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.

Fine Young Cannibals - "Good Thing"
I could go on and on about what I love about spring training baseball, but one of the more obscure reasons is that there's usually some old dude running the P.A. system. Sure this person sounds very old school when announcing the players, but the old dude uses the time between innings to bust out jams from 30 years ago. For example, I watched an abundance of spring games online in 2016 and during one particular game, the song "Good Thing" by Fine Young Cannibals played between innings of one game and then again later that week during a pitching change. Perhaps the guy running the P.A. system was once a huge Fine Young Cannibals fan. If not, maybe the team should think about investing in some new CDs before next season.
