Page "Kinky Friedman" Paragraph 5

By 1971, Friedman had formed his second band, Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys, which many took to be a play on the name of the famous band Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

In keeping with the band's satirical nature, each member had a comical name: in addition to Kinky there was Little Jewford, Big Nig, Panama Red, Wichita Culpepper, Sky Cap Adams, Rainbow Colours, and Snakebite Jacobs.

More conventionally named roadie Jack Slaughter and road manager Dylan Ferrero rounded out the crew and provided most of the driving of the " tour bus ", a Cadillac with 10-year-old expired license plates and a nasty predilection for going into a coma at the most inconvenient moment ( but, according to Friedman, her talent lay in her ability to stop on a dime and pick up the change ).
