Don't know whether I don't like hero worship, or I've just got different hero's.
Let's hear it for the little guy. The stuffed shirts would starve to death without him.

Yep, me too. But, face it, how interested do you think the viewing public would be in hearing about it everytime one of us nail pounders or wrench twisters kicked off......Thosands of us drop dead everyday.
But, there's only one Dick Clark and almost everyone with a pulse knows who he was.
I have a retired Navy buddy who has a fit everytime a celebrity dies.....
" 'Cuz the media doesn't break out any hankies for the dead troops!"
Which really, isn't quite true. Our local stations and newspaper, list the recently killed every week. And sometimes even run a story. But, the truth is famous people will always get more airtime.
Besdies, Painter is right. Dick Clark was a good man. So, where is the harm?
