Love him or hate him, you’ve got to respect a guy with the staying power of Casey Kasem.
Here’s a note from someone I would put in the ‘hate’ column. I’ll skip all of the long, verbose, irrelevant details and jump right to the part about Casey. Our author works Sunday mornings during the time Casey is on KTI at an easting establishment that plays KTI:
… For the love of God, can you please kill off Casey Kasem? The sound of his voice on the radio makes me sick. I am forced to hear his dreadful countdown every week and by the time he gets to number one I am actually feeling nauseous. His stupid long distance dedications have the credibility of a Penthouse Letter and if I hear “keep reaching for the stars” one more time, I might actually scream …
On the other side of the spectrum, we get calls & letters from true fans – a few so ardent they collect shows. Again: you love him or you hate him. I just get a chuckle out of this poor guy’s stressing out as the countdown rolls on. I’m thinking about showing up some Sunday morning to have a late breakfast – say around 11:30. Look for the guy gripping the side of his head “…as the countdown rolls on.”
In fact, Casey has made some pretty big contributions to the pop/entertainment world. Here is a great site that spells it all out:

BEHIND THE SCENES ALERT: If you ask anyone in the biz what is the first thing that comes to mind when they hear Casey Kasem – most will say “Snuggles the Dog.” Like many of the old-timers in the biz, Casey is not a nice and “squeaky” clean as he comes across over the air. Some producer that was looking for a little revenge kept an outtake from an old American Top 40 recording session where Casey went off on … well everyone. You can hear it unedited or uncensored by clicking the link below.
WARNING: The following link uses explicit language … the kind we could never use on the air. But as this in the internet, “F-Bombs” are allowed. Please do not click the link unless you are 18+ and want to hear the real Casey Kasem.

This weekend, Casey counts down the top 60 songs of the year beginning Sunday morning @ 9am. We will repeat the entire countdown again @ 3pm. Man, I hope that guy has New Year’s Eve off!
