RIP Dick Clark. I still remember all the years I watched him doing New Years Eve through the 80's and early 90's.

RIP Clark. His last few years of hosting New Years Rockin' Eve were kinda depressing. I think he had suffered a stroke and basically stumbled his lines throughout the entire evening.

I still remember the time he was on Howard Stern with some guy who farts and a lady that would queef. The queefer had him throwing up in his mouth. Hilarious. Also, Greg Ham of Men at Work died yesterday. Bummer. Who's next?!?!?

hasn't some fundamental law of the universe been violated here?? i seem to remember an ep. of "life after people" that posited that in 200 million years only the pyramids, the apollo stuff on the moon and dick clark would remain. on a serious note: he seemed to have had such a marvelously full, fun, and amazing life that the last thing he would probably want is for people to feel sad. yeah, there are times i can be mean spirited about celebrity deaths but not this one. the only thing dick wanted to do in life was to kick out the jams and let it rock. since it is 4/20, dick is probably up there passing around a bong with jimi hendrix, jim morrison, and greg allman.
