In “Showstopper” Cutler fled to the west coast to get away from this kind of thing.
Be careful of popularized history. DC went to the left coast for reasons that had nothing to do with MA culture. As people that knew him and worked with him can attest, he was in fact as a chain smoker and ex-Marine (sorry Dan), he was and is much more 'east-coast' than 'mellow left coaster.' [He kept his cigarrettes rolled up in his tee shirt just like James Dean BTW]. There is even a ESPN highlight real of him rolling his car in an NASCAR race, which Ihave lost the URL too (I took a quick look and could not find it).
