Saw his band, Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jew Boys, when I lived in NYC. They were great and a load of fun!

The actual name of the song is:

“They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore”

But the NYT correct’s Kinky’s grammar

“They Don’t Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore”

Mojo Nixon died in February. We are losing the fringes of Americana.

He was a regular on Imus In The Morning Show. He was a funny guy. I think he ran for office once too.

Very beloved in Texas, where people used to think highly of unusual and snarky individuals. Don’t know if it’s still that way. He had big respect in the music community. People who didn’t agree with him generally respected him too.
