He will definitely be missed. I always admired him for the funny songs. Have any of you ever owned one of those cars that he referenced in "Oh MR. Ford?

Talk about an actor that was typecast! Wow, he was always the goofy "Cletus" guy.

When I was PD at KLTZ in Glasgow, Montana in the early 70's, the General Manager made me pull that record and - no lie - said he didn't want any of that "acid rock" on his station. ???

I don't recall that he had any objections to "When You're Hot, You're Hot."

I always liked WYHYH too...and "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me"...gotta say my FAVORITE would be "East Bound & Down"-Theme From Smokey & The Bandit I. Rest In Peace, Jerry. :-[
