Dick Clark, the music industry maverick, longtime TV host and powerhouse producer who changed the way we listened to pop music with "American Bandstand," and whose trademark "Rockin' Eve" became a fixture of New Year's celebrations, died today at the age of 82.

Clark's agent Paul Shefrin said in statement that the veteran host died this morning following a "massive heart attack."

Now boarding the flying saucer: Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Dick Clark. Woops, Lloyd Thaxton was left behind!

NOTE: There is some argument on who created and who copied the format: Clark or Thaxton? I'll go with my old local boy Lloyd. Dick Clark would never do Tolouse-Latrec.
