At Least Some Things Don't Change...


Found this clip with Dick Clark rocking in 1988! Even though Ryan Seacrest has been co-hosting from Times Square since 2005, Dick Clark is still ticking along with his commentaries in the studio (It's good to know at least some things never change). This clip looks and sounds like every other "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve" specials with some exceptions. At the end of the clip is a young John Stamos and Heather Locklear along with Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam and a view of a very young Dick Clark. Have a Safe and Happy New Year everyone and if you're at home, watch the ball drop in Times Square with Mr. Clark—it's still the same since 1988 (if you forget Ryan Seacrest)!

Ok. Maybe I haven't seen "Dick Clark's Rock'in New Year's Eve" in a couple of years. Watched this last night and when did he get SO old? I'm surprised he's still on there. It was kind of sad to see him that way.

Dick Clark suffered a stroke a couple of years ago. It's quite a miracle he is back where he can do as much as he can, but it is sad to hear him struggle to pronounce words when he used to be so youthful. God bless him for his persistence.

I totally forgot that he had a stroke. I have always thought of Dick Clark as the man that never ages. He still looked great and I'm glad he's still on the show even if it's just a cameo at the end.

The link for this video doesn't work anymore. Here is another video of Dick Clark and the ball dropping New Year's 1998.
