Kinky Friedman’s The Man In Black … Tequila

Apparently not satisfied with irritating Texans with a failed gubernatorial run in 2006, singer/writer/raconteur Kinky Friedman is now crisscrossing the Lone Star State promoting his new tequila, Man In Black.

“This tequila is a tribute to men like Paladin, Zorro and  Johnny Cash who wore the dark attire that cloaked them in mystery,” says Kinky. “He may have been a hero or a scoundrel, but all who encountered him knew that he was a force to be dealt with.”

You can pretty much only get Man In Black tequila in Texas right now but it should soon be available in other states. Bottles of the stuff go for $26 to $40 a bottle. “I’ve always liked tequila, which I refer to as Mexican mouthwash,” Kinky adds. “I expect this to be a financial pleasure for me.”

A portion of the profits from Man In Black Tequila will benefit the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, a no-kill facility in Central Texas that finds homes for the canine homeless and downtrodden. Visit their website at www.utopiarescue.com.
