[Quigs]

It is a pleasant feeling this stress free weekend.

Kinky Friedman, 79.
I saw Kinky 20 odd years ago at The Basement.
He was a classic. Funny, satirical, politically challenging and damn fine songwriter.

With his band The Texas Jewboys.

The Kinkster gets another one from me

Was that Basement show with Van Dyke Parks BBB ? I remember it being advertised and hearing him interviewed on the Music Show on Radio National. Kicked myself for not going.

They don't make Jews like Kinky or Jesus anymore. Though we still have Randy Newman with us.

A good obituary for Kinky,

A close friend to Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, Friedman also wrote several novels and ran for Texas governor in 2006

RIP Geoff Robinson, the long haired Canterbury prop from the late 70s to 80s. Geez we could use the likes of him in our team at the moment.

Great memories of the great wild man.
Gone too soon

f**k he was good to watch. Animal off the bench, mainly. Big black-haired beast of a thing. Tough player who stood out in a very tough era of footy. I miss those days more and more as I get older.
