:: Dick Clark carries our sense of temporal certainty on his mortal shoulders ::

Thursday, January 01, 2004

One day, one day perhaps very soon, Dick Clark will die. The man is 74 years young, but most of the people reading this will outlive him. Doesn't anyone else find it more than a little creepy that the transition from one year to the next, nay, the very passage of time itself, is so closely associated with one aging celebrity whose springboard to fame was a teeny-bopper television show he started hosting five decades ago? How did Mr. Clark usurp Chronos himself?

Will time stop when Dick Clark dies?
