Oops.The late Casey Kasem said when he did "American Top 40" in 1973, "Dier Maker". Matt Clark Sanford, MI
Oops.
He was no Alex Trebek. Trebek pretty much uses the correct pronunciation for the "answers" on Jeopardy--that is one thing which stands out about him, and the show. You'd think Kasem, with all his trivia knowledge, would have gotten it right.
I guess by "trivia" I meant more like "attention to detail". Knowing little-known facts about the artists in his countdown, in other words. Then again, Kasem did go off on a rampage about someone's dog dying.
I think at that point, the only ones who knew how to pronounce it were the band!And I guess I should clarify what I meant was that since the record was brand-new, perhaps neither Casey nor anyone in the studio knew exactly how the oddly-spelled title was pronounced.
From the book, I have the impression he likes performing that music with the others, but cannot live with the baggage that goes with being Led Zep. The O2 concert actually came off quite well, with everyone in good form throughout, but I can't see it happening again. Thing is , if it were about the money, they would make a killing. They held a lottery for tickets to O2, and the response was crazy.I know that this is off-topic, but I agree with Robert Plant poo-pooing any reunion plans.
.... From music there was the rise of Amy Winehouse and a spate of reunions by British groups—the Police, the Spice Girls, Pink Floyd at London’s Live Earth concert, and also Led Zeppelin.
Of them all, Zeppelin’s comeback had the most seismic impact. The band’s return for a single concert at London’s O2 Arena at the end of the year sparked an almighty scrum for tickets, many millions around the world entering an online ballot for the 18,000 available.

“Robert really, really didn’t want to do that reunion,” says Benji LeFevre. “He called me up about it several times. Reading between the lines and through the conversations that we had I could tell he was apprehensive about it before they even got together. Then there were things that happened in the run-up to the gig that were just so predictable. But what better way to sign off? Twenty million applications for tickets.”
