I'm sure there's a lot more room up there for a guitar man.
R.I.P. to a true legend.
Fuck you for being disrespectful "Bawston Sean",what an insensitive asshole you are!
not only that, sean, but you're also being disrespectful to scoob because the correct scooby pronunciation of 'shaggy' would be 'raggy'.
Jerry Reed was MONSTER on guitar. It's too bad that most people will remember him for Smokey and the Bandit. "Amos Moses" was badass...
Making fun of a really unique musician that just passed is fucking horrible.So Sean FUCK YOU from all the people that loved Jerry Reed!
Um, I loved Jerry Reed, and I don't say "Fuck You" to Sean. But then, I don't take the internet seriously. You know how people joke around to deal with shit in real life? That happens here, too.
Thanks, Mike. I would like to point out that I love the guitar work of Jerry Reed and the contributions he made to music, but I love Scooby Doo even more and I can't resist a Scooby joke. Just wait til the Harlem Globetrotters start dying off...
Yeah thanks Mike.For showing that your so scared of being unpopular you have to defend someone for talking shit about someone that just died because.Maybe you should be McCain's vp pick,you really know how to kiss the ring.
the don knotts guest scooby doo appearance was the best, though. you know, where don knotts dresses up as all the members of this family who is hosting the gang until....never mind. meddling kids.
Jerry Reed fans will want to hear the profile that Craig Havighurst did for WPLN...
I heard that this morning. The bit about him and the jukebox back at the cotton company store was priceless.
