I had to change the channel after a while because every time Dick Clark came on it was so touching and sad at the same time to see his health in such shape. Dick Clark has been doing this for so long and has been through so many ups and downs it is hard to watch an American legend deteriorate. For someone who has suffered such a major stroke you have to admire his courage for going on TV in his condition. It was hard to get past however, like seeing a loved one or grandparent beginning to lose their memories. My parents grew up with Dick Clark on TV with American Bandstand. I grew up with Dick Clark as a New Years institution. It was a bitter sweet moment to see Dick Clark return to the television event he started. My hat goes off to Mr. Clark an American legend. Happy New year Mr. Clark happy new year to all.
