On Wednesday, April 18, Dick Clark suffered a severe heart attack and passed away at the age of 82. Dick Clark was more popularly known for his "American Bandstand" and "Rockin' New Years Eve" that show cased his love for music. My mother always talked about watching "American Bandstand" after school every day growing up, and "Rockin' New Years Eve" with her family every New Year. The New Year tradition continued on to our family who also gathered around the TV to countdown to the ball drop and watch favorite artists perform. My mother and I were in the car when he heard the sad news that Dick Clark had died, and began to wonder what the New Year celebration was going to be like for the coming year. While Clark's sudden passing is very sad, his legacy will live on and appears to be mirrored by Ryan Secreast. I guess we'll have to see how Ryan fills Clark's shoes.
