Long Distance Dedications
I don't know if anyone else grew up listening to Top 40 countdown shows but I was always a bit obsessed with the Long Distance Dedications. I've been collecting original broadcasts for years and just transcribing all of them in a document, for my own amusement.
Some friends enjoyed them so I started a Tumblr, posting one a day or so

I don't know if anyone else finds them interesting.
Did anyone ever write one of these in or get one on the air?

Awesome. I used to listen to these growing up. Usually it was a night, sitting in the back seat with my parents driving.

They got replaced by 5-second shoutouts on TRL.

Re: Long Distance Dedications
A sad world without these.
I'm always amazed at the personal and usually sad details people share in these, and then top it off with "Please play Get Out of Me dreams (and into my car) by Billy Ocean"
I actually think just the regular Dedications are funnier than the Casem rant. Some of these are completely mental, I recommend checking out the one titled "Mystery', all 100% real.

Re: Long Distance Dedications
I update this pretty much every day, if people are interested. Weirdly I've been getting a ton of positive feedback about it. Here's me thinking I was the only one who found these amusing.
