I said ex-boss, not current boss.

I'm surprised this is not a universal experience based on these responses. Every candidate I've interviewed has given at least one ex-boss as a reference. Every reference I've ever given has been ex-bosses.

Do you believe someone who hasn't worked with the candidate in years is a useful reference for the candidate today ?

Yes, of course. Their personality hasn't radically changed from a couple years back.
