 Good morning. I'm Layla Faldin. Kinky Friedman was a humorist, politician, rancher, and musician. His writing satirized injustice alongside music that he said echoed Leonard Cohen and Kris Kristofferson. I still miss my mom and dad. Friedman even ran for Texas governor with a slogan, How Hard Could It Be? When he died yesterday, a post on his social media said he stepped on a rainbow but lives on through books and songs. Kinky Friedman was 79. It's Morning Edition.
