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.

John Legend - "P.D.A (We Just Don't Care)"
John Legend performed during a morning show broadcast for the Hot Adult Contemporary radio station where I worked in 2007. At that time, Legend was a relatively unknown outside the R&B format and was promoting "P.D.A. (We Just Don't Care)"--his third single from his Once Again album. A year earlier, I heard the album in its entirety and declared myself a big fan of Legend's. It was quite an honor during that rainy April morning in 2007 when I had to to stand in the rain with an umbrella in hand while walking Legend from his limo to his dressing room for the morning show broadcast. Later, I awkwardly asked for a photo. Fortunately for me, I got the photo of me and John. Unfortunately for him, "P.D.A. (We Just Don't Care)" never charted in the US.
