without looking for it I believe he was an active journalist during WW2, but that is all I will venture. He passed away today, April 8th, 2012. I haven't seen it on the web or in print yet, but it was announced on CBS Sunday Morning News. Rest in Peace Mr. Wallace, your journalism in both print and Television leaves a legacy of quality. Just found this on the NY Times site... Mike Wallace, a pioneer of American broadcasting who confronted leaders and liars for the newsmagazine “60 Minutes” for four decades, has died, CBS News said. He was 94. His death was announced on CBS by the anchor of its Sunday morning program, Charles Osgood. The network did not immediately specify when or where he died. Mr. Wallace had been ill for several years. Goto: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/08/mike-wallace-60-minutes-pioneer-dies/

is in a coma and not expected to survive for long. I'm sorry, I mis-read this originally, and it was Andy Gibb and Maurice (Robin's twin) who died before. Barry Gibb survives yet. I was never a giant fan of their style, but must admit they were extremely talented as a family. Goto: Robin Gibb Gravely Ill In Hospital: Reports
Sad to hear about this, I personally liked some later songs like " You win again" but I do respect their whole production in music businez.
Ahh! What fond memories! The Bee-Gee hair...the hairy chest and medals...the Bee-Gee teeth....that harmony that reminds one of testicular retrograde move back up the slot they descended from.....I mean, if you think it's easy, just try staying in tune with them the next time you put on your copy of "Staying Alive". If you can hit that note without grabbing your nuts and squeezing hard, you are part the way there. All you then need are the hair, teeth and chesty medals.....

Dick Clark, entertainment icon, dies at 82 | abc7chicago.com Another icon, leaves us. Take care, Richard. You are irreplaceable.
Spokesman Paul Shefrin said Clark had a heart attack Wednesday morning at Saint John's hospital in Santa Monica, where he had gone the day before for an outpatient procedure. Clark had continued performing even after he suffered a stroke in 2004 that affected his ability to speak and walk. "Dick Clark was a true pioneer who revolutionized the way we listened to and consumed music," record executive Clive Davis said in a statement. "For me he ranks right up there with the giants of our business." For a time in the 1980s, he had shows on all three networks and was listed among the Forbes 400 of wealthiest Americans. Clark also was part of radio as partner in the United Stations Radio Network, which provided programs -- including Clark's -- to thousands of stations. I thought he'd live to 100. You'll be sorely missed Mr. Clark.
Oh no. Another sign that the world will come to an end in December. No one to ring in the New Year. All jokes aside, Rest in Peace. Our holidays will never be the same without you.
I'm from Philadelphia, so Dick Clark was part of me growing up. We had Bandstand on nearly every day while my younger sister danced his tunes with the 2nd floor banister. He will be missed.
That is sad to hear, of course I was wondering just how long the "forever young" Dick Clark could keep on "keepin' on". Rest in Peace Sir.
I'm a child of the '70s, and I remember AB well. It made for some fun Saturday mornings. I also remember the Pyramids game shows and The Challengers from '89 and '90. Dick, so long.
