A Legend Dies
Dick Clark was a media genius. He was a man whose death
couldn’t be eclipsed by even a hologram performance by Tupac. Yes… That did
happen... But I won’t be talking about that today. Clark had a great career
including American Bandstand and pioneering the “New Years Rockin’ Eve.” An
annual show that I’m sure all of you tune into at that time of the year. He was important in launching a lot of artists careers.
Sadly, He passed away April 18, 2012, after suffering from a
heart attack. In 2004, Clark had suffered a stroke that left his quality of
life substantially lower. Still, He was still hosting the New Year’s party but
this time with a co-host, Ryan Seacrest. Each year around that time, it was apparent he was
getting better. Since 1972 when the
show started he had only missed two New Year’s shows.
He is held in high regard for a lot of Americans. They grew
up with him; he is a source for nostalgia.
Thank you Dick Clark, for a great
run!
