R.I.P. Dick Clark
http://www.tmz.com/2012/04/18/dick-c...6pLid%3D153096
Dick Clark -- famed TV producer, and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host -- died from a massive heart attack this morning ... TMZ has learned. Clark's rep tells TMZ, the TV icon had been in St. John's hospital in L.A. after undergoing an outpatient procedure last night. Clark suffered the "massive" heart attack following the procedure. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Clark was 82. Clark's health had been on the decline since he suffered a significant stroke in 2004 -- forcing him to retire from his hosting gig at "New Years' Rockin' Eve," which he created in 1972. Ryan Seacrest took over in 2006. Dick has appeared on the show sporadically ever since. Before suffering a stroke, Clark told Larry King he also suffered from Type 2 diabetes. Clark was married 3 times -- and has 3 children from his first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife Kari Wigton. "For now, Dick Clark ... so long."

Now that's a person who has been part of my life (whether I liked it or not...) forever.
RIP Mr. Clark.

I always enjoyed watching the Pyramid game show as a kid. He had a good run for sure.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
