Jerry Reed, 1937-2008

Jerry Reed, best known for his role as Snowman in "Smokey and the Bandit," died yesterday.

"Smokey and the Bandit" is a great and timeless comedy. It's still hilarious after 30 years, in large part because of Reed's good ol' boy character.

The theme song from that movie, Reed's "East Bound and Down", is available on iTunes, and I highly recommend it.
