Casey Kasem is so well-known, I could (and maybe should) post this story on all 50 state message boards but, if I had to pick just one forum, the CHR discussion is probably the best place for it. This is really sad: Longtime DJ and American Top 40 host Casey Kasem, 81, has an advanced stage of Parkinson's disease and his wife Jean will not allow friends or family to visit him. The man who always urged his listeners to "keep reaching for the stars" deserves better.

On July 5, 2009 Casey hosted his final countdown show after 39 years. Here is an excerpt on good ol' YouTube:

Very unfortunate, especially since there are so many options for treatment today, mostly for the balance and tremor - and especially for a man with means - that eliminate the need for some medications even.
