    Didja see, Dick Clark died at 82? I'll bet he still looked like he was 35! RIP!

    Say what you want, the guy changed the way America looked at rock & roll back in the early 60's and beyond. He made himself an icon in the music industry.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    The ball has dropped for the last time. We didn't have much to watch on TV back then. Always had time for American Bandstand. Thanks for the memories Dick. RIP.

    The end of an Era and what a Legacy he left !
    He brought Rock n Roll into our living rooms and I, for one,
    needed something to identify with at that time in my life.
    Thank you Mr. Clark.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    RIP Dick. 82 years is a good run. He certainly looked good for his age.

    That is a pretty accurate compliment there, Bob,
    I heard another today.
