“Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”

Thank you, Casey. If I listen to 80s music much more than music from any other decade, you're part of the reason why.
Rome 1985-86. A friend of mine introduced me to the American Top 40, recorded off the radio on cassette. And Casey introduced me to music I still listen to - Bon Jovi, Bruce Hornsby, Huey Lewis and the News, Starship, and so many others!
That was also the era of Miami Vice and "the cop with no socks" Don Johnson was everywhere with the show and his debut album, Heartbeat. More than the songs, it was Casey's snippets of information about the artists and songs that made the Top 40 so listenable and likable.
RIP, Casey. I'm hard pressed to think of any other radio personality with your impact.
