Also, how did Casey Kasem get to be the "Top 40" guy? He was always annoying to listen too: "...and now, three men who hail from Australia and call themselves the Bee Gees...moving up eleven big spots this week, all the way up to number 13 with a bullet, here they are with their latest dance number to make a run for the top of the charts..."
And then you had those corny long distance dedications: "Judith Pedgrift from Joplin, Missouri writes in to tell us about her brother who abruptly left her to find fame and fortune in Hollywood, California and would like to dedicate So You Are A Star by the Hudson Brothers for him to wish him good luck..."
Almost as annoying as the stuff he played.
