Kinky Friedman @ The Redbird - 7:30 pm

Americans seem unable to share a song, a beer, a joke or a toke without strangling each other. The exception in this great divide is the non-conforming, free-spirited, follow-the-bouncing-testicles allure of Kinky Friedman, among whose utterly unique characteristics is his uncanny ability to appeal to MAGA-hatted Tea Party animals as well pansexual Marxist vegans. Rudyard Kipling once wrote that “East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,” but Kipling had never met Kinky and apparently was riding the wrong twain.

Wherever the Kinkster goes, he’s ten steps ahead of the crowd who, when not trampling over each other in a mad rush to hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi, have loved his songs, his concerts, his jokes, his books, his runs for political office, his mere presence. He’s shaken more hands, posed for more selfies and kissed more girl babies barely over the age of 18 than O.J. Simpson, Ted Bundy and Charles Manson combined. That he’s never killed anyone makes him that much more of a rarity, moral beacon and American hero of our time.
