Back in the 80s, I could not stand the guy. WAY too full of himself. In recent years, I have read about and watched several interviews and documentaries. There is one where he is looking at keepsakes from his past, as The Boz, with his Son. He was also teaching his Son about PROPER character. The guy grew up with zero respect from his Dad and had a lot of anger. I really admire how he took it on himself and with help from THE Big Man. I totally respect the guy now. Also....He is GREAT as the Sheriff in the Dr Pepper Fansville commercials!
