Everyone's first celebration without Dick Clark.



Backstory

I didn't realize that others had already mentioned him, but I'm not sure that there's a person still alive who's rung in a New Year without him.

I KNOW... I can't imagine what countdown will be like. Even last year, with his limited speech, he was there! Happy New Year.

While I was on vacation for my birthday with my daughter, we were watching an old "What's my Line" rerun. She had, of course, never seen this show. It was from the early 60s. A mystery gues comes on and signs in, and the panel (also celebrities) are blindfolded and try to guess the mystery person's occupation. It was even in black and white!

Anyway, my point, is that one of the people on the panel was Dick Clark. I looked at him and said, ohmygoodness, that can't be....can it?

I immediately thought of New Years Eve this year. So, so sad. Some people just can't be replaced. I know Ryan S will try, but he really doesn't stand a chance.

RIP Dick Clark. You were the best. The honest-to-goodness best.
