Carson Daly is like the next generation Dick Clark. Happy New Year everyone!

Turned on the TV at 11:45 ... and then said, "Oh, let's see what MTV is up to..." .... And promptly switched back to CNN...realizing that I was no longer young. Glad that dick clark wasn't forced to do any gangnam style.

I concur with Mitch. No sound on the TV as we enjoyed a DJ spinning primarily music to dance to. But while sitting often gazed at the big screen and caught nice glimpses of New Year's Rockin' Eve; saw the nice old clip of Dick Clark. early in the show saw Daly almost looking like Clark, profile wise; even without the sounds, the mannerisms of Daly mannered his mentor Clark. Got to think Clark picked Daly rather smartly.
More interestingly to me was how out of touch I believe I may be with the music presented (even though I could not listen to who appeared.
As I indicated in yesterday's comment, I do not look for my music to get played on 12/31 (even though I shared a sample set list via Fred list); as once point -- during the appetizers I think, the DJ played The Promised Land and Jungleland (both classic Bruce Springsteen tunes) which have much meaning to me and my friend Bobby yelled across the room "Corey must've asked for those songs" -- I did -- I yelled back I'd have requested Rosalita (my fave song by the Boss).
Just so funny how things evolved; there was a time that New Year's Rockin' Eve mattered as part of my New Year's festivities -- other than a pic of the ball dropping and glimpses of Times Square, it lacks any connection to me; could be the music.
Best wishes for 2013!

I loved the look-back at Dick Clark's career.
