<p>Before we head into a short break, we wanted to leave you with something special: a curious little detour into a very specific piece of Canadiana—“Tears Are Not Enough,”&nbsp;the all-star charity single that brought together some of the country’s biggest musical names in the 1980s.</p><br><p>In this episode, Ryan is joined by Sean Quinlan—host of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.excursionsradio.ca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Excursions Radio</em></a>&nbsp;and the voice of John Candy in our&nbsp;<em>John Candy</em>&nbsp;series—to revisit the song, the moment, the cultural weirdness, and the earnestness of it all. It’s a morsel, not a meal.</p><br><p>Consider supporting us here:&nbsp;patreon.com/KnockaboutMedia</p><br><p>Cited:</p><p><em>Tears Are Not Enough</em>&nbsp;(1985), directed by John Zaritsky</p><p>'Tears Are Not Enough,’ performed by Northern Lights, written by David Foster, Jim Vallance, and Bryan Adams, with additional French lyrics by Rachel Paiement, released in 1985.</p><br><p>*This program and all relevant content is for educational purposes only and to the best of our knowledge is being used under Fair Dealing/Fair Use Act guidelines and within Canadian and United States standards of fair dealing/fair use*</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
