Today I met with American singer, songwriter, humorist, and politician, Kinky Friedman.
We talk about his relationship with Bob Dylan, meeting Glen Campbell, and what it’s like living in the world of country music.
Next we discuss his involvement with children camps, and the different activities they offer at the Echo Hill Ranch for disadvantaged youth.
The talk moves to Kinky's favourite type of tequila and then he gives us a surprise performance of his newest song ‘Buddy You're Living My Dream’...
“Wash your hands and say your prayers because germs and Jesus are everywhere.” - Kinky Friedman

What a guy! When I met him a few years ago in Hamburg, I told him, the fuckin' Germans loves his music. (In fact he said a hundred times, the German are his second favourites after all the other people in the World!) He grumbled with his cemetery-voice: "Only the younger ones, Son!" Also I met Bela B from the german Band Die Ärzte at this remarkable concert. He loves Kinky too. Stay tunded, Kinkster. Can't wait to see you once more.
