OBIT - Tom Rounds
« on: June 05, 2014, 09:37:56 PM »
Tom Rounds, who helped launch the long running radio countdown show American Top 40 (AT40 for short) with original 1970-1988 and 1998-2004 host Casey Kasem and co-produced Don Bustany, died this week on June 2, 2014 at the age of 77.

This is definitely sad news for those of us who grew up listening to Casey's Top 40.  Of course, Rounds' death could not have come at a worse time, as Casey himself has been gravely ill for a few months and Casey's wife and daughter are currently in a legal dispute over who should take care of him.

Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

All this happens just as I discover Casey Kasem's American Top 40 through the '70s and '80s reruns. Rest in peace to Tom Rounds.

Perhaps you should practice what you preach, Steve.
