Always called him Terrence Trent Arby's... You are a funny guy! Arby's was founded in Boardman, Ohio, on July 23, 1964, by brothers Forrest (1922–2008) and Leroy Raffel, owners of a restaurant equipment business who thought there was a market opportunity for a fast food franchise based on a dish other than hamburgers. They wanted to call their restaurants "Big Tex", but that name was already used by an Akron business. Instead, they chose the name "Arby's," based on R. B., the initials of Raffel Brothers; although often mistaken for Roast Beef. ...and I lived in Poland, by Boardman for about 8 years when I was small. I went in the first Arby's many times in the mid-70s, until I moved out of the area in 1978.

How would an album countdown have worked on AT40? Would Casey have played the biggest hit from each featured album? Or what exactly? Not sure -- there wasn't much detail given in the promo, but I think it might have been a top 40 albums of the rock era kind of thing (rather than what was done on 8/5/72 with the current top 40 albums). Presumably it would've featured one song from each LP...but that's mostly my own speculation. If that never made 1982 AT40 Top 40 Albums of the Rock Era was a reality, the #1 album of all time would have been either Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" or the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack or the South Pacific Soundtrack or the Grease Soundtrack or the West Side Story soundtrack. Although a year later in 1983 Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album and 2 years later Prince's "Purple Rain" album both would almost set records.

And even if such a countdown had actually been aired, Premiere might never have offered it, at least officially, as most of the music would have been pre-1980s. Other than the Christmas shows most of the specials they offer to 70s or 80s affiliates consist mostly or entirely of music from their respective decades.

Maybe the "Top 40 Albums of the Last 10 Years" would have been better for a 1982 AT40 special.

Programming Note: This weeks AT40 the 80's may start a little later than 3 PM. Magic 103.1 / WTOJ is running an Elvis Presley special at noon on Saturday which could push back the start of Casey. We're celebrating the movie this weekend and the Legend of a King.

They probably could call the brisket "roast beef" but they're locked into calling the beef-flavored loaf "roast beef". It is good though!

Where I live, most of the nearby Arby’s are gone. But for roast beef sandwiches we have Roy Rogers, who does it better anyway IMO.

This week's LDDs were "Beth" and "You're Having My Baby".
