[Bobby · Rating 3 out of 5]

Larry L. King is like a combination of Hunter S. Thompson and Kinky Friedman. Highlight in this collection of his magazine essays is the original 1974 article for Playboy "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" that was later developed into the book, Broadway musical, and film.
