He should have been on the stage today.....instead of the fainting goat.
He went into a diner in NY that was packed for breakfast, so he sat at the counter in the only empty place. Eventually the waitress got to the fellow onl his right, who said “English”, and was served an English Muffin.
When she got to the fellow on the left he said “Danish” and was served a Danish pastry.
The waitress came up to him to take his order. He said “Egyptian”.
If you remember, his wife was onCheers as the wife of Carla’s ex-husband!! SHe looked like a “genie”...and was a ditz. ANd that ugly man that wa the husband because the real life husband of Meredith Baxter Birney....til she went GAY!
Casey Kasem’s Countdown.
I listen to his rebroadcast of the Top 40 from the 80’s some weekends. Instant trip down memory lane
In other news, Case Keenam debuted with the Texans as quarterback.
Coincidence? I think not.
Sad. Although most credit Murray the K, a New York disc jockey, as being the first to play a Beatles record in America in late 1963, Casey Kasem was actually spinning The Beatles “From Me to You” on KRLA in Los Angeles in Feb of 1963, a full year before the group first came to the U.S. for the first time.
I had some good times listening to Casey Kasem’s countdowns.
All I can remember of this guy is his decidedly far, far leftie opinion on everything. As soon as I heard about that I lost all respect for him.
Yeah I hate to see anyone die, but I won’t lose any sleep over it.
(Valerie Harper is a recent exception, however.)
Ok, this time I am saying this seriously, not sarcastically: I thought this guy was already dead.
I’m going to Miss Casey and his American Top 40.I used to listen to that show a lot.
Trying to find the story where Rush sent Kasem a can of SPAM. Kasem, a vegetarian said he used it as a paperweight.
Well I think I have cholera.
So, what. Dead leftist? Bonus. I couldn’t care less.
Why not the Top 50? Or the Top 75?
Top 40 makes no sense. So you are in a band that records a catchy song and it makes it to number 41 in the Billboard Hot 100. Not a shabby achievement. Yet it never really was a hit because Casey Kasem never introduced it on the radio. Not even a sappy long distance dedication from a knocked up waitress named Gladys Knoblock in Joplin, Missouri to some truck driver hurtling down I-10 someplace in Tucson, Arizona desperately trying to get the heck away from Gladys. (Song was "Don't Give Up On Us Baby" by David Soul.)
Why you might not even have bothered recording the song at all!
The Top 40 is just so...arbitrary. A kick in the stomach for recording artists that fell just short of it.
I need to know...why the Top 40?
Like zoiks, man! Who will take over the role of Shaggy?!
