I had a work function yesterday that required a two hour morning drive to the event. In the rush of grabbing my purse and putting on my heels I forgot to grab my cd's. So I quickly started flipping channels on the radio. Then suddenly there he was....Casey Kasem!
Holy Shit! I thought he is still alive wait alive and STILL on the radio? Why did I think goofy Ryan Seacrest took over his position? Wow! I could not help but to keep the channel there for a while and listen. BTW didn't Casey's top 40 used to be on Saturday mornings? I believe I clearly remember listening and it could not have been on Sundays because I would have been in church. When did they switch to Sundays?
I just remember my teen years, especially my early teen years (13 - 16), listening to him. I'm sure you all remember the long distant dedications, but do you remember having to listen all morning to catch the ONE song you wanted to "tape" on the tape deck? Remember you had to press record when the song started and stop it when it ended and you just prayed and hoped that Casey didn't talk over the last part of the song. Gosh -- I feel old now!!!
On another note, yesterdays long distant dedication was to a dead person. Hmmm just how long distant do his dedications go???

Oh I remember those Sunday mornings with Casey on the radio listening to the list of top songs.
OMG that so brings back memories. Love it!
Yes, I do remember trying to listen for that "one" song to record, and either just missing it, or starting the recorder too late, or having someone walk in while taping and ruin the whole thing.
Thank goodness for illegal downloading *win*
TAPING CASEY KASEM! YES! Oh, girl, you just made my day. Albeit you made me feel old, but nostalgic none the less.
I used to LOVE Casey Kasem!!!
