Satire is the thread that runs through Kinky Friedman’s career. The Jewish Texan has composed and performed country songs, written books and magazine columns and, in 2006, run for governor of the Lone Star State. (He lost to Rick Perry, a man whose behavior we have come to learn is not intentionally satirical.) Friedman stops by Knuckleheads this week as part of his 2011 Hanukkah Tour. He's performing songs like “Ride ’Em Jewboy,” doing some political commentary and reading from one of his books. I’d imagine that he has an interesting take on the current crop of Republican presidential candidates as well.
