buckeyemike Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Complications from emphysema at age 71. One of my guilty pleasures among movies is "Smokey and the Bandit". He was also the bad-guy football coach in "The Waterboy". Also wrote and recorded "Guitar Man", and played guitar on the Elvis version. "Eastbound and Down", "Amos Moses"...some pretty good stuff. RIP, Snowman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
