Whilst youtubing tonight I came across the fact that Cledus Snow, aka Jerry Reed died on the 31st Aug.

I'm so sad to hear about that, as that films are my most favourite films. I even have East Bound and Down as my ringtone for months!!

RIP my friend.

Very sad to see this also

East bound and down is great

 

I've had the same ringtone for ages now Classic

RIP

 

shit never realised he accomplished so much only ever see him in smokey and the bandit ! shame rip

Sad news.

East bound and down is a classic, so is Guitar man.

 

When i was on my BMX years ago I used to be the snow man! Gutted I feel very old!

Breaker breaker 1 9 this hears and all that!

RIP good fella!

 

LOL so do i..... and me mate Mick........



RIP though.....

 

bye bye.......r.i.p

 

in a totaly unrelated post, i bought smokey and the bandit about an hour ago off teh internet

didn't realise the films, or indeed he, was that old

rip snowman

 

shame never realised he was a singer as well. loved him in the smokey and the bandit films

 

You are kidding, ain't you??
He's a legend in country music and even Elvis covered one of his songs!!

 

R.I.P Jerry Reed total legend and yes east bound and down is also my ring tone lol

 

but elvis has been dead for these past 35 odd years so if the kids only 20 he's hardly likely to know is he

 

RIP Elvis too who died August 16, 1977

 

i must have coufsed him with bruce lee, who also died in the 70's

 

Found this on You Tube,looks fun!!

You confused me with regards my age then as Elvis died two weeks before I was born!

 

elvis is DEAD.....WTF!?

 

apparently so, but recent reports have had people seeing him in the local supermarket, so i think it's just a publicity stunt

 

Except if Elvis were alive today he'd be 73....and not quite so rock an roll

 

probably more like bread roll eh

 

Snowman was a ledg' and Smokey & The Bandit is a mega film..........

Most guy's over 30 must remember being 10 yrs old and dreaming of caning that black Trans Am with Frog undressing next to ya' or driving that huge Mack rig with the ol' bloodhound in the passenger seat... RIP Snowman

 

you mean old Fred

 

"10-4 on that choke and puke son ...... and while youre there do me a favour and pick up a little something for Fred; he's lookin a little thin in the skin, comeback" Ha, ha, ha, ha.

I loved these films growing up too. When i was of a primary school age back in the early eighties my Aunt had a '78 T-Top Tranny as per the Bandits (except it had beige trim instead of black) but i didn't care at six years old ........ the envy of the school when she came to pick my cousin and me up!

Smokey and the Bandit; cracking films !!!

 

Such a Shame, Dam i feel old, all my favourite films caracters are disspearing
