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.

KT Tunstall "Suddenly I See"
A few months ago, LinkedIn suggested "Courtney" was someone I might know. I stared at her profile photo wondering why she looked so familiar. Neither her name nor job title really rang a bell. We also had zero connections in common. Why does LinkedIn think I know this person, I wondered? That's when it happened. I remembered I dated her a couple times in 2005. Yes, Courtney (or "Courtney with a U" as I referred to her). Courtney and I immediately found the "friend zone" after our first date. On St. Patrick's Day 2007, she texted me again asking if I wanted to get together. We tried again. No sparks. What I do remember about Courtney: her MySpace profile featured the quote "Everything around her is a silver pool of light" which is from KT Tunstall's song "Suddenly I See". She also claimed to be addicted to Diet Coke, cried easily and was upset after sleeping with her neighbor and not hearing from him.
