RE: Casey Kasem
Today's younger generation probably doesn't have as many commonalities as mine did. Back in the 70s, I'd have to say among my friends and acquaintances that I can't imagine anyone that did not catch the show, if not regularly, at least whenever they could.

I'll even admit to having a cassette recorder on hand many times to make a copy of something I really wanted to listen to again later. I lived in a rural area, no record stores within 40 miles, and a set of parents that really liked the 'easy listening' radio station format. If I did manage to snag some time with the radio, I would make cassettes to listen to later. Casey's show was fantastic, AT40 was all the good stuff I wanted to hear. Choices were so limited then (yeah, no SiriusXM back then) just having an outlet was wonderful. I was a farm kid, but during AT40, I was in New York, Chicago, LA, wherever the action was.

And it's all because of Casey Kasem.

I had a similar conversation regarding Bob Barker the other day.

I'm that way with Abe Vgoda. I think about once every 4 or 5 years I swear the guy's dead.... but, nope.
I swear he's going to outlive all of us here.
