KINKY FRIEDMAN! What a genius! Not only did he write the classic "They
Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore", he also did probably the definitive
"Okie From Muskogee" ripoff, "I'm Proud To Be An Asshole From El Paso".
Not to mention his other classic about your buddy and mine, Charles
Whitman, our first American mass murderer (although his record for
slaughter has since been eclipsed in this age of Uzis and Ingrams),
the guy who got on top of the UT Tower and popped off during the
noon hour... the ex-Eagle Scout and Marine sharpshooter, yes that's
the one. Some great lines like "There was a rumor / About a tumor /
Nestled at the base of his brain" and which ends with the great
post script "And remember, folks, there's an Eagle Scout on every
streetcorner..."

And then there's his Lone Star Beer ads - "Waitret! Gimme some fish
ice cream an' a chicken fried snake!"
