TMZ.com: Dick Clark -- famed TV producer, and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host -- died from a massive heart attack this morning ... TMZ has learned.
I was too shocked when I blogged the link earlier to say much more. I'm still a little weirded out, but here are links to my previous posts about Dick Clark, whom I've mentioned here, here, here, here, here, and probably elsewhere. He was a huge influence in my life, probably bigger than I know.

Wow. As a kid growing up in Philly, he dominated my youth.
When AB went national, I hurried home from school every afternoon to watch. Watched the Saturday night show, too. Dick Clark was an icon of my youth.
For years Dick Clark looked timeless and unchanging. Then his health faltered and he went downhill. A part of my youth just died.
Put another part of my youth into the memory bank. In the 1970s, I watched "American Bandstand" and "Soul Train" back-to-back faithfully every Saturday. R.I.P. Dick. I hope whatever you're listening to now, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
