He is author and protagonist of mystic crime novels, was frontman of the first Jewish country band, the “Texas Jewboys”, and all the while a satirist passionately hated by politically correct America.  Among other songs, he wrote the first country tune about the holocaust:  “Ride ‘em, Jewboy”. There is hardly a faux pas which Richard Kinky “Big Dick” Friedman wouldn’t enjoy making. Simone de Vries blends private insights and absurd appearances with interviews of enemies and friends (among them Bill Clinton), and so for the first time creates an extensive portrait of the craziest Jewish country singer.
