Some D.R.R. Wisdom Imparted On Us By Kinky Friedman

Ryan Mifflin hosted Kinky Friedman on the Dirty Roots Radio show last night. Kinky is a singer/songwriter, author, salsa and cigar entrepreneur, animal rights activist, a living legend, and is running for the Democratic nomination for the office of Governor of Texas.

Whether you agree with him or not - and most of us do a bit of both - Kinky has some good ideas and is definitely a uniquely wise person.

Ryan told him about the DRR and what it's all about. Kinky offered the following wisdom:

“Oh, that’s great…That’s exactly wonderful, and that’s what I think Jesus intended. He didn’t really care who won the football game so much, you know, He just wanted people to help other people. And you will find – I’m sure it’s true in Illinois, because it is in Texas – that the people who are really helping the other people are the ones that the state is not helping at all. So if the state offers you some kind of sweetheart deal, Ryan, or they’re offering you some kind of special advantage or they’re really standing by you, you know you’re a bad guy…Remember what Thomas Paine said on his deathbed: ‘The world is my country, to do good is my religion’. That’s a very good religion and revolutions aren’t free, folks.”

And we felt EVEN BETTER about the cops swooping in last month. They also did a really slow drive-by this past Saturday, eying us suspiciously...guess we're on the right track.
