend to be a bit subdued in churches) Cheers kinkstah!
Comments:
It was a great to meet you, drink with
you and eat chinese food with you after your London reading. I look forward
to doing it all over again.I shall be in Las Vegas for a conference in
a couple of weeks - a town that understands a man's need to drink beer
and smoke cigars. May your pony newer be shot from under you. Best regards
Steve Lovering ne of the two Steves you met with James "U boat" Lea
Comments:
Keep it comin' at us, KINKY! we lived
in Austin about 9 yrs. ago. We miss you! Andy & Theresa Hennessey
Comments:
Mr Friedman, If you peruse the pages,
I'd like to thank you for making the signing at Oxford St London great.
Geographically speaking I thought an audience with The Kinkster would be
impossible. Well worth the price of admission. Decided not to quit smoking
after all, decided to quit quitting instead... Giving up abstinence next
Lent too. Thanks once again, Steve Saul

I hope to get an autugraphed copy of Spanking
Watson as soon aas it comes out. I have two of your C.D.'s, like frosted
flakes, they're grrreat!
Comments:
THANK YOU KINKY! I am so glad to have
found your books. Please keep writing, I might never be bored again.
Comments:
dear kinky I love your books esp. Elvis,Jesus,&
Coca Cola. But you should know that Steve rambam is a fucking anti semitic
fed rat! by associating your self with him you lose credibleity. sorry
to take such a tone with you but i feel rather strongly about it. p.s.
got a kick out of you being an answer on jepardy.
Comments:
I know you have heard this over and over,
but I enjoy your books. I believe that I have read nearly all of them.
I must admit that Blast From the Past didn't give me as much of a lift
as the others. When is your next publication scheduled or are you gi ing
your typewriter a rest for a while.
Comments:
I like the CD, With out knowing to expect.
Are you coming to Chicago for a concert?
Comments:
Just finished Blast From The Past and
enjoyed it as much as the previous ten. Keep on writing and keep the jokes
coming.
Comments:
Hello Kinky, As a friend of Steve Rambam's
(yes he has friends) and a private dick myself, I enjoy reading and rereading
your books. I am looking forward to the next one in September and hope
to see you at Nile's Wine Room in San Antonio. Thanks for the stories and
Hurry up with th' next one!!!
Comments:
Love your first album. Keep up the good
work jew boy.
Comments:
I'd like to see a songbook for "Pearls
In The Snow" or maybe the chords along with the lyrics on this web site.
Just hoping.
Comments:
I spend about 3 dreathful years in the
etablicemente prisonal de Lisboa in Portugal of which in comparision midnight
express is the holiday inn and was partly saved by the good kinky books
a friend send me but the only problem was (en still is) the more y u read
the more sigars one likes to smoke! And those were NOT available in there!!
And because of that I'm more addicted than ever on sigars (and his books
of course)
Comments:
Love your songs, Mr. Friedman. What are
you going to come to the East Texas area? (Lufkin)
Comments:
Kinky, I just sent something to Lisa.
Just wanted you to know "Rabbi Rachel" is graduating from Americorps in
DC on August 9 and will be moving to Sioux City to be with us, go to school,
become a Rabbi and house painter (As Eric says, "If your house does 't
have a prayer, call Rabbi Rachel.". Zarah is still working at the Barnes
& Nobles in Sunset Valley and is just about to become manager of the
music-video section. She is going to come up and visit us in September.
Eric is doing great as News Directo at KSCJ and I have even done a few
of the "Drive Time Live" shows (I bill myself as the "Not Ready for Drive
Time Live Hostess, Gracie"). Also just got a great job at Mercy Hospital
here. The people are really nice and the quality of life isn't a buzz ord.
The Morrell plant stinks, though. With every rosebush there are a few thorns.
I hope you, Tom, Edith, Marcy, et al are doing well. I enjoy Pearls in
the Snow and have turned more people on to you in the Quad Cities where
I went for my high school reunion. You have some dual fans there from the
last time I went through there. Have a great time in the UK. We think about
you a lot. Our number here is 712 258-4396. Our address is 3145 Isabella
St., Sioux City, IA 51103. Love, karen/gracie

