Jerry Reed dead at 71

Huh. And to think "East Bound And Down" just played on my iPod.

Some of you might know him best as the dickhead coach in The Waterboy.

And lest we forget...

On a side note, my Grandpa was a HUGE fan of Jerry Reed. Anytime I hear any of his songs, it makes me think of the summers I spent at my grandparents' house growing up. I spent nearly entire summers with my grandparents from the time I was 10 up until I was probably 16 or 17.

Good times.

I love Amos Moses... great song.

You know, a lot of the time when one of these old guys die and I don't know who he is I check out the wiki, read the article, check the clips, and something clicks and I say "ohhhhhh... that guy!" And yet after reading his wiki, reading that article, and watching/listening to all those clips I can honestly say I have no idea who that guy is nor do I recognize any of those songs.

And I would have swore the truck driver was "Smokey" if you had asked me this morning and I never would have been able to picture him.

I loved Jerry Reed in the Smokey movies. RIP, Cledus!

Jerry Reed's classic movie role, for me, was Hot Stuff, alongside Suzanne Pleshette and Dom Deluise. It was about 3 cops trying to setup their own fencing sting operation, without the support of their department... so they start actually selling some of the stuff they're fencing to support their operation.
