I remember it well. He also used to DJ a lot of local dances that my friends attended and he would mention their names over the radio the following week. I never went to one myself.
“He also used to DJ a lot of local dances that my friends attended...”
Reminds me of the DOORS song from “American Prayer”. DJ, TV showman, came to my homeroom party. Hmmm - might even be about Casey Kasem??

The music was new
black polished chrome
And came over the summer
like liquid night.
The DJ’s took pills to stay awake
and play for seven days.
They went to the studio
And someone knew him
Someone knew the TV showman.
He came to our homeroom party
and played records
And when he left in the hot noon sun
and walked to his car
We saw the chooks had written
F-U-C-K on his windshield.
He wiped it off with a rag
and smiling cooly drove away.
He’s rich. Got a big car.
