Where's Brian Dunkleman When You Need Him?
Was it just me or do others think Dick Clark should not have made an appearance on his Rockin' New Year's Eve Show ? I respect the man, he has done some amazing things in his lifetime, and I do not mean to denigrate those who have had a stroke. It must be horrible and it was amazing to hear the progress he has made.

But I am sad if his ego got the better of him.

I was just getting a little excited for the ball to drop, even with the Ryan Seacrist as host, when he appeared and it put a damper on the whole affair. Do we need something politically correct at that moment? Do we need to be reminded of something like that when we are about to scream our heads off and kiss the one we love (and what was up with the kissing and groping on screen by Dick and his lovely wife Kari) in enthusiastic celebration.

It would be better to remember him as he was...
