Blast from the Past

Blast from the Past by Friedman, Kinky. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780345416308.

Return with us now to those carefree days of yesteryear known as the 1970s--when the Bee Gees were bigshots, all sex was safe, and smoking in public wasnt a hanging offense. In the heart of New Yorks Greenwich Village, Jewish cowboy Kinky Friedman is trying to survive as a country crooner at the Lone Star Cafe. And--thanks to a trigger-happy stalker--hes also just plain trying to survive. But who would want to blow away a lovable guy like the Kinkster? Are they really gunning for Kinkys houseguest, Barry Freed, a.k.a. Sixties radical Abbie Hoffman? Could there be a connection to Kinkys current girlfriend, Judy, who swears shes being followed by her old paramour, who perished in Vietnam? Its enough to drive a mild-mannered musician into the dirty business of detective work. But then, being shot at, almost blown up, and threatened with violent death will do that to a person.
