    I'd completely forgotten about using the word "boss" in the early 70s when describing something cool! I think its popularity came and went pretty quickly.

    I remember "boss" as cool in 1965-66. There was a top forty LA station called Boss Radio 93KHJ. Yeah, it probably came and went quickly. I don't think "boss" was cool by the 70's. Lol.

    "Boss" radio was a popular format across the country in the late 60s to roughly the mid 70s. Fast talking DJ's that announce the name of every song and artist played. It helped record sales tremendously.
