If you could send out a long distance dedication to Casey Kasem in honor of his upcoming retirement, what would it be?

I think Pilot of the Airwaves by Charlie Dore would be appropriate.

I'd send out "Thank You For The Music" by ABBA.

"Thank You For The Music" sounds like a nice choice. For my own choice, I'd pick "The Voice" by Moody Blues.

In a way Casey did it in 1988 I would choose any of "I'll Be There" or "I'll Be There For You" 'cause he's not gonna leave the airwaves as he keeps to be on with his 70's and 80's rebroadcasts. Thus no reason to speak about retirement. In other words "It Ain't Over Til It's Over"...
