Casey Kasem No Longer the Voice Of the American Top 40

Forums: The Bar,

I grew up with Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40.
Never got to hear Casey Kasem I don't think except for Scooby Doo.

Wow, what news...

I think he was the voice of Shaggy - "zoiks!"

...."aaaaI don't like this, Scoob"

CBS News had the confirmation of his final show......Of course i will remember Casey Kasem for his role of Shaggy - The beast of all stoney dudes.

Only time I ever heard Casey Kasem was on the Ghostbusters, I once heard a blooper where he abused the crap outta someone on air or something.

Ghostbusters was a modern classic, I wonder if Caseys presence in that movie had something to do with selling the soundtrack. You have to order it from the US these days, its a quality album, bar two tracks.

I really don't like the Rick Dees presenter.

Essentially he started out presenting sports and came up with the concept of "teasing" with a series of "who was the artist who sold the most records in 2004 and has a major something or other deal with yadda yadda yadda." Hes so American I wanna puke. Its a pity we don't get Stern in this country. He's got good taste.

Anyway, he now presents the Adult Contemporary countdown with the same company I believe.
