The "Kinkster" appeared at The Narrows on June 7, 2012 as the second of 25 one nighters on a 26 day tour. According to his website: "No, the Hessians ain't comin'. Kinky has managed to keep Kerrville out of war with Fredericksburg for decades in Texas. But he is trading the ten-gallon hat for the tricorn look for his big June 2012 Bi-Polar Tour. Get ready for the fireworks. Kinky's donning his bi-polarized shades and riding off to the Colonies to entertain those damned Yankees up and down the East Coast, with stops in Canada and Chicago. So put away your lithium, get ready to chase away your June Gloom, and get manic! Kinky Friedman is heading to Asbury Park, Woodstock, New York City, Philadelphia, and other northeastern towns that have made American music great. (Hey, even Fall River, MA inspired a ballet.)"

Kinky offered up a beautiful mix of humor and prose, musical insight and depth as an American. He saluted the Veterans and promoted his new tequila which can only be purchased in Texas (for now). He declined an encore request of "Something's Wrong (With The Beaver) because he stated there were too many rough chords in it. It was a very entertaining set and one which I'm happy to have experienced. It will be posted on WMVY for streaming in about one week.
