I love me some Jerry, but I hated me some coon hunting. I would rather be in the bed, covered up then out in the cold listening to dogs running wild after a crazy raccoon which when you tried to cook it, it looked like a dog skinned. G

I'm from the hills of East Kentucky and the only kind of "coon" I've ever heard of wears a mask and has black rings around its tail. Racist? Nah, just a southern man.

one of the best county comics ever also one of the cleanest story tellers ever.
I am a 32 year old black man and I grew up listening to Jerry Clower with my father . These stories bring back to memory of some of my best child hood memories. Any idiot who would say that he is talking about lynching blacks is just plain dumb and really does not understand southern humor.

I wish Jerry Clower was required listening. As a black from the South, I get the jokes. However, for those unacquainted with Jerry and have the idea that there may be a "hidden" or "code" racial aspect to his use of the term coon - a raccoon - I advise you to listen to him tell in his own words his thoughts on race and how it even cost him some fans. Jerry Clower called John Eubanks a great American; but I suggest that Mr. Clower was a great American. Give him a listen, you will laugh!
