ALL THE NEWS THAT IS NEWS
CASEM ALERT AND COMFORTABLE We love Casey Kasem and his American Top 40 countdown as well as his voice as Norville [Shaggy] Rogers in the Scooby-Doo cartoons. From 1970 until his retirement in 2009, we enjoy Casey’s American Top 20 and American Top 10. In addition to his radio shows, we hear Kasem’s memorable voice in many commercials. On Sunday, June 1, 2014 CNN reports that 82 year old legendary radio personality Casey Kasem enters the emergency room at St Anthony Hospital in Gig Harbor, WA suffering from Lewy body disease, a form of dementia. Hospital spokesman Scott Thompson says in a written statement: Mr. Kasem is alert, appears comfortable at this time. Our prayers go out to Casey Kasem in his time of need.

TV REPORTER BUSTS HER TAILBONE WOAI TV NBC CH 4 San Antonio, TX Emmy award-winning anchor and investigative reporter Delaine Mathieu won’t be sitting in the anchor chair for awhile. Blaise Labbe, WOAI TV news director, confirms that reporter Mathieu breaks her tailbone during Saturday’s Gladiator Rock ‘n Run obstacle course race last weekend. Delaine is out all week with the tailbone injury. Know very well the pain that she suffers because I experience the same injury from a motorcycle decades ago. It hurts to even sneeze. Mathieu complains: Sitting is definitely an issue. I’m on pain meds right now so reading is an issue as well…not to mention driving! When life gives you a donut and WAY too much free time…dying of boredom.

JIM SPUR (Houston, TX) You’re making me feel old. I was the PM jock on KXYZ/ABC from 1968 thru 1973. Our schtick was “Gentle on Your Mind” Music. We thought we were the best that had ever been until ABC sent to Houston a group called “research” people. I thought at the time that radio was over. It was. Jim S.

BILL INGRAM (Houston-Cleveland, TX) I was gone by the time KILT AM flipped to Sports. Before the flip to Sports, KILT AM flipped to Rodeo Country (After the K-Merle thing) and had Bob Tallman produce a lot of the imaging. I left in November of 1992.
KILT FM By the time that I arrive on KILT FM in 1991, its sister station KILT-610 already calls itself Rodeo Country with those silly Bob Tallman rodeo image liners. When Conway Twitty dies on June 5, 1993 we have none of his tunes in KILT FM control room. So, they dig up a few of his CDs from somewhere so that we can have a tribute to Conway Twitty day.
CHUCK DUNAWAY [former DJ on WABC-770, KLIF-1190, KBOX-1480 & KILT-610] (Houston-Katy, TX) Subject: Power Of Radio. In 1938 it took only ONE performance of a song, on just ONE radio show, to make that song an instant nationwide hit that would go on to be a popular standard even to this day. Just ONE “spin” by the right person on the right show, that’s all it took. A good reminder of the power of personality when it’s combined with great product and the power of radio — (www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIi0VUAAlaU)

CHARLES GEORGE (Dallas, TX) Subject: AM Radio. Moving the AM band to below the current FM band will not make AM Radio better. What will make AM Radio better is to offer quality programming not available on FM, the internet, or other sources. Also there are many services that use those frequencies beneath the FM band. As an amateur radio operator there are times when it makes good sense to go along with others, even if you are in the right, I live in an apartment complex so I usually only run 5 watts using a J-pole on my balcony. There are not that many who understand what amateur radio is or its uses, so why stir up trouble when not needed? 73, Charles George, KC5RAI
TRIVIA ANSWER: Hoyt Axton writes Three Dog Night’s Joy To The World (#1-1971) and Never Been To Spain (#5-1972), Ringo Starr’s The No No Song (#3-1975) and The Kingston Trio’s Greenback Dollar (#21-1963). In late 1955, Hoyt’s mom 41-year-old high school English teacher, Mae Boren Axton, takes a part-time position as a public relations secretary for Elvis Presley’s manger, Colonel Tom Parker. She tells Elvis: You need a million-seller and I’m going to write it for you. Mae Boren Axton pens The King of Rock and Roll’s first million seller, Heartbreak Hotel.
