For now, Dick Clark... so long.



Dick Clark, forever 34 years old, has died.  His hair never moved, and sadly in recent years, neither did his face.  Now nothing moves, except some folks up the leaderboard!  Different generations remember him for different things.  He started on his family owned radio station, then moved to television where he brought music to the teen masses with American Bandstand, gave away money to middle age folks on Pyramid, and comforted old folks coping with the scary new year with Rockin New Years Eve.  His current project is a reboot with Ed McMahon, Jesus Bloopers & Practical Jokes.  Check your local listings.  Until then, remember our dearly departed.  Richard Wagstaff Clark, dead at the age of 82.  Read more HERE.

Somebody missed Andy Rooney



Mike Wallace of CBS and 60 Minutes fame, has died.  With numerous books penned, awards shelved, and presidents interviewed, Wallace did what no other person was able to do; snap my lazy butt back into updating the death list.  And congratulations again to Joe T, who correctly predicted that a 93 year old man in poor health would die.  It was his second score in three years of play, the first being 96 year old Harry Morgan.  Myron Wallace, dead at the age of 93.  Read more HERE.
