The latest edition of the Enquirer has some new Dick Clark pictures and unfortunately they arn't pretty. I was shocked as to what I saw. Dick is an American institution and I love the guy like the rest of you. This is why it was so painful to see him in a wheelchair, tilted mouth and hands that look like they barely work anymore. As sad as it is, it is clearly obvious that Dick will never be close to the same guy we all knew before.

Yeah, because the Enquirer always posts the most flattering picture of someone that they can find.

Are you really this dense, or is it just an act?

Well I could act like you but I wouldn't want to come off like that much of a jerk.

Sounds like a boxing match is about to begin.

If you believe everything you read, then Bob Barker would have retired 10 years ago and Pat and Vanna would have parted ways on Wheel. Jesus.

Your name isn't really Harvey Daye or John Chartier, right?

The latter, actually.

My apologies to all for not catching it sooner; he won't be posting again.

Well, well, well.

Don't apologize, Dave- it happens sometimes.

You know, for all the criticism that Harv and John have for our board, they sure seem to want to post on it a lot.

Thank you, sir. There is a reason why I have never, ever claimed to be perfect -- and this is why. (Permission granted to smack me if I ever do make such a claim. :-)

You've noticed that too, hmmm?

I find it more ironic that Chartier constantly talks about how his site is so much better than this.

They're all a bunch of hypocrites...Harvey and John. And I have something to say to them.

Guys, if you're reading this (and I know you are)...STAY OFF THIS BOARD. YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE.

If you do it while you're in Providence, Rhode Island, you just might. ;-)

Well, it's legitimate. One of my colleagues at the station I work at, Jonathan Casey who is a 30 year vet of the radio airwaves actually may be the last person to have interviewed Dick before his stroke last year. Story goes he went out to the left coast to interview him in the middle of 2004, not long before his stroke and had a nice hour long interview with him. Among the things Dick mentioned was something I brought up in another post, a revival of American Bandstand slated presumably at the time for this year. I'm expecting to get a copy of the interview soon, and I'll post a link to it when I do, for those skeptics out there.

Here's where the story gets freaky. Dick was to record "shout outs" to a couple of our DJs. He did one for Tommy McCarthy, who does our oldies show Saturday nights. He did that two days before his stroke. Apparently either the station or Jon himself got in touch with Dick to see if he could do a shoutout for his music program. The day he was to do Jon's shout out, Dick had the stroke. Kind of an odd and personal sidebar to the whole Dick Clark stroke.

Jon actually vouched that Dick was in a wheelchair and all, and that this will probably be his last year in Times Square. I hope and pray that it isn't...but then again, if he's really bad off, maybe I should hope that it is.
