In addition to the AT40 stuff, the thing I remember most about Casey Kasem was the way he spoke up on behalf of Lebanese-Americans and others of Middle Eastern heritage, saying, “Please don’t assume or treat us all as if we are all terrorists. We are Americans too and we love our country too.” RIP, sir. ---
