RIP Dick Clark (original posted April 18)

Today is a bit of sad as I just left the comic book store and heading to get some new socks when my called.  She told me that Dick Clark had died.  Now I am not someone who grew with american bandstand.  Sadly I think it was on here when I was in school during 80s.  What I will remember dick for is the 25,000 Pyramid and being one of favorite game shows growing up.  Also watching Bloopers and Practical Jokes which was funny as hell.  To me more then anything will always be watching New Year's eve every year since I was teenager.  He would be only I watch then sadly he stroke.  He came back but didn't feel like he was there anymore.  That was sad seeing what had happen to him but found out today that he was the one that wanted to come back.  I think he still wanted to come out every year for fans.  New Year's this going to be hard without him even though he was barley there after returning from the stroke.   Kenny Rogers was on tv telling a story after I got home how he was on Bandstand when he was 19 and how Dick never remembered that he performed on the show at 19.  There are probably lots of stories better people could tell but I just interesting that even though Dick didn't remember kenny's he launched his and so many others.  Rest in peace Dick Clark.  You earned it.
