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.

Pink "Who Knew"
Credit Pink for ripping Kanye West a new one during his infamous MTV Video Music Awards spectacle in 2009. I know, it's hard to believe it's been a decade since a drunken Kanye stole Taylor Swift's moment. Kanye allegedly carried a bottle of Hennessey on the red carpet and that didn't do him any favors a few hours later when Taylor won "Best Female Video". Kanye charged the stage, stole Taylor's moment and the audience gasped. Swift cried, Beyonce cried, Kanye was ejected from the awards show, and eventually the world moved on...but not before a visibly angry Pink got in Kanye's face and shared a few choice words. Later that evening, Pink tweeted out that "Kanye is the biggest piece of shit on earth." Have a great day.
