R.I.P. R.I.P. the Blind Guy from Patrick Swayze’s Road House

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Mon, Mar 3 at 9:40 AM

In not a very good way to start the week, the blind guy from Patrick Swayze’s Road House is dead. Blind from birth due to a rare form of cancer, the blind guy from Patrick Swayze’s Road House passed away Sunday at the age of 41. Though known for other things as well, the blind guy from Patrick Swayze’s Road House is best known for his role as Cody, the blind guy from Patrick Swayze’s Road House who played the guitar at the Double Deuce bar. Remember these scenes?

After Patrick Swayze beats the shit out of everyone in the bar…

Cody, Blind Singer at Double Deuce: Ladies and gentlemen… James Dalton.

and…

Dalton: So, you play pretty good for a blind white boy.

Cody, Band Singer at Double Deuce: Yeah, and I thought you’d be bigger.

Both of those are funny, because he’s blind. GET IT?! Rest in peace, Blind Guy from Patrick Swayze’s Road House. Rest in peace.

The guy was quite a talent and deserves better than typical Mercury pseudo-snark.

He may deserve better… but you don't.
