« on: April 24, 2009, 09:15:38 AM »
he'll be 77 (!) on Monday (4/27). Here's his famous meltdown:

Quote
"See? When you come out of those up-tempo goddamn numbers, man, it's impossible to make those transitions. And then you gotta go into somebody dying. You know, they do this to me all the time. I don't know what the hell they do it for, but goddamn it if we can't come out of a slow record, I don't understand it, is Don on the phone? Ok, I want a goddamn concerted effort to come out of a record that isn't a fucking up-tempo record every time I do a goddamn death dedication. Now make it- and I also wanna know what happened to those pictures I was supposed to see this week. It's the last goddamn time- I want somebody to use his fucking brain to not come out of a goddamn record that is- that's up-tempo and I've gotta talk about a fucking dog dying."


You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

If you listen to his AT40, you probably hear his commercial "Did you know having a pet may help you live longer?"   ha!

as long as you don't have to read about your dog dying, you'll live to be as old as Casey.

he obviously likes dogs, so he gets points for that.   more points if he likes cats.

Also, he might've lit into his producers unfairly on that infamous tirade about a dying dog, but the dude was right.  it was a bad juxztaposition.

They did the same thing the day after Jack Wrangler died!
