RIP KINKY. He passed in his sleep early this morning!
He was one o' a kind. Individual indeed
Vale 🙏
❤
When he ran for governor the neighborhood powder specialist was driving him around in a golf cart during our neighborhood fiesta party. They were going from customer to customer and gathering support.
@@Theraindear1 that tracks.😉
As Kinky might say, "I'm proud that this is probably as offensive today as it was almost 50 years ago."
RIP Kinky . people like you made my youth in 1970s Austin a blast ! ........... Godspeed
I love seeing this. I lived there in the 90s, and I still think of it as the best time in my life (so far). I bet it was a blast growing up there in the days of The Armadillo etc. 👍👍
@@brianmurphy5313 Yes it was thank you.
My brothers were several older than me and took me to some wild places ( AWHQ was one ) and I got to me some real characters ! Austin was like a big city small town then ( if that makes any sense).
I'm 53...how did I miss this intellectual powerhouse?
As the Kinkster once said, “Thanks, it’s been a financial pleasure”.
I first saw Kinky at the Texas Opry House on Richmond in Houston in 1975. Got a picture of my Mom and Kinky when he ran for Governer. She passed right after that. She enjoyed her day.
1416 Richmond Ave. I was there also and drunk as can be. The Kinkster signed one of his albums for me. Thanks for the laughs, Kinky. Chewcha, chewcha, chewcha. He’s a Jewwwwwwww!
❤
In the land of the dead, he was truly alive.
When we lived in NYC, my late wife and I would go to the Lone Star Cafe on Fifth Avenue to see Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys, drink Lone Star long necks, and eat bbq that was cooked in Texas, packed in dry ice and flown to New York every weekend. There was a giant iguana sculpture on the roof made by the MCC Art dept. Those were the glory days of the band, with hits like Ride 'em Jewboy and Asshole from El Paso. Ahh... it was the best of times, etc...
I used to go there too to see the Kinkster.
I met George Thorogood there about 40 years ago- didn't know who he was, though.
The Kinkster passed away late June 2024. God Rest His Magnificent Soul and Wit!
I was first introduced to Kinky by Don Imus years ago on MSNBC. Gold. Pure gold. Original. Raw. Creative. Nobody like Kinky, ever.
Imma suggest Kinky was "platinum"-- purely precious.
This was originally filmed in 1975 for the PBS series Austin City Limits. By this point in the evening, everyone must have realized that this was not going to air on any television station anytime soon.
I was friends and played with the lead guitar player “Wichita” Cully Cullpepper. He told me about this years ago, and that it never aired. I’m so happy to find this online.
I was swamping cables for my professor who was a cameraman on Austin City Limits that night.
Underground bootlegs were all we had of this for years
I was there. And, sort of remember it.
R.I.P. Kinky Friedman
From the man that wrote "Get your biscuits in the Oven, Get your buns in the bed." , AND played it at the National Women"s Rights convention!
Kinky is a legendary troll lol
@@nate_kangbwwweaaaaaaahhhhhh. He was
I was always surprised El Paso didn’t make this song its official city anthem.
Should be.
Likewise. I'm proud to be an asshole from El Paso.
Good idea! I’d be a rich man today !
I think it was the anthem of Muskogee Oklahoma USA.
R.I.P. Kinky you'll be missed
A lot in that audience thinks its an ode - ah, satire, you makes me laugh
This set must be from that ONE episode of Austin City Limits that was recorded, yet never broadcast (unique to Kinky). ? 😆
Happy Trails and thanks for all the laughs, Kinky!
If this came along now, very few people would realize it's a satire. That's how far [down] we've come on both sides of the political spectrum. God bless the Kinkster, a troubled genius.
you're wrong
@@beckettmurtaugh3170 I said several things. Which ones are wrong? Are you saying it's not a satire? That people WOULD hear it as a satire? That Kinky sucks? What are you thinking really?
Yep I agree 100% we have gone too far on both sides, not enough would know this is satire. I mean some people could barely get that the modern Daily Show with Trevor Noah is political satire.
Even Merle dug this.
@@MrKlemps It wasn't me, but I was kind of surprised by the characterization of Kinky as "troubled."
Kinky would go on KVET radio station often in the 90s and early 2k with Sammy Allred and Bob Cole. That was classic radio and they allowed us to call in and ask questions on air. Kinky was great
It was a fine time in Austin for sure. I remember listening to Sammy and Bob.
I love his books too.
I found a signed copy at the market for 75¢!! What a steal 😂
Where has this been all my life!
Rest in Peace Kinky Friedman
Kinky wrote some books back in the late 80s or maybe early 90s. He was himself in the books, only as a detective. They were very entertaining. I need to look them up and see if there is one I haven't read, or reread the ones I have.
Come to think of it, in Norway Old El Paso taco mix has become a huge friday dinner tradition, with domestic minced meat and sour cream. They really need to play this song more often on Norwegian radio.
I mean…But Old El Paso isn’t even made in El Paso, or anywhere near it
Thanks, man. Safe journey.
This is back when Austin had a sense of humor.
It still does - you just have to know where to look now...
Californians and New Yorkers have ruined it
It’s recognizable
Even then it never aired
Nowadays everyone is too PC to hear “wetbacks” etc,
@@mikep3450 So has some conservative states too like Alabama, where they do not accept any jokes about themselves like Kinky did.
You’ll never see anything more Texan than this. Ride ‘em jewboy!! YEEEHHHAAAAWWW
oh that poor kid in the audience. I bet he learned a lot of new words.
I only wish I could see Merle Haggards face the first time he heard this masterpiece of 🎵
From what I've read, Merle loved it.
