If you turned on the radio during the summer of 1993, you might think it was still 1983 as both Duran Duran and Tears for Fears had new music on the radio. For Duran Duran, "Ordinary World" was the former super group's comeback anthem. The ballad found success on Top 40, Adult Contemporary, and Rock radio stations.

This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.
