Dear Dave: 
 SM> ... Never squat with your spurs on - Kinky Friedman
 
 DH> Just curious....do you even know who Kinky Friedman is? Or is that 
 DH> a "canned" tagline?
I ran across that quote in a review of his book "God Bless John Wayne" 
that ran in the British entertainment magazine "Q" (June, 1996).  The 
review states that the book is a murder mystery, starring him (i.e. he 
wrote himself in as the main character).  His earlier history, the 
articles states, was as a leader of a satirical country and western band 
in the early 1980's.  He was described as the "Lenny Bruce of country 
music" and the song titles listed would, IMO, cause offense in a very 
large number of people.  
One possible inference that I can make from your message is that you were 
offended by the quote.  If so, please accept my apologies.  I did not mean 
to upset you.  I'm not familiar with his work so I can't say that I 
support him or that I am a fan.  I don't find the quote, *by itself*, 
offensive.  If you do, I am sorry.  I won't use it again.  I liked it and 
I used it, that's all.
As to the issue of taglines, I try to be as original as possible.  I 
either think of them myself or use quotes that I have found here and there 
with credit given to the author.  
Hope this helps,
Steve
