Jerry Clower’s story “A New Bull” is a real classic.
Jerry was a dear friend of mine, and I can tell you for a fact that he was as genuine as the day was long. You couldn’t find a truer friend, a better Christian, or a funnier man.
When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Jerry sat down and taped an entire routine just for him, starting off, “Rev. Clews, this here is Jerry Clower ...” and then launching into some of his most hilarious material.
What a wonderful man. What treasured memories.
He’s too sophisticated and eloquent to be a redneck.
