Thank You, Casey Kasem

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.

Poor Rene Russo……!

Why do filmmakers keep cutting out her best scenes in these “Thor” movies?!? (Damn, didn’t she used to be a major movie star?) She basically cameoed in the first, and [SPOILER ALERT!] died in the second!

Above is her cut scene from “Thor: The Dark World,” and below is her cut scene from “Thor.”

And, being the Cap fanatic I am, of course I loved the final version of the below scene. In the one that made the movies, Chris Evans cameos as Cap!
