That goes double for deadbeats who are their friends. So when Ratso -- longtime pal, assistant crime solver, and notorious nonpayer -- comes to Kinky with a case of his own, the Kin... more »kster is reluctant to take it on. But if there's one thing a country singer relates to, it's mamas, and it's his long-lost birth mother that adoptee Ratso is seeking. The case turns sour in a hurry, and soon it gets hard to tell the murder victims from the suspects. One thing's for certain: Kinky would rather have a deadbeat for a client than be a dead dick.

Industry reviews
"I have no hesitation in pronouncing 'God Bless John Wayne' a classic....The humor gleams as brightly as Kinky's brontosaurus-foreskin cowboy boots, and there is a little something to offend people of every known ethnic background, religious persuasion, sexual orientation, politcal affilliation, nationality and age group."
