Sisyphus Pheme
FAKE NEWS - The Times Square ball wasn't the only pricey piece of robotics called into service on New Year's Eve, 2008. The all-new animatronic Dick Clark was put into action, four years after the human Dick Clark suffered a stroke. "We were hesitant about revealing the mechanical origins of this year's New Year's Eve host - but, when people didn't realize Dick was a robot, we felt it was best to be forthcoming," said Times Square event planner Charles Flannery.

Before Chubby Checker, Hank Ballard: "The Twist"
by
Lee Jensen
Though many associate "The Twist" with Chubby Checker, it was written and first recorded by Hank Ballard, who had hits with "Finger Poppin' Time" and "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go." Dick Clark was instrumental in reviving the song by having Checker record it. Checker says that he, not Ballard, created the iconic dance moves that made the Twist an international sensation in 1960.
