Casey said in an 1988 radio interview that appearing in "The Night That Panicked America" was one of the highlights of his career. That's odd, considering he had such a minor role that his character didn't even get a name, just "Mercury Theatre Player." |

When you consider that Casey grew up exposed to theatre-of-the-mind radio programs of the 30s and 40s, and that he later became a national radio personality, to return to his roots even in a minor role had to be rewarding. |

Casey never did any old time radio shows in the waning days of old time radio. Although Casey did voice in a few episodes of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater radio show in the 1970's. |

WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin is now airing the AT40: The 70's 10/20/1973 this Saturday morning.
Let's hope when WVLI Kankakee, Illinois plays this show this afternoon when it plays AT40: The 70's 10/20/1973 it doesn't skip a segment like WVLI did for 10/17/1970 last week.

On the weekend of April 9, 1994, I don't believe Casey nor Rick mentioned Kurt Cobain's death from 4 days earlier, even though "All Apologies" was on the countdown. Not sure what Shadoe said. There was no mention by Casey in either 4/9 or 4/16 (its final week in the 40), at least either before or after the song was played. And since it wasn't charting on AT40, I don't think Shadoe mentioned anything. Judging by the cue sheets, no mention, unless it was in one of the "AT40 Music News" bits (which it wasn't on the 4/9 show). |

I do know of a Kurt Cobain tribute back in the day. I don't think that any of the countdown shows did a tribute, but there was a show that I used to listen to on Sunday nights called Metalshop with "The Butcher" Charlie Kendall that did a montage of Nirvana's hits paying tribute to Kurt Cobain. That show ended at the end of 94 just around the same time AT40 with Shadow ended.

For the 2nd weekend in a row, WQOK is playing an alternate show from 1975. Guess this has something to do with their slow recovery from the hurricane.

I used to have a 'scoped' (only the intros/outros of the songs) cassette of this 10/20/73 show that I recorded off of KHYT. I remembered that because the tape was getting near the end of side 'B' of the cassette and I was worried that I had restarted "Ramblin' Man" too soon. Casey sure let the long outro of that song play for a while on this particular show. As I recall, I barely squeezed in the end of "Angie" and just the very start of Casey's end-of-show wrap-up when the tape ran out. Normally I would be annoyed at having #1 spoiled (I actually thought it was "Midnight Train To Georgia) but in this case now I know I can turn the show off a little early. Only Stones song I can honestly say I hate. You and me both. With the exception of "As Tears Go By", the Stones simply did not do very good with ballads (mind you, this is merely an opinion and nothing more). |

The weakest ballad The Rolling Stones ever released was "Fool To Cry" in 1976.

The weakest ballad The Rolling Stones ever released was "Fool To Cry" in 1976. A decent song, IMO. And my favorite Stones 'slow song' is on that same LP ("Black and Blue") but wasn't a single (for some reason only that sole 'Fool to Cry'/'Hot Stuff' single was released): "Memory Motel"--love that track. |
