Kinky Friedman was his usual, engaging self while playing to a small - but attentive - crowd in one of Orange County's wealthiest cities. Campus Jax is so close to John Wayne Airport, even Friedman became momentarily distracted by the sound of a jet plane either taking off or landing overhead.
Tuesday night Oklahoma City's “The Blue Door” welcomed the estimable Texas songwriter Kinky Friedman to their intimate room. Friedman is touring in support of his magnificent collection of new songs “Circus of Life”, his first new songs in forty years.
