It would have been appropriate, from my perspective at least, for him
to make a final appearance just to show that his stroke hadn't killed
him. It was almost painful watching him last year. Glad I didn't see
him, uh, perform this year.

At this point he should bow out gracefully and just soak up some sun
quietly. Listen to music. Have his grandchildren read to him? Doesn't
the guy have hobbies?

If you were a former world class sprinter, would you participate in a
local fun run if you had a stroke? I suppose it would be acceptable,
but what a downer for your audience. Those fans who saw you perform on
a superhuman level.

So is he performing for himself or for his audience? Is it acceptable?
Do people tune in simply to see him struggle or are they uplifted by
his never-say-die attitude? Could there be some brain injury that has
clouded his judgement? And, yes, I'd love to hear what his family has
to say about this.

Gotta admire him on the one hand, but there's that other hand that's
desperately waving him off. ;o/

What do you think?

and was not creeped out has ice-cold blood.

I remember Guy Lombardo Orchestra when they used to do the New Year's Eve
shows and they were all in their 70s and then Guy died and his brother Don
took over for a few years. Those guys looked a lot better than Dick Clark.

I am sorry for DC's disability, as there are many who suffer strokes. God
Bless them all. However, DC is around 80 years old, had a major stroke, and
you would think he has made enough money and has family and would want to be
remembered as he was...??

I hate to break it to you, but Dick looks better than either Page or Plant!

Okay, if we're going with the jokes, how about any member of the
Rolling Stones?

disagree. And also think both P & P sound better too. I for one
thought it a bad decision to have DC carry forth post-stroke, but give
the guy props, he seems to have done it, so far. Both my wife and I
figure he'll not be back next year as he made the 100 yr. anniversary
of the ball-drop.

Keith Richards and Dick Clark? Grace Slick arrives and eats them both.

Dave, Page & Plant look 20 years their own senior! ehee You also
forgot to mention that this year's centennial Times Square ball went
'green.' eh The 1,415-pound ball designed by Waterford Crystal in
Ireland has been outfitted with more than 9,500 energy-efficient light-
emitting diodes that will illuminate the ball's more than 600
crystals. The LEDs will use the same amount of electricity as about 10
toasters. Compare that to 1907's first Times Square ball, which was
made from iron and wood and was covered with about 100 light bulbs. -

I gather that better understandings of nutrition and fitness and
medicine over the decades have kept people physically and mentally
longer younger--at both ends of the age range, come to think of it,
given that there's talk about pushing back the retirement age, but
there are also reports about adolescents taking longer to mature
psychologically into adults these days.
