RIP Casey Kasem

The Top 40 Countdown radioman has passed at 82 years young.
RIP Casey, you turned a whole generation or two or three onto some great music.

Kasey was famously a difficult perfectionist as reflected in the thoroughly professional results.

Listened to him till puberty or a little after. I still occasionally listen to the 70s reruns on weekends hereabouts.

And so much great voice work too. What would Scooby-Doo have been without Casey's Shaggy?

RIP Casey.

He was one of the few connections that overseas military brats had to the U.S. during the 1970s. We listened to his Top 40 show on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network (AFRTN) station.

I didn't know he was Shaggy! So he's also the reason I became a stoner
