Authentic country music with Ernie on PBSFM Thursday 3-5pm
RIP Kinky Friedman. The man with the cigar made us laugh, cry, dance, and think. A true outlaw rogue, incredible songwriter, animal activist, politician, author, comedian, raconteur, social commentator. Never afraid to offend. In Kinky’s words “Don’t let me catch you laughing when the jukebox cries”.
