In Junior High and High School, before I became the phenom that I am today, I babysat a lot. Not much social life but plenty of cash. One night that I was always available to sit was New Years Eve. For some reason I always watched Dick Clark and for some other reason he always made me feel better about the sad state of my life (junior high and early high school sucked). I loved the gentleness of his voice, the way he was always excited about every musical act and the way it never felt like a New Year until he had proclaimed that it was so. Plus he always had some great line about the hope for a better year. He was an an icon and a legend. May he rest in peace, surrounded by all the great ones who are performing for him as we speak...
