"REST IN PEACE to DICK CLARK" It is a very sad day for me and many fans. I just learned of the passing of Dick Clark of "American Bandstand" and many New Years Eve Celebrations. He was 82, remember these icons of our times are aging and soon will move on.
Levon Helm also is very ill fighting cancer, and Don Imus ain't doing so hot if you watch his morning show, some days he looks it too, you can see when he has really bad days.
All of these folks play or played a big part of my life, Levon with his music, Imus telling it like it is and Clark sharing the music and his love for it with his eternal youthful looks. I will miss Dick Clark on New Years Eve for sure.
