Casey Kasem retires after 39 years

[Ramy]

After 39 years of doing the American Top 40/20 this past weekend he did his last broadcast. I personally thought he quit doing it long ago.

I don't listen to broadcast radio and haven't for years, but I like the weekend "classic Top 40's" they have on Sirius on the 80's channel...

I didn't know the guy was still alive.

I'll be honest, I didn't know he was still doing it either. I thought someone else took over years ago. Very recognizable voice though!

Neither did I.

Kasey is a weekly staple for me, I listen to him every week on Sirius XM's 70's and 80's channels. (In fact its one of the things keeping me a subscriber to Sirius XM.)

I grew up with Casey and listening to his show takes me back, when its on and hes talking I can almost remember exactly where I was and memories from that time period.

Thanks Casey for all the memories!

Ryan Secrest took over the American Top 40 a few years ago. Kasem was doing the American Top 20.

Me too, although that might not even be enough to keep me subscribing for much longer.

In your best Casey Kasem voice - "I first heard this song while the wife and I were trying position #87 from the Karma Sutra back in 1966!"

Hmmm, you were 8 and she was 5. Very early start there Paul...

 

[Paul Wozniak]

LOL! My wife is not that old, though. Actually she would have been 1.

Aha, a true cradle robber!

Wow! I haven't heard Casey Kasem on the radio since the early '80s. Hey, doesn't he provide the voice for Shaggy of Scooby-Doo fame?

I wonder if he has recorded his own death dedication!!

I knew he was still kickin and had heard him not that long ago but I had thought he was doing this since the 50's. Well it's a sign of the times I guess and maybe he's gettin out while the gettins good considering that three or four people he probably knew have kicked the hollywood H in the last month.
