New Year's WTF???
A rumor has started in Buffalo that Dick Clark's image on the ball-
drop program was actually well-crafted computer-generated graphics, a glorified Max Headroom. Did it not have a sort of slightly jerky, computer-game look to it, or was it the cheap free "champagne" the bowling alley gave us during karaoke? Blessed be, Baha |

Blessed be, Baha I thought it looked like a guy who'd had a stroke. I had more fun watching the coverage on a different network. Who would have thought it would be CNN that would have Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin as their broadcast team in New York? She'd make some pop culture reference, and he'd look at her like "WTF is she talking about?" I didn't really realize AC was so out of touch that he wouldn't know who Pam Anderson is (to me it appeared that he didn't have a clue) Jeanne Hedge ============ http://www.jhedge.com |

New Year's WTF???
It WAS a 79 year old guy who had a stroke. A guy who had done this
celebrating thing for so many years he, and his family, didn't want to not have him do it because it was important to him. Go Mr. Clark, GO as long as you can!!!!! "Jeanne Hedge" wrote in message ...

I assumed his appearance and voice were the result of his strokes, but I admit it did cross my mind that it almost seemed like an animation, rather than a live person. Joy |

The slightly jerky, computer-game look was much more muted this year than it has been at any New Year's Eve since he had his stroke. Repatterning seems to be working well for him, but it's still a very, very slow process.

I read that many of his friends didn't want him to be on
TV last night but, as hard as it is to see him like this, I would have felt worse not seeing "an old friend" at all. I also thought he was better than in the past.

Blessed be, Baha You know, I didn't see it live, but I did watch a brief bit on Youtube. He sounds (and looks when he's trying to speak) just like my Grampie, after his third stroke. As for the *way* he looks, that I couldn't say. I haven't actually watched a countdown show for several years, so I don't have a frame of reference, other than the perpetual teenager which he is obviously isn't any longer. No idea on whether it was "real" or not, but not out of my realm of experience. I couldn't watch much, just made me want to cry. I always loved watching him, especially when he laughed.