Long have I been an admirer of the Kinkster,
Bass Ale, Jameson's Irish Whiskey, and crime novels, altough I confess
to not being a fan of cats or cigars. Knowing of his dislike for computers,
I didn't dream there was a site until my father (also an admire )found
it one night while idly surfing. It makes me happy to know there is such
a thing, and I shall be pleased to purchase Spanking Watson as soon as
it arrives at Amazon. Thanks and many happy mammaries!
Comments:
finally, a chance to rub elbows with quite
possibly the most entertaining writer of the century. The last decade?
well the best author in the sales bin anyway. Thanks.
Comments:
Hey kinky.Just a quicky from down under.I
cant wait for your upcoming trip.While your out here come and see our beutiful
Hawksbury.I think we met at a Harry Dean stanton gig in sydney acouple
of years back (Ithink it was you.Christ i was pissed.)Anyway dr p in. Adios
Comments:
Dear Kinkstah! Thanks a lot for playin'
in Bergen,Norway twice. Hope you'll come back for a third show soon...
I'm looking forward to reading Spanking Watson. -Ørn-

If only William Powell were young enough,
we'd have the quintessential Kinkster for the big screen...(w/ Myrna Loy
as Stephanie DuPont, no doubt) My garage is awash with empty Jameson's
and Guiness bottles, the dirty clothes have been sorted into Salty and
un-Salty piles (I can still wear un-Salty),the dog quit, the kichen floor
is getting audibly sticky....all from reading and re-reading the Kinks
er's novels. I think I might like 'em.
Comments:
Tell the kinkster that several of his
books refer to Blue Blall, Mont. No such animal but there is a one ball
town called Blue Ball, Pa. Looking down from Canada its to the left of
Texas, looking up from Mexixo its to the right. When's the next video com
ng out.
Comments:
I read alot. I spend too much. But 'F'
in the crime section is always the first place I look when I a hunting
for a good read. Always money well spent. Kinky has the rare quality of
bringing his characters alive. The visions and sounds run through my head
like amovie as I read. The leasbian dance class, the bloody puppet head
sailing out the window, the Nazis, the lot.....Graet to hear anothers on
the way in September. All the way from Australia, keep them coming. Love
the line about cats and dogs in heave . Better take some cans of tuna with
me when I go.

KINGSTAH!!!!!! YOU SCOUDREL!! JUST WHEN

12 months ago. Can't get enough. STM

Just finished reading"Blast from the Past",
my first exposure to K.F.. It was cool
Comments:
Sending greetings and praise for your
work from PA. I heard of your books from the Don Imus show and later checked
out "Blast From The Past" from the library. Now, I have 5 Kinky books and
plan to buy your CD. Your books are hysterical and a fast read for us slow
readin' folk! Love the way you talk to your cat as I myself chat em' up
with my adopted beauty "Mokie (aka Smokie cause she is gray) Mer Mer (cause
she meows alot)" Keep em' comi
Comments:
I love your books and your music! i have't
read first two books. I can't find them here in St. Joseph MO!
Comments:
My first visit,have been a fan for years
a friend Linda referd me to the site kinkys a super talent!
Comments:
Ain't the Kinster the greatest? Have read
and marveled and laughed thru 3 of his books so far Need to check out the
latest... Any fellow-Kinster fans pls email me! What a combo of humor and
wisdom he paints on his pages...
Comments:
So glad to see you are going to UK - does
that mean there is hope for Canada - will you visit here???? Look forward
to Spanking Watson. Marsha

