The countdown has ended. RIP, Case.
Rest in Peach.
RIP, Casey.
RIP, Casey. You provided the soundtrack for so many of my weekends back when I was a teenager.
Sorry to hear. Loved him for the top 40 - every week. Then the big countdown for the year around New Year’s - I recorded from that.
Also, Shaggy and the like (Alexander, etc) from Hanna-Barbera. My son will miss him, too. He did that in the revivals of Scooby, too.
Sad that at the end of his life, his family became so contentious. May he now find peace.
RIP Casey.
Still around?

Judge orders Casey Kasem’s water, food, medications restored
Los Angeles (CNN) — A Los Angeles judge ordered doctors to resume water, nutrition and medication infusions for Casey Kasem on Monday.
The decision came during a hearing in which a lawyer for the iconic radio host’s wife accused Kasem’s daughter of denying food, water and medication to her father to hasten his death.
Monday’s hearing was the latest in a series of court battles over control of health decisions for Kasem, 82. He suffers from Lewy body dementia, which has no cure, according to court documents.
The retired “American Top 40” host is in critical condition at St. Anthony Hospital in Kitsap County, Washington, where his wife, Jean Kasem, took him last month amid the legal dispute with her stepchildren.

Ruh-Roh Shaggy’s gone.Hope they have Scooby Snacks in heaven.
Was the voice of “Shaggy Rodgers” and Meriadoc Brandybuck in the 1980 Cartoon of “The Return of the King”.
I grabbed a copy of ‘Billboard’ every week so I could ‘spoil’ Casey’s show before it was broadcast in our area...great way to skip over the crap I didn’t want to listen to...
RIP Casey.
American Icon if there ever was one.
Listening to the countdown in the 70’s and 80’s was a treat.
Now the fight over his estate can begin in earnest —
He’s counting them down with Allah now.
And the family starts suing each other in 3....2....
He was a public icon I bumped into only rarely. When I did, he seemed like a decent positive individual. I’ll miss the guy.
Evidently so will a number of men who served in Korea.
RIP.
Ponderous.
