Samantha has to nip out to take her german shepherd to the park to give him a stroke, while he licks her face and pants.

Ramones made their debut at the Roundhouse in London on July 4, 1976. Before the gig, Johnny Ramone snuck a couple members of The Clash, through the back window.

What an incredible talent…author, politician, singer and the wittiest raconteur whose gentle spirit will be sorely missed…Rest in Peace Kinky… @FriedmanKinky

[Traces of Texas @TracesofTexas]

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.

Magnet Magazine: "BlackTape echoes the romantic indulgence of This Mortal Coil, with haunting female vocals and ornate neoclassicism juxtaposed against an ominous, frozen landscape of strings and keyboards"
