Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.

Buckcherry - "Sorry"
I still cannot hear Buckcherry's melodramatic ballad "Sorry" without also hearing the voice of Marty Moose from "National Lampoon's Vacation". After driving his family in a metallic pea green station wagon from Chicago to California, Clark Griswold finally makes it to Wally World where he's met by the park's mascot with a note saying to push the button. One push of the button was all it took to crush Clark's dreams as the moose said, "Sorry folks, the park's closed for two weeks to clean and repair America's favorite family fun park. Sorry. Uh-hu-uh-hu-uh-hu."
