Welcome back to The Road Show with Tony Justice and Friends! Man, was I excited to sit down with my good buddy John Schneider — actor, singer, songwriter, and the one and only Bo Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard. John’s one of those rare folks who’s just as genuine off-camera as he is on. We talked about everything from his small-town roots and early love of music to how he landed that legendary role and what’s kept him grounded through all the ups and downs of fame.
We also dug into his lifelong connection with working folks and truck drivers, his passion for country music, and the powerful story behind his new song, “Charlie’s Words.” This conversation had me laughing, thinking, and feeling grateful for good people who still speak the truth and live it every day.
