Kinky Friedman is a Jewish country musician, raconteur, writer, and agitator against the politically correct. Too smart for country and too country for the intelligentsia, Kinky Friedman and his band, The Texas Jewboys, paved the way for many unconventional country acts. His creative subversion of the genre gave birth to classics such as "They Don't Make Jews like Jesus Anymore." Celebrities Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, and Bill Clinton shed light on his music and novels. Sporting a satin country shirt with a menorah on the back, he dared to sing about the Holocaust in a country twang. This rollicking documentary traces Kinky's roots, from restless teenager to country/cult act to ink slinging Texas son of a gun. Sit back, relax, and walk a few miles in Kinky's shoes. Are lizard-skin boots kosher or treyf?
