Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 2:16PMJerry Reed explores country guitar is one of the best records ever!
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 2:30PMI'm sure there's a lot more room up there for a guitar man.
R.I.P. to a true legend.
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 2:34PMFuck you for being disrespectful "Bawston Sean",what an insensitive asshole you are!
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 3:23PMIs it to easy to call "Skid Mark" a peice of shit? Too obvious, isn't it?
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 3:35PMnot only that, sean, but you're also being disrespectful to scoob because the correct scooby pronunciation of 'shaggy' would be 'raggy'.
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 4:47PMJerry Reed was MONSTER on guitar. It's too bad that most people will remember him for Smokey and the Bandit. "Amos Moses" was badass...
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 4:53PMMaking fun of a really unique musician that just passed is fucking horrible.So Sean FUCK YOU from all the people that loved Jerry Reed!
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 9:32PMUm, 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.
Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 2 2008 @ 11:49PMThanks, 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...
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 3 2008 @ 9:18AMYeah 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.
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 3 2008 @ 11:20AMthe 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.
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 3 2008 @ 2:05PMI'm partial to the Batman & Robin episodes myself.

Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 3 2008 @ 2:40PMJerry Reed fans will want to hear the profile that Craig Havighurst did for WPLN...
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 3 2008 @ 2:51PMI heard that this morning. The bit about him and the jukebox back at the cotton company store was priceless.
Posted On: Wednesday, Sep. 3 2008 @ 3:03PMDon't know who your calling a troll simple mike?You call people trolls but then say people aren't responsible for what they say because this is the internet.
Isn't that what trolling is?
What the fuck sort of back wood reasoning is that?
Kiss the ring!
