Hang on tight, spur hard, and let her buck. Then when the horse dies, get off. Get on to something else.
About Kinky
- Says he loves Texas but hates to see "what's happened to it," so he decided to run for governor.
- Has never been afraid to say what's on his mind-points to his provocative songs, such as, "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore."
- Says his goal has always been to tell the truth, and he believes he'd bring that to the table as governor.
- Describes himself as a "dreamer who never sleeps."
- Says the best education is just learning from life itself.
- Believes that "when your horse dies, you should get off"; once you stop feeling fulfilled in one position, move to another.
- When his music career was no longer fulfilling him, he turned to writing; after he tried that, he went into politics.
- Believes that as governor, he'd act more as a "guiding shepherd" than a politician.