@@RayNDeereand from what I’ve heard, Merle was high as a feckin’ kite when he did “Okie”.
Yes, weren’t Merle Haggard and the Strangers “familiar” with marijuana?
Even Merle dug this.
Love ❤️ Kinkky
Sad to hear he passed away….so loaded with talent…very unique
His sun glasses 😂. He and his glasses are good.👍
RIP. How hard can it be?
This absolutely would have gotten a 30 on the gong show in the late 70s especially if JP. Morgan , Freddy Fender and absolutely MERLE HAGGARD had been the guests
Ahahaha
Had the privilege of seeing and chatting to him, in Glasgow 😎🏴
This piece has got to be at lease 40 year's ago.
"Hosing sheep is good enough for us" haha!!!! RIP Kinky.
I hear hoes and sheep but maybe it’s hosing sheep.
Kinky Friedman is a Legend 👍👍👍❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱
No one will ever again have a gubernatorial campaign slogan like “Why The Hell Not?” Godspeed, Kinky.
I freaken ❤ this song
This should have been the theme song to the great movie The Last Night At The Alamo
😂😂😂 My Mom would love this.
RIP KINKY.
RIP Kinky.
Love ya Kinky !!!!!!
I will miss the Kinkster. Love always ❤
I wonder if Kinky ever performed this in front of Merle, back then.
merle heard it and rally liked it
RIP Kinky!
I've lived in El Paso. It was great whrn you could go to Juarez and the Mex food was great. All they have now is poker.
A true classic!
This song is so great 😀 😀😀😀😃😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀that even Charles Whitman 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵gives it a standing ovation
There was a rumor about his humor,
Nestled at the base of his brain.....
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻. ... all y'all were gonna keep laughing off of the ball Kinky got rolling.
Stay Kinky people!
Indeed. Carry on the Kinky
Merle loved that 😅 seriously
The 70s were great
Adios Kinky, thanks for the Margaritas. We wont see your like again.
Beto’s theme song!
Another real character gone.😢 They ain't makin' men like him anymore.
Kinky and Austin.
The two main things about my native state that just keep the sane Texans embarrassed.
I bet this will piss off a lot of people
That was the whole idea 💡
This is why i lost the mayoral race in El Paso, I wanted to make it the official city song with the chamber of commerce!
Mayor Cook would've hunted you down and beaten you with his guitar. 🤣
Still remember him playing Marty Robbins' El Paso for any dignitary that bothered to visit El Chuco.
Well if they couldn't take a joke, "fck em & feed em Fruit Loops". 😁
I guess Kinky finally gets to find out for sure if he should have saved his soul or his pants 👖 one day in the 70’s in a men’s room in LA
Ted Cruz could use this for his theme song if he wasn't a Canadian.
LAWDDDD
As a tribute to Kinky we should spell the title of the song in the American way.
I remember Kinky 👍👍 I voted for him 🍌🔥 "Git your biskits in the oven and your buns in the bed" !!!! 💥💥
I love the version performed By Friedman and BIlly Joe Shaver "live from down under", unfortunately Spotify has restricted them in my region or has some privacy issues.....
Apple Music censored that album.
Have to wonder what Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins thought of this.
Merle dug it. Dunno about Marty.
@@douglaslowe5 Who gives a shit?
😂❤
He sang this with Rolling Thunder back in the seventies.
Oh Beto
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wish I was from El Paso.
😊.
🌈💜💥👍
♫ t-t-t-t-tacos ♫
His estate is going to give back what they stole too
😂😂😂😂😂
Couldn’t make this song today… all Woke assholes would complain …. Long Live Kinky Friedman… RIP Kinksta! We miss you
😃🥲😇
They Ain’t Making Jews like KINKY Anymore
💥💥💜💜🌈🌈💪💪
Why is Donald Trump in the White House when this man's around? An absolute genius in a land of mediocrity.
I was just saying that I wish he'd won the governorship of Texas.
I voted for him!
i Re zembeal that,;
Damn, this blows
Miniminter sent me
The name of kinky's band was the Texas jewboys
Yep. Skycap Adams on bass, BB Bowles on drums, Wichita Culpepper on guitar, Snakebite Jacobs on sax and percussion and Little Jewford Shelby on piano
@@RayNDeere...let me give more propers... at the Lone Star Howie Wyeth drums/piano. Buffalo on bass. Leroy Parnell gtr.. Larry Campbell pedal/ steel/gtr ... and Shredny "N__ger Lips" on harmonica.
Am I utterly confused or is old Kinky telling the truth right in front of God and Jesus and the rest of us?
Naah, you get it.
is this Ted Cruz's campaign theme song?
Is this Beto O'Rourke's theme song, lol
More like Ted Cruz’s
I didn't realize Beto was a social conservative who was opposed to sex before marriage and flag desecration 😄
@@comradebroosk9396 Why, was Kinky?
Farewell Texas Jewboy
None of this is true about El Paso. Period. I could elaborate, but I won’t.
A shoutout to Jill Biden!
That’s his closet lyric. Because his REAL unedited version goes......
“PROUD TO BE AN @$$HOLE FROM SAN FRANCISCO!”
No it doesn't . But you know that.
@@douglaslowe5 . Yeah, totally. Just trying to spread a little humor, that’s all. Thanks though. 👍🏼👌🏽✊🏻✌️
@@g.marksman1769 Have you tried being funny?
Proud to be an * asterisk from San Francisc O!"
Played on Imus in the Morning.
crap of racist music ....
Oh please. It's S-A-T-I-R-E. Don't get your itty bitty feelings hurt...
How did yoy came to that conclusion?
its anti-racist
You must be an asshole from El Paso.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
