In the early 1970's, he formed a country and western band called The Texas Jewboys. His music mixed social commentary with humor and dealt with topics such as racism and anti-Semitism.

After his music career ended in the 1980's, he started writing detective novels featuring a fictionalized version of himself solving crimes in New York City. Since April 2001, he has been a regular columnist for Texas Monthly magazine, but stopped in March 2005 due to his campaign bid for governor of Texas. He founded Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, whose mission is to care for stray, abused, and aging animals. He currenlty lives at Echo Hill Ranch which is located near Kerrville, Texas. In 2012, Kinky Friedman partnered up with Willie Nelson to write Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die: Musings from the Road which became a New York Times Best Seller.

Blijft grappig en onderhoudend, op elke bladzijde een quote die minstens doet glimlachen in de onnavolgbare stijl van de Kinkster... Het verhaal is niet zo intrigerend, maar dat is bijzaak. Kan enkel in het Engels gelezen worden, ik weet zelfs niet of er vertalingen in het Nederlands bestaan...

Geweldige oneliners, Graucho Marx stijl...Onderhoudend verhaal maar geen brilliante whodunnit...
Moet je in het Engels lezen !
