KINKY FIIEDMAN Kinky Friedman is a country music legend, bestselling author, wisecracking columnist, animal rights advocate and is running for governor of Texas.

In his latest book, Friedman reflects on the impressive characters who colored his own years growing up in Texas. “Heroes of a Texas Childhood” highlights 23 individuals who inspired and influenced the child then known as Richard Friedman.

“Some of the heroes in this book are covered in glory, and some remain unsung even to this day,” Friedman said. “They are between these pages because of the way they faced the failures, challenges and tragedies of their lives... the best way to know somebody is to find out who their heroes are.”
