FEATURED COMMENT

I've always thought this song was about giving up one's childhood/innocence for
hard work and money. "Take my place, have my seat, it's for free" = it's free to
not have a job tying you down. But, of course, you don't make money. I think
it's a regret of the writer to give up freedom for "security." Just my opinion.
I love the Moodies -- I have seen them live over 10 times. ...

SIMON & GARFUNKEL'S "THE SOUND OF SILENCE" HITS #1

2013

For the first time in 41 years, the New Year rings in without Dick Clark, who
passed away in 2012. Clark, host of American Bandstand amongst many years of
entertainment in TV and radio, hosted Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve from
1972 until 2012, even making video phone-ins from his hospital bed while
recovering from a stroke in his later years. The show continues with many
memorial tributes to Clark, as his protégé Ryan Seacrest takes over as the new
host.
