Book Reviews of Cowboy Logic: The Wit and Wisdom of Kinky Friedman (and Some of His Friends)
Book Review: "When the horse dies,get off."
Summary: 5 Stars
If you enjoy life,you'll love Kinky's latest book. Here, Kinky has assembled some of his favorite sayings to help anyone to see through the trials and tribulations of life and some downright good advice for you to live by.Kinky is one of those rare jewels who is totally enamored with life and everything about it. He has the ability to cut through the dense layers of fog that confound and confuse life; and just get to the point of it all.
The world lost something great when the people of Texas didn't elect him as Governor. Kinky gave them the chance,and we are all the poorer for it. Of all the Governors that have been elected, by all the States ;what an experience it would have been had he been elected.
His campaign slogan was;
"I'll fight wussification if I've got to do it one wuss at a time."
We've heard a stream of talk from politicians over the years;but never the straight talk we get from Kinky.
In the book Kinky gives us a good line with;
"Jesse Ventura just didn't realize that wrestling is real and politics is fixed."
Or his own assessment of how he would do as a Governor;
"I can't screw things up any worse than they already have."
Kinky starts his book with;
"Happiness is a moving target."
and concludes it with;
"Yep ,this is my watchdog--he watched them steal my
trailer,saddle,bridle,and fifty pounds of oats."
These are good examples of what you'll get in the book and the meanings always go deeper than the surfac.
If you believe that Kinky is not one of the wisest observers of life today;mull this one over for a while;
"Man's ability to delude himself is infinite."
