Kinky Friedman

Aside from being a politico, folksinger, and mystery author, Kinky Friedman is also a longtime animal advocate and feels as passionately about his pets as he does about legislative reform. But rather than simply write about his own experiences, why shouldn't he include a few friends? Of course, Kinky's address book is unique, and he's taken full advantage. In his new collection, the Kinkster writes about his famous friends and their pets, with candid, personal photos of the stars and their beloved animals. He's got musicians, like Johnny Cash and his pig, Brian Wilson with his dog, and Willie Nelson doing his best horse whisperer impersonation; actors and comedians ranging from Phyllis Diller with Miss Kitty to Richard Pryor on a pygmy pony; and a lineup of writers, politicians, and some heroes of the past--Bill Clinton, Joseph Heller, and Mark Twain, to name a few.--From publisher description
