I saw on the news tonight that Casey Kasem has retired from radio after approx. 40 years of doing American Countdown. Of course we'll probably all remember him more for giving voice to the phrase "Boys in Grey".

I saw that too. He also gave voice to Shaggy on the original Scooby Doo!
He had a good run though, and he's not getting any younger. I'd say 78 is a good age to retire.

Original? He's done Shaggy for most of the animated adventures he's been through since the 60s up til now.

Wow...I was told Kasey Kasem had died YEARS ago when they officially stopped doing the countdown. I remember listening to it just like...8-9 years ago I want to say, and when they stopped I was told it was becasue he had passed on. Man, I was WAY off.

Stupid joke or did you not read the thread?

He's not dead... just retired.

I think he's trying to insinuate that since he's retiring he'll die soon

Just because the guy is 78 years old doesn't mean he's knocking on death's door... He could live well into his 90's.

I realized that, but I can think of at least two examples off the top of my head of people dying very shortly after retiring...
