Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Casey Kasem

Died June 15, 2014, age 82.

Just as important as Dick Clark in early pop and rock music, Casey got the tunes across.  I spent many an hour listening to his shows back in my deejay days to find out what the pop songs sounded like.  I could get the names of big songs from various lists, but I needed to hear them to see if I wanted to include them in my traveling songs for shows.

His was a very familiar voice.

Kind of always reminded me of the Mr. Rogers of the older kids.

Definitely will miss him.  --RoadDog
