Peppered with various anecdotes and perspectives, he opens up his archives and offers more than 100 AT40 illustrations - memos, documents, advertisements, photographs, script cards, radio surveys and much more - to give a "Casey's coast-to-coast" inside look at the America's favorite hit parade. Finally, he provides his own 'confessions' describing how AT40 became a weekly habit.
