Part 5/11:
A recurring theme is Kane's respect and admiration for family, especially his mother and grandmother, who raised him. The stories of childhood punishments—like chewing entire packs of cigarettes, or being whipped with poison ivy and switches—highlight the tough love and humor that shaped his character. Kane's stories of growing up in a rural Georgia town, surrounded by rivals and small-town adventures, speak to a life rich in community bonds and authentic experiences.
