Except Casey had no "devotion" to "centrist pop" or whatever the fuck. By his own admission, he wasn't much of a music fan, and never listened to music unless he was doing his show.
Whatever his affinities, he definitely conveyed a sense of community that was real. He seemed to believe in it. And he was very good.

The local oldies station in San Diego plays entire '70s era AT40 shows on Sunday mornings. They sound fantastic and seem to have been preserved beautifully.

They play one every Sunday here in Cleveland, too. It is incredible how many songs from the 70s have faded into obscurity.

Every time I see this guys name, I always think of one of two things: one is "Run, Scoob!", the other is "Diddly shit! Diddly shit!" over an elevator muzak version of a U2 track.
YOU, TOO - MAKE YOUR OWN: One of the most beloved voices in music radio, Kemal Amin “Casey” Kasem, died on Fatherʼs Day 2014 after a long illness, and also a very public family squabble over his continuing care. Negativland pays tribute to this broadcasting legend by reaching into its vaults and presenting what is perhaps Kasemʼs best-known work, on Negativlandʼs long-unavailable “U2” maxi-single, offering up for public consumption (and now, for creative reuse) what has been hidden from view for 23 years.
In 1991, Negativlandʼs “U2” single had one of the shortest releases in music history, squashed like a bug after less than ten days on store shelves, under legal fire from the Irish rock band U2ʼs music publisher (Warner/Chappell) and then-record label (Island). The history of this fracas was detailed in Negativland’s book and CD release, “Fair Use: The Story of the Letter U and the Numeral 2” (Seeland 013).
Now, instead of merely reissuing the “U2” record itself, Negativland presents, for free digital download, the original un-mixed studio multi-track tape "stems" for re-mixing, re-purposing and re-inventing in whichever way the listener may choose. Negativland encourages the re-contextualization of this seminal work for whatever reason, whatsoever. In keeping with the working methods and philosophy of Negativland, and the Fair Use provision in U.S. Copyright Law (Section 107,http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html), the group offers up this raw material in the hopes that entirely new versions of the work are created and disseminated.
