RIP: Dick Clark

I just saw on Drudge Report that Dick Clark passed away.  Anyone who ever saw Dick Clark's Rocking Eve or American Band Stand, or ever watched an awards show like the Emmys or a gameshow like the $10,000 Pyramid, knows Dick Clark. And who could forget Bloopers and Practical Jokes (now, both he and Ed McMahon are gone)?  Heck, any American knew Dick Clark, the eternal teenager. He was a trailblazer in featuring all musicians from all genres, all races. Even after a stroke a few years back, he was always a welcome sight on television, mostly recently appearing last New Year's Eve. That date won't ever be the same without him.  RIP, Dick Clark.
