The Ball Drops For Thee, Dick

Was anyone else as pained as I was watching Dick Clark slur his way through his segment on the ABC New Year’s Eve special the other night? Dick is no longer “America’s Oldest Teenager”; he’s a recovering stroke patient who appears as though he may crash at any moment. I realize his production company may still own the rights to the NYE telecast, but c’mon now, it’s getting a little creepy. But in all less creepy than say, Ryan Seacrest pretending to be heterosexual.

Although I do have to admit it did make for fascinating television, which may have been ABC’s intent all along – those ingenious bastards.

I think they do it just so people tune in to see if he got any worse. I tune in to see him make out with his wife when the ball drops.

Which is worse; Dick doing Times Square or aging rockers doing tacky bowl game halftime shows....taking the golf cart ride so their trick pelvis' don't act up on the way to the stage? It's way past time for some of these bands to retire. They're beginning to look like second rate college show bands on fraternity stages. Seriously, the last time anyone asked to hear the Doobies records were still being pressed on vinyl. It's like watching the uber lame Viagra commercial of the jam session for dorks.
