Kinky Friedman is completely full of bull. He’s also a truth teller. It’s a good thing the two are not mutually exclusive. The leader of the now-infamous Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys and former independent candidate for governor of Texas is coming to Juanita’s tonight as part of his “Springtime for Kinky” tour, a 17-show run that will conclude with a performance in Woodstock, N.Y., alongside Arkansas native Levon Helm.

Friedman promises to play some of his favorites, including classics like “They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore,” read passages from his new book, “Heroes from a Texas Childhood,” take questions from the audience, sign books and probably kick back a couple shots of “Mexican mouthwash” along the way.
