As I boarded the CTA train 45 minutes later, the rain fell heavier and faster. This didn't help my cause as I already didn't want to go, but there was no turning back That stormy evening, Petty sounded sharp as I stood under an umbrella on a rooftop deck less than a block from where Petty performed on Wrigley's soggy outfield grass. A couple months after Petty's Wrigley show, he was dead. The former gravedigger turned rock legend died from cardiac arrest, and all I could think about was how glad I was for Allison's text urging me out of my comfort zone.
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.
