Sad news this morning. The legendary Kinky Friedman has died. He was 79. Irreverent, iconoclastic, but with a heart as big as Texas, he lived on his own terms. Truly one of a kind.

I'm trying to figure out what my favorite Kinky quote is. Among them:

1) "If elected, the first thing I'll do is demand a recount."

2) "A fool and his money are soon elected."

3) "There's a fine line between fiction and non-fiction, and I believe I snorted it in 1976."

4) "I believe musicians can run this state a lot better than politicians. We just won't get much done in the morning."

5) "Remember: Y'all is singular. All y'all is plural. All y'all's is plural possessive."

6) “Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail.”

7) "Friedman's just another word for nothing left to lose."

Kinky was not a native Texan, but he once said that he had to come to Texas because we were the only state that would put up with his nonsense. It was here that he caught up to his future. There will never be another like him.

#Devils Smith, Big Dman had elbows down, no head pick, does not leave his feet, textbook open ice hit.
#Blackhawks Bedard, high value player, impact and result very unfortunate.
It’s a clean hit. Period. End of Story. Doesn’t change that it’s an UNFORTUNATE RESULT, but 100% clean hit.
