R.I.P Casey Kasem

Would like to pay tribute to Casey Kasem the voice of "Shaggy" from Scooby-Doo and host of '80s show America's Top Ten has died.

remember watching several late night rundowns and enjoyed his colourful presentation style & jumpers!! Another link to the 80's music era lost.

Well remember we used to get his "America's Top 10" show late on a Sunday evening on ITV in the early 90s.

It was ironic that he voiced the gluttonous, burger-chomping Shaggy as he was a strict vegan and outspoken critic of factory farming. A political liberal, he narrated a campaign ad for George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, hosted fundraisers for Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, supported Ralph Nader for U.S. President in 2000, and supported progressive Democrat Dennis Kucinich in his 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns. Kasem supported a number of other progressive causes, including affordable housing and the rights of the homeless.
