The three adult children of radio host Casey Kasem have filed a legal petition to gain control of his health care.
The filing says Kasem is suffering from advanced Parkinson’s disease and is being isolated from his children, friends and family members by his wife.
The petition for conservatorship filed Monday brought a long-running family feud into the courts. The applicants, Julie, Kerri and Mike Kasem, contend that Kasem’s wife Jean refuses to tell them the name of their father’s primary care physician and they are unable to check on his condition. …

They're going to have to fight Obama for it!
“...Kasem....was also the voice of Shaggy in the cartoon “Scooby Doo.” “
I did not know this. And I can’t picture it, Shaggy just did not sound like Kasem. Which means he did a good job, I suppose....
Yes. I was going to post something about Shaggy, but you best me to it. :(
Too bad his kids have to have long-distance dedication.
Whenever Batman and Robin were guest characters on that cartoon, Kasem would pull double-duty as Robin’s voice.
Oh, sad. My very first job was for him. I actually didn’t know he was still alive. I have great memories of his countdown and my meager contribution to it. Prayers up that his loved ones can be with him at this time. I’m sure he must be missing them.
Ponderous man!
The children are calling her a, “trophy wife,” but they’ve been married for at least 25 years. She’s not some Jane-come-lately.
I guess Kasem will be a test case for the death panel. With Obama as Soloman, they will decide since the kids and the wife dispute who should have custody, the government with euthanize him to resolve the debate.
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
I couldn't find the audio for the U2 rant, but here it is: (expurgated)
That's the letter U, and the numeral 2. The four-man band features Adam Clayton on bass, Larry Mullen on drums, Dave Evans, nicknamed "The Edge", on --this is (redacted)! Nobody cares!
These guys are from England, and who gives a (redacted)?
It's a lot of wasted names that don't mean diddly-(redacted)!
This is (redacted). This is (redacted). Who gives a (redacted)?
Diddly-(redacted). Diddly-(redacted). Diddly-(redacted). Nobody cares!
She was great on Cheers but as a stepmom doesn’t ever seem to have had a relationship with the kids. Stress can have a large influence on Parkinsons symptoms so they need to get together on a conservatorship for Casey and allow him to leave out these final years in peace if for nothing else.
Hopefully Casey can keep his feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars
It’s sad that that snippet will probably be the most memorable few seconds of a great career but it is still very funny.
Nothing like the $$$$ of a large estate to tear a family apart.
The person doesn’t have to even be dead before they start
circling like vultures.
I tell anyone with any assets of significance to put
what they wish to leave to people in trusts held for
those particular people and to be very specific about
who gets how much, what and why. And to make a
recording of them reading these decisions. Such declarations
are about as ironclad as our current capricious judiciary
system allows.
Using a will is sometimes worse than no will.
Intestate laws for estates with no will are pretty
much law and not subject to much fighting.
Wills on the other hand are like prenups....they are
constantly being ignored and altered by judges with
agendas. Wills can easily dissipate 50% or more of an
estates assets if ANYONE contests in any way.
If the fighting goes on long enough the entire estate and
more can be spent on legal fees and court costs.
Contested wills are big business for greedy shysters and
their evil comrades on the bench.....every bit as lucrative
as the contested divorce industry that allows so many soul
less lawyers to live like robber barons.
One of my few brushes with fame was getting my Long Distance Dedication on American Top 40 on April 6, 1983. By the way, they schedule those things many months in advance (I mailed it in August, 1982).
wife of 30 years, sounds to me like the kiddies are sticking their noses where they don't belong.
I did not know till relatively recently that Casey was an Arab American of “palestinian” origin.
