END OF THE WEEK:
As we are all set to begin a brand new week, let me just take a moment to look back at the week that was and all of its best and/or memorable moments. It's "End of the Week" for week 16 of the year 2012:
Death of the Week: TV Personality Dick Clark
The man was known for a longtime as the "world's oldest teenager," and whether it was greeting audiences to the new year with his annual "New Year's Rockin' Eve" special, giving contestants instructions on "The $25,000 Pyramid," or introducing audiences to new singing acts on "American Bandstand," he was as prominent on TV as any other major icon of his days. He leaves behind a long and prolific memory in addition to his wife and two children.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: The Secret Service Prostitution Scandal
Well, at least people didn't find out about it through gum being on one of the agents' pubis.
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Man Strips Naked in Portland Airport in Protest Against TSA Regulations
In retrospect, probably the easiest TSA scan of all-time.
Threat (?) of the Week: Ted Nugent's Violent Rant Against Obama
It was so creepy that the Secret Service reportedly went to investigate Nugent for his words. Remember when this guy was known first and foremost as an excellent rock guitarist, and not as a politically outspoken conservative? This is one of those times when I wish we went back to those days.
Video of the Week: "Tupac Hologram, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre Perform Coachella Live 2012"
The upside: MOTHERF@CKING TUPAC IN HOLOGRAM FORM!!! The downside: this seems more likely to happen now then ever.
Person of the Week: Alternate Rock Fans
And that's the way it was! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
Sincerely,
