The Null Device
Last evening, I went to see a performance by country singer/novelist/all-round
wacky funster Kinky Friedman, who performed along with Little Jewford, the
sole surviving member of his infamous country band, the Texas Jewboys.
I'm not a fan of country music (and didn't get into the support act
at all), but found the whole show very amusing. Friedman performed a
number of his well-known songs (Get Your Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns
In The Bed, They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus No More and
Asshole from El Paso were some of the numbers), read an excerpt from
one of his books and generally clowned around on stage, with Little Jewford
playing the straight-man, replete with ridiculously Muppetish voice and
gestures.
All in all, most entertaining. I understand that he will be appearing in
Melbourne again, both musically and at the writers' festival,
and can recommend seeing him.
