The Great Psychedelic Armadillo Picnic: A "Walk" In Austin (2004) - Plot & Excerpts
I read this book in one day. It is only 138 pages but it held my interest enough to keep me reading and reading till I finished. It is a book of humour written 10 years ago by Richard "Kinky" Friedman. It is styled as a guide to his adopted city of Austin, Texas. I lived in America for 30 years before moving to Australia but never experienced the mystique of Texas except for a week at a mystical religious convention. Of course, Friedman is best known as the songwriter and singer of Kinky Friedman and theTexas Jewboys. His Jewish professor father objected to this name giving Friedman even more reason to use it. His breakthrough song in 1973 was the satirical "Get Your Biscuits in Oven (and Your Buns in Bed)" He has tried to atone for his sins with a string of writings as a Cowboy satirist. He even ran for governor of the state of Texas in 2006, getting 12 percent of the vote, finishing 4th of 6. If you like comedy and tongue in cheek humour this book takes you on a nice short ride.