I was born in Palestine, lived in Palestine
all but 14 years of my life and I never heard of Kinky Friedman untill
I logged onto the Palestine web site. When did you live in Palestine? Did
you graduate from Palestine High School? If so what year? Loved he pictures
of your dog and cat. Now I must read your books.
Comments:
I only recently discovered your books,
due to a fortunate impulse purchase in a secondhand shop. I'm hooked, cant
stop buying and reading the darn things. What a sense of humour! As a long
time feminist I should be ashamed of myself but I just cant help laughing
at your comments. I especially liked the insight on farting in God Bless
John Wayne - that while 75% of men find it humorous , 0% of women do. How
true. Well I'm up to Th Love Song of J Edgar Hoover with a few more good
laughs to come. Thanks for some really good reads
Comments:
Hi Kinky, I picked up "Blast from the
Past" and after two chapters, my brain is twirling around so fast I hope
I can read the rest of the book. There's nothing like starting a book that
has you laughing out loud on the first page, but YOU got me laughing with
the book jacket. Best wishes....THE KINK in Louisville
Comments:
Looking for your older books...such as
Musical Chairs, When the Cat's Away, A Case of Lone Star, and Greenwich
Killing Time...frustrating as hell. Bookstore(s) in Rhode Island?
Comments:
hello from a kinky friedman fan from the
uk. I haven't ready any of your books, but I'd love to - don't know if
I can get them here. I still remember a few lines from they ain't making
jews like jesus any more, although i heard it 20 years ago, and not ma
y times then! I had a pair of rats named baby and jesus, and i can't say
i named them for you, but i am sure you influenced my mind through the
years! best wishes, sara c.e sussex- ps dave clark from london brought
your works to my attention!
Comments:
Love your music,love your books.(what
were the origilal lyrics to They aint makin' Jews...? (being one of the
few Jews in Arkansas your humor is a breth of fresh air)Love ya,Kingstah!!!
Comments:
Love your books and Pearls In The Snow
The music is great! Thanks

Want to see Kinky singing Sold American
on Imus, does anyone have it available to download?
Comments:
I just lost my Cat of 13 years and remembering
the words that you had written about Cuddles made the passing easier. I
remember the first time that I read this; I have dreaded the day that I
would lose Athena.....but I knew that what he said was true..... Thanks
for all the good times and memeories....
Comments:
I accidentally found some of Kinky's books
at the local public library and was instantly addicted! Kinky is a national
treasure. I, for one, can't get enough. And as I am now on my next to the
last one published, I was thrilled to find this website and to learn that
I don't have to go cold turkey...more Kinkster books in the works. Thank
you, Kinky, for making me laugh! (Do you have a brother?)
Comments:
I've loved you since I first heard the
name "Texas Jewboys!" I saw you in Nashville last October at the Southern
Festival of Books. You may not have been the best writer there, but you
were the funniest and the best-looking. And the only one who wouldn't ay
FUCK in front of a c-h-i-l-d. Have you ever read "The Education of H*Y*M*A*N*
K*A*P*L*A*N"? It was in the high school library in my small-town, redneck
home town. That was my first indication that Baptists were severely humor-impaired
compared to those of the Jewish persuasion. My cat, Little Andy Jehosophat
Sipowocz, says he thinks you're killer bee, also. Bye!
Comments:
So when my life is a mess, absolutely
nothing is going right, the world looks like a wonderful thing to blow
up, who do I turn to? Well, not exactly. But damn, I've read all the books
(except Blast From the Past) in an incredibly short time and enjoyed 'em
all. I must admit to being partial to A Case of Lone Star, which I reread
today. For the person who wondered about the authentici y of the nose-picking
comment, that's the book the quote is from. Now, if only we could get a
cover/preview of Spanking Watson (an ARC of it sold big on Ebay, for those
that care)...and the Mile High Club.
Comments:
dear Kinky, where did you get, 'you hav'nt
got a hair on your bum,'from? all my love vicky
Comments:
I'm a new reader of your books and I cant
put it down . vary good.
