Michael Lee's life reads like a Forrest Gump-style when-you-come-to-a-fork-in-the-road-take-it Southern novel. Except that it's all true. Starting out humbly enough as a shoeshine boy in his dad's smalltown Mississippi barber shop--where he was once invited to swim in a king's swimming pool--he later played champion-level college football, looped for years on the Mid-south Wresting circuit, worked his way through local law enforcement ranks and became body guard to none other that The Killer himself, Mr. Jerry Lee Lewis. Along his journey he met folks you wouldn't believe, picking up stories--and insights--that'll make you laugh, raise your eyebrows and shake your head. This epsiode if full of grit, heart and behind the scenes tales and insights from a heckuva life.
