Jerry Reed - songwriter, singer and most of all (for us) the character Cledus Snow in the Smokey and the Bandit movies, died Sunday.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/0 ... t.reed.ap/

Funny thing, his name popped into my head while I was watching Hurricane Gustav coverage from New Orleans yesterday.

Some of his hit songs:

Amos Moses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WK2y66qFDs

When You're Hot You're Hot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9EJ0qXNJGg

East Bound and Down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Jk4U7rTXw
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnRwQjTYfGI

Wow! I didn't even know he was still alive. :shock: Now that I do know, it's a shame that he's no longer with us. :cry:

Too bad.
I liked, "She Got the Gold Mine and I Got the Shaft".
He wasn't the greatest actor, but he was funny.

Saw this in the paper this morning. :(

I have had "East Bound and Down" stuck in my head all day so far. :D

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

You mean... you don't ALREADY have a copy? :shock: Get to the store as soon as it opens in the morning and buy one! If you get pulled for speeding, just tell the officer "I'm in hot puh-suut!". :lol:

Som-Bitch! They were all out... uuuf!

LOL ... for some reason, I've just never picked up a copy, even though it really is one of my favorite movies.
