Nobody saw that one coming.

I had naively expected Dick Clark to live to at least 120, as he was already the world’s oldest teenager, and was just barely out of his adolescence.

I actually was surprised to learn he was 82 - I had always thought him to be younger than myself.

Jeez, now I feel old.

In 1959, Clark did a radio interview with Elvis in the Army when stationed in Germany.. I was surprised Clark was 82. I thought he was at least 90.

Huh?

He's been a recurring pick in death pools since his first post-stroke New Year's Eve appearance.

I thought he was older than 82, but I guess that was just the way the stroke deteriorated his health.

RIP. Thanks for the AB memories.

“Jeez, now I feel old.”

If you grew-up with American Bandstand, “we” are old!
