A young disc jockey in Oakland, California was asked to give up his on-the-air humor by the station manager, who, to put it nicely, wasn't impressed. Contemplating what to do, the disappointed disc jockey pulled a discarded magazine from a waste basket. In it he noticed biographies, record-sales statistics, and interesting facts about pop singers and musicians. That night, before playing a song, he entertained listeners with interesting anecdotes and obscure information about the artist. Then he would identify the singer after playing one of their songs. Listeners responded, the station manager was pleased, and Casey Kasem was off and running. His nationally syndicated "American Top 40" radio show became a resounding success. Casey Kasem definitely matches Andrew Carnegie's definition of success. "I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line," he said, "is to make yourself master of that line!" Casey Kasem is the Master of Music Trivia. Quote this article on your site | Views: 218 | Print | E-mail
