  5. *** A Personal History of Music Appreciation ***

    1970s: FM radio (AM in the car), American Top 40 (Casey Kasem!)

    1980s: radio and 120 Minutes plus LPs and CDs

    1990s: used CDs and dirt cheap LPs and 45s

    2000s:P2P, torrenting, MP3 blogs, SomaFM; LPs and CDs persist!

    2010s: Kids, streaming

    2020s: FM radio (KALX, KDFC, KCSM), American Top 40 (Ryan Seacrest (no exclamation point))

  6. A couple of weeks ago, I shared my love of Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40, and my love of listening to him occasionally on Sunday mornings.

    This week, I've shifted gears in the other direction. Casey Kasem's American Top 40 is on the radio today, a flashback episode from August 22, 1987.

    Kasem was a staple when I had sleepovers at my grandparents, so while I listened to him less...this show in some ways is more nostalgic for me. :)

    Tune your dials...come listen to past hits with me. 💕

    TIL I learned that Ryan Seacrest has been “hosting" American Top 40 for longer than Casey Kasem ever did. 🤯

    (to be fair, I think he now hosts like once a month; rest are guest hosts)

  8. It's been a years-standing thing for me: Saturday morning I listen to the #70sOn7 channel on #SiriusXM for an #AmericanTop40 rerun. Every week they pick an old AT40 show. Today's was this week in 1973. I normally prefer the later 70s ones, but this one had some bangers...

    Today in 2004 — #CaseyKasem hosted his final #AmericanTop40 radio show.

    You can listen to classic 1970s and ‘80s episodes on the #iHeartRadio app!

    Is there still an end of the year final countdown for American Top 40? I would listen to Casey Kasem every New Year’s Eve as a kid. #Top40 #AmericanTop40
