The death of Dick Clark is a tragedy. He was wonderful and will be missed by so many.A question that comes to mind is what ..kind of minor medical procedure did he undergo that resulted in his massive heart attack? Does anyone know? It is sad that many older (80's and up) are undergoing procedures that often have side effects(incl. cardiac infractions)and yet are not stopped because of ??who knows? (money or whatever) All "procedures" have risks.Some are irreversible as in this case. To think last week it was reported that he was out enjoying dinner and laughing about being "The World's oldest teenager".hardly sounds like a scenario for a pending death. Bless the family.
I was watching WWII in HD today and could you believe that they have pictures of American troops posing with dead enemy soldiers in it??? Wow, how can that be??? Liberal news is so ridiculous. It is and always has been a common practice to pose with those who tried to kill you, but you triumphed. Get over it people.
