RIP DON BUSTANY 1928-2018

A man whom I have a hell of a lot of respect has passed away.

Many of you who stop by this blog may know I am an American Top 40 freak. I am obsessed with the charts and countdowns from 1970-1989 and you already know that the late Casey Kasem is someone I consider to be the greatest man ever to work in radio.

Well, Don Bustany was the co-creator of American Top 40 along with Kasem, and the two of them made the countdown what it was. Bustany passed away today at the age of 89.

Don also started American Country Countdown and he was the last of the 4 men who made AT40 what is was before Ryan Seacrest ruined it. Next to my mother, Kasem and Bustany were my musical inspirations.

I hate writing this stuff, especially when it's someone who has really impacted your life in a great way. RIP Don, and thanks for all the memories that still live on today.
