Born 82 Years Ago Today in Chicago, the Outlaw Country Rebel Who Parodied Merle Haggard and Later Ran for Texas Governor

On this day (November 1) in 1944, Richard Samet “Kinky” Friedman was born in Chicago, Illinois. A cigar-smoking, larger-than-life presence who counted Nelson Mandela among his fans, Friedman wore many hats throughout his lifetime — humorist, singer, songwriter, novelist, provocateur, one-time Texas gubernatorial candidate. Swinging wildly from crude lowbrow humor to pointed social satire, he released songs including “They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore,” the Merle Haggard parody “A–hole from El Paso,” “We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to You,” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed”.
