It was always fun to scan the Brady's Bits just to get a quick rundown on the celeb being interviewed to see if you're going to give a shit to invest a whole 3 minutes to read the page about Casey Kasem's bio..
My husband once left him a voicemail about three mistakes (not typos) in one Sunday Parade column and he actually called back to make a grumpy sort of an apology.
Some years back, I was new to New York, and worked at a joint for which he occasionally wrote. He had use of a desk which, hilariously, happened to share a cube wall with mine.
Sometimes he'd land there for days on end, then he'd disappear for weeks, I figured landing at some other desk he had the use of.
I always found him to be a friendly old codger to bump into by the coffee. I didn't, at the time, have any idea he was "legendary".
When he was there he'd spend the entire day yapping on the phone to people about his Korea books. Literally all the live long day, and it was a riot. I couldn't figure out when he ever took a moment to write one of his namedrop extravaganzas.

I kind of liked him for that.
