when playing GTA5 today i heard this song and had forgot all about it. i loved this as a kid. nice mean guitar work!! so anyway the video got me to thinking first as a joke, then it got serious. this is what i posted on utube in the comments. kenny couldnt do this video today dammit!! do you agree?
""in todays mericah this video wouldn't be possible. the NSA, FBI would've spied on all of kennys phone calls but would've allowed him to escape anyway in hopes for using the forthcoming beating of his ass, by the militarized police, until he died, his gf would have been slammed by the MSM and labeled a terrorist sympathizer. 25 cops would have surrounded her house and all of them would have then shot her and claimed that they feared for their lives. pending court case brought by her family would be dismissed as police chief said they were just following dept protocols. the kids at the end would have been slammed face first into the pavement by 6 cops each, tazed, kicked, beat and then jailed for false crimes. another gun law would then be written to protect "the kids of america" from terrorists. ....satchel mcqueen""

Lots of movies and stories from just 20-30 years ago would not be possible in today's AmeriKa.
Smokey and the Bandit?
LOLOLOLOLOL
The Snowman would have been cut to ribbons by MP5 fire from MRAPs before he even left Tex-Ass.
Seriously, I can't reflect on it too much, because if I do, I realize how much liberty has been lost in just my lifetime, and furthermore, how most people could not fucking care less, and I weep.

I was watching Smokey and the Bandit a while back and was thinking the same thing. The surplus military equipment would be brought out in mas. Not to mention the possible tracking devices that would have been installed on the big rig in the first place. The Snow Man would have never made it.
The Bandits car probably would have stalled out from the ethanol in the gas. Great movie. Think I will watch it tonight. It does make one long for simpler times.

Possible?
Mandatory.
And the Bandit's car?
Never mind the ethanol.
It was a GM product, they would have shut it off remotely, using OnStar.

Forgot about the OnStar.
Bandit: Snow Man you go your ears on?
Snow Man: You lucky devil you got it. Where the hell are you?
Bandit: Setting in the parking lot of a choke and puke. They shut off my car with that damned OnStar.

i just might do a "fun" video about all of this on my utube channel and reenact some of this stuff in todays merikah! give me a few weeks to put it together. my uncle actually restored a 77 pontiac as close to the bandit as possible. my cousin is a cop. maybe i can use the car at least.
