Not from 50 years ago … but Casey cracked me up this morning as I listen to the replay of the Nov. 2 1985 countdown:

I've probably told this one before, but I still chuckle whenever I think of Casey in the late 90s, playing it totally straight, announcing " … and that was 'bench' by Meredith Brooks …"
