Gee, I thought they weren't supposed to reveal the show's original air date until overnight Monday. Like someone asked in the 80s thread, what's your secret source? Sorry for asking, but why does anyone care when next week's show is revealed, or who reveals it?? Getting worked up about this makes zero sense... No problem, Matt. The reason I asked was not that someone wanted to benevolently get the information to us earlier than usual. I mean, that's happened in the past when our usual source has had to leave for vacation and had no access to a computer. No harm, no foul there. My concern was that this was being announced specifically because I had asked -- and speculated -- whether they would play a tribute special in memory of Casey Kasem, specifically the same one that they are reportedly playing for current AT40 affiliates. Because I don't like being shown up, and whether it was intended or not, that's how I took the announcement. FWIW: I had also asked whether such a special would be solely of older songs, clips and outtakes from the series' run, plus various interviews, instead of what some are saying this weekend's "AT40 with Ryan Seacrest" show will be (the regular countdown with classic clips added in) and would naturally cause classic hits/oldies affiliates to stay away from such a show.

That's your problem you took it that way. I got the info, I reported it apart from anything you said or did! Don't say no harm/no foul! I have never, ever given an announcement of a show. Why would I lie or do it for the sake of just doing so now?! For reasons I won't go into, I was told what it was and put it up! Period! I'm sorry it wasn't in your predetermined timing but I really don't care! I don't care you think I was "showing you up" either! I wasn't but you are free to feel however you want! You created an issue where there was none!

Briguy, this is my guess as far as what is going to happen:
• Premiere is going to continue their regular schedule of the shows they plan to offer.
• Various affiliates will likely run classic AT40 marathons consisting of previously run shows they acquired.
• Ryan Seacrest will likely do a regular countdown show next week interspersed with audio tributes from current celebs & short collages of Casey's voice on radio (and maybe television).
• I-Heart Radio has created a Classic AT40 channel where diehard Casey fans can tune in 24/7 to hear his old shows. The creation of this channel is itself a tribute.
I think this will cover all bases.

It was very difficult, for me, to listnen to the Episode from 1975. For some time, I listened to the show in tears.

Don't say no harm/no foul! I have never, ever given an announcement of a show. Why would I lie or do it for the sake of just doing so now?! Paul: I think you mistook what I stated. First, the "no harm/no foul" comment was directed at Matt, who asked why he thought I was getting worked up about something, and I answered him. Second, the timing of your announcement was at issue, as though I was talking nonsense about whether we'd hear a specially created tribute show to Casey Kasem for specific airing by classic AT40 affiliates. This was NOT whether you were telling the truth or whatever. Two different hints OK, we now know that this weekend's show is a regular show and originally aired June 24, 1978. Great. Looking forward to it. Life goes on. End of discussion. Brian

No, discussions not over and life doesn't "just go on." Yesterday I find out the person who usually posts the shows for the coming week wouldn't be doing it this week and that if I wanted, to do it. I did as a courtesy and did so when I found out. Everyone seemed appreciative, and when I answered mike saying I wasn't comfortable giving out who told me, that satisfied everyone....except of course you who decided to turn this into being about you. What in the hell do you see in my giving the show dates post that would point to you in any way?! There's no mention of you, no quotation, nothing?! And of all days to make it about you, YESTERDAY? !!!!! And before you say the above was all I needed to say in the beginning, no, I shouldn't have to say it! I shouldn't have to give some long explanation just to give the date of some show airing next week from the 70s and 80s. Yes, I think your idea all these stations were going to air the same show was ridiculous. Brett addressed why. If you choose to ignore business issues that's your red wagon, not mine. I wasn't going to bring it up and fight over it as it wasn't that big a deal to me. And by and large I still don't agree with a lot of what you say but I either ignore it or approach it without being so callous. Until this! The fact that you could actually turn my posts of show dates into being about you is absolutely incredible!

Optional extras for 6-24-78:
1. Copacabana-Barry Manilow (it is after midnight where I am now, so it is Manilow's b-day so i had to include an extra by him) 2. Life's Been Good-Joe Walsh 3. Boogie Oogie Oogie-A Taste of Honey
(I didn't look at everybody's optional extra list because I didn't want to be influenced. If my list matches someone else's, I'll replace the Joe Walsh song with Todd Rundgren's "Can We Still Be Friends."

Interesting "Whatever happened to" on this show... SSgt Barry Sadler had just released a new song. Well, it got a lot more interesting for Sadler. 3 years later he would kill songwriter Lee Emerson Bellamy in a dispute over a woman. Sadler was sentenced to 4-5 years for voluntary manslaughter and served 21 days. He had to pay $10,000 in restitution for wrongful death. Sadler himself was shot in the head in a robbery attempt while in Guatemala training Contra rebels in 1988, and died in 1989 from complications at age 49. There is not nor will there ever be another Casey Kasem, but Lou Simon does a great job on the SXM 60s Satellite Survey, which is where I remembered hearing about this. I liked it when William Shatner spoofed him as "Ollie North, The Mute Marine" on Saturday Night Live from November of 1986, sometime around when Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released! Also, when Bill Murray as Carl Spackler mumbles near the end of Caddyshack from 1980, "Silver wings upon their chest. These are men, America's best."!
