Re: Radio personality Casey Kasem reportedly gravely ill, close to death
What was that transcription from? Glad I know what the fucking up-tempo record they came out of was now. Being a long-time fan of Negativland, I bought that "U2" CD the day it came out and didn't think much of it before all the attention started. Always thought the lawsuit from U2's record company (the band themself was actually OK with it) was stupid as the cover showed a U2 spyplane. But besides that, Casey Kasem himself wasn't too pleased about that getting out and threatened to sue if it ever came out again.

I remember Kasem did the VH1 best video countdown in 97, so he was still doing a variation of it

I only have 10 slots for my deathpool team at work for 2014. If is untrue then it's scrambled eggs all over my face.

Casey Kasem's whereabouts unknown: Investigator ordered to track down ailing radio host
A judge on Monday ordered an investigation into the whereabouts of Casey Kasem after an attorney for the ailing radio personality's wife said the former "Top 40" host had been removed from the country.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy ordered a court investigator and adult protective services to find out where Kasem is being treated and report back to the court. Kasem, 82, suffers from advanced Parkinson's disease, can no longer speak and has been in various medical facilities chosen by his wife, Jean Kasem.
Casey Kasem's children have complained that they have been unable to see their father in accordance with an agreement with their stepmother. Daughter Kerri Kasem had sought a temporary conservatorship and was appointed her father's temporary caretaker on Monday. Her attorney, Troy Martin, said the family believes the entertainer has been taken to an Indian reservation in Washington state.
Murphy's order came after Craig Marcus, an attorney who appeared on Jean Kasem's behalf at Monday's hearing, said he did not know where the radio personality was but knew that he had been removed from the country.
"I have no idea where he is," Marcus said.
The revelation brought stunned protests from Murphy and two of Casey Kasem's daughters, two of the entertainer's three children from a previous marriage.
"Your statements concern me even more," the judge told Marcus, who declined to comment after the hearing.
Marcus said in court that Jean Kasem had every right to move her husband as she saw fit.
Murphy appointed a doctor to look into Casey Kasem's care and ordered a court-appointed attorney to find out his whereabouts as soon as possible.
Casey Kasem gained fame with his radio music countdown shows, "American Top 40" and "Casey's Top 40," and was the voice of Shaggy in the cartoon "Scooby Doo."
As temporary conservator, Kerri Kasem will have access to her father's medical records and other reports that have previously been sealed by court order.
Kerri Kasem's case is the second one opened by one of the former host's children to try to gain access to their father and have some oversight over his care. A previous case by daughter Julie Kasem was dismissed after she reached a settlement with her stepmother, but the daughter said Monday that agreement has been breached.
In a court filing last week, Kerri Kasem's attorneys wrote that the entertainer has been repeatedly moved without warning and his children have been unable to see him. The complaint accused Jean Kasem of elder abuse by isolating her husband from his family.
"We've been troubled for a long time," Kerri Kasem said after Monday's court hearing. She said Murphy's orders will ensure that the truth about her father's care comes out.
"Justice has been served today," she said.

Re: Radio personality Casey Kasem reportedly gravely ill, close to death
My grandfather graduated high school with him in Detroit. Spoke very fondly of him, I believe they were somewhat friendly, from what I recall.
This is certainly sad to read, I loved listening to him every week when I was younger. Hopefully it all turns out well.
