Kinky Friedman, a singer, songwriter, and humorist known for his bold and biting cultural commentary, has passed away at the age of 79. Alongside his band, the Texas Jewboys, he developed a dedicated following among alt-country music fans with provocative songs like “They Ain’t Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore.” Friedman's unique style blended vaudeville, outlaw country, and hokum, challenging mainstream culture with tracks such as “Asshole From El Paso.” He was often compared to Will Rogers and Mark Twain for his fearless social commentary. With his iconic look of a thick mustache, sideburns, cigar, and cowboy hat, Friedman fearlessly poked fun at Jewish culture, American politics, and sacred cows of all kinds. His legacy as a cultural icon and provocateur will be remembered by fans and critics alike.
