Revisiting Tears Are Not Enough with Sean Quinlan

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,” the all-star charity single that brought together some of the country’s biggest musical names in the 1980s.

In this episode, Ryan is joined by Sean Quinlan—host of Excursions Radio and the voice of John Candy in our John Candy series—to revisit the song, the moment, the cultural weirdness, and the earnestness of it all.

It’s a morsel, not a meal.
