Casey

I’ve told several people that I didn’t know what white radio was until I was in my early teens, in the early 80s. What I don’t mention was that when I did “discover” white radio, I found (? was told about?) Casey Kasem and that was it. Casey Kasem and “American Top 40” WAS radio to me.

When I decided I wanted to be a broadcaster, I started to imitate Casey Kasem. Listen to me read something today, and you’ll hear me pause before the last three words or so of a paragraph. That’s me still doing Casey Kasem.

And, Speaking of “Star Trek” (re: Levar Burton Reading Rainbow/Kickstarter Update)……………..

Star Trek

………….I found this a GREAT idea! They’ll make $5 million for sure, now! (Although they were going to, anyway 🙂 )

For some reason, I’ve become obsessed recently with the LYRICS to “Star Trek: TOS.” It’s a little known fact. Here they are (and good going, whichever fan sang this 🙂 ):

Beyond
 The rim of the star-light
 My love
 Is wand’ring in star-flight
 I know
 He’ll find in star-clustered reaches
 Love,
 Strange love a star woman teaches.
 I know
 His journey ends never
 His star trek
 Will go on forever.
 But tell him
 While he wanders his starry sea
 Remember, remember me.
