Quote:

Jerry Reed, a singer who became a good ol' boy actor in car chase movies like "Smokey and the Bandit," has died of complications from emphysema at 71.


As a singer in the 1970s and early 1980s, Reed had a string of hits that included "Amos Moses," "When You're Hot, You're Hot," "East Bound and Down," "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)" and "The Bird."
In the mid-1970s, he began acting in movies such as "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds, usually as a good ol' boy. But he was an ornery heavy in "Gator," directed by Reynolds, and a hateful coach in 1998's "The Waterboy," starring Adam Sandler.
Welcome to the year of a million deaths...

"Guitar Man" Jerry Reed passes on
 
Actor & Country musician Jerry Reed has died. He was one of my favorites. He will be missed. Jerry was among a long line of fantastic Atlanta bred musicians. In fact as Jerry was cutting his teeth in the business for the first time he was not alone, so was Joe South, Billy Joe Royal. Tommy Roe, Ronnie Milsap, and Ray Stevens (all in Atlanta)

And don't that beat all? I found my radio show theme tomorrow night.

An amiable and enjoyable screen presence, and a mighty fine musician. S'long for now.

What Flippy said. As with Sydney Pollack, one admired his ability to do two fun things well in a likable, low-key way.
