thedailywhat: RIP: Dick Clark, at 82: Dick Clark, the longtime New Year’s Eve fixture, music industry maverick, TV host, and producer of American Bandstand, died today of a heart attack at 82. Clark suffered a major stroke in 2004 but returned to the airwaves to host seven more New Year’s Rockin’ Eves. According to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, Dick Clark Productionshas turned out more than 7,500 hours of television programming, including more than 30 series and 250 specials, as well as more than 20 movies for theatre and TV. His success landed him Emmys, Grammys, induction in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Clark had long been known for his departing catchphrase, “For now, Dick Clark… so long,” delivered with a military salute, and for his youthful appearance that earned him the moniker “America’s Oldest Teenager.”“If you want to stay young looking,” he once said, “pick your parents very carefully.” Clark is survived by his third wife, Keri Wigton, and three children. [abc] This says he was 82. They clearly switched the numbers around by accident. He’s been 28 since 1957.

Bruce Springsteen and the ESB, Albany, NY. April 16, 2012. Janey Don’t You Lose Heart (acoustic).

for sarah, bored in the albany bus station. 

According to Jared, Bruce played this for a girl whose mother died last month. He also brought the girl up for Dancing In The Dark.

I already bothered you all with my Bruce-gasming last time so I wot go crazy this time. But I got to talk to the girl, Molly, afterwards. She was ecstatic. She cried during the song, but she was really, really happy. He definitely helped her put some emotions to rest when he stood at the mic, re-learned the song, and made sure he did it solo. I didn’t even know the song (I know, right???) but, while there were a number of cool things about last night, this was my favorite.

Alan Moore being interviewed by the BBC. I think it’s wonderful, even though I wanted to kick the interviewer repeatedly.

This is a nice interview. You don’t see a lot of those with Alan Moore. He’s very human here. 

Also, why was I not following Neil Gaiman until now?

fuckyeahricksantorum: yarnkind: This morning I’m saying something I didn’t think I would ever say: Keep Rick Santorum and his family in your thoughts and, if it’s up your alley, prayers. I don’t like Santorum. I think he is a sad, withered little man who is pretty solidly a political joke. However, he has a daughter, Bella. She’s three, and she’s got a defect called Trisonomy 18 that puts her in the hospital a lot. She’s there now, in the hospital, so he’s taking a break from campaigning and, if things keep going as they are, will probably quit the race. It’s not a terminal illness, per se, but it makes her really weak and fragile. She is only one of the 10 percent of babies that makes it past a year of age. She could very well die now, or on her next hospital visit. I know a lot of you are going to think “well he isn’t fit to have a kid anyway,” or some such, but holy hell guys, no one deserves this, not even Rick Santorum. I’m not trying to make any kind of political statement here. Just spare a thought? ^^^   For the kid…
