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.

Jude Cole "House Full of Reasons"
A Midwestern boy with a dream to make it in the music business, Jude Cole dropped out of high school at 18 and boarded a prop plane bound for Southern California. Unlike many stories that start this way, Cole's story is quite different. Not only did he make it as a writer, performer and singer in the '80s and '90s, but Cole took what he learned from the music business and moved behind-the-scenes. He helped move the needle of the rock group Lifehouse from an unknown to a multi-platinum success story. Cole now serves as the manager of the rock band Lifehouse as well as actor Keifer Sutherland. At the end of 2017, Jude released his first album in years. Oh, and Jude happens to be married to Lori Pfieffer, the younger sister of Michele Pfieffer.
