Rest well, Mr. Kasem. You will be missed
....this is a nice bit(despite Jean's appearance)on his final AT-40....
I listened to American Top 40 with Casey when I was in high school, but it was really when I was studying abroad in Germany in college that I reveled in hearing both his voice and the (mostly) American music from across The Pond. I had a shortwave radio and could pick up the broadcast from L.A., and then hear it again a week later on Armed Forces Radio Network. It was like having a hit of M-TV, old-fashioned radio, and rapid American English all at the same time, at a time when I missed watching TV in English and hearing English radio broadcasts with decent music. (No offense to the Germans here, but German pop music leaves quite a bit to be desired.)
Kasem was a favorite of mine, like a soft and fuzzy blanket in radio form. Seacrest is no comparison to him.

Oh.. he's gone? 
I hope you find rest... thank you so much for the The American Top 40 fun... they were such good times.

RIP Casey!!!!! (now the litigation between family members begins)
That's the shame of it. I can see his wife trying to cut the kids out.
...all Jean deserves is a big old bowl of Tough Ti*ios!....
I think maybe we should try not to judge. There seems to have been major disagreement on end-of-life treatment. It's never easy to make that decision. It's also never easy to sit back while someone else makes the decision opposite to what you want.
I hope the family all can heal and be at peace.
Loved listening to AT40 back in the day...a fond farewell.
...agreed, but my point is-Jean was well aware that he had an Advance Directive in place, and chose to ignore his wishes...
I like this one. Thank you
