This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.

Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way"
You can tour all of Europe without paying lots of money if you take a cue from a recent college grad named Anthony. Instead of booking hotels throughout eight countries and 22 cities, Anthony "Tinder Surfed". What is "Tinder Surfing"? Instead of using Tinder to look for someone to sleep with, Andrew looked for a place to sleep.
