Blast From the Past by Kinky Friedman

Written as a prequel Blast From the Past looks back into the past to introduce us all into the particular way in which Kinky goes from a barely employed musician to a barely employed musician and private eye.

With the unique mixture of humor, satire, irony, and crudeness that is the Kinkster you will either love it or hate it.  There is a tremendous amount to drinking and drugs along with unhealthy living in general.  Of course being chased by a madman is not very healthy for living either.

If I had not read any of Friedman's work before and enjoyed it I probably would have stopped after about chapter three.  Luckily I had read him before and about chapter six it got better and was enjoyable.  The off putting was not the writing, I just do not enjoy reading about people getting high or drunk ever other page.
