If you’re a fan of music, then somewhere, Dick Clark has had something to say to you. The leader of American Bandstand, often referred to as America’s oldest teenager, Dick Clark has become an integral part of Rock and Roll almost from the start.
Yesterday, his death was reported. At the age of 82, the man who embodied Rock and Roll left this show we call life. And for the rest of us, it’s like singing “American Pie” all over again.
“For now, Dick Clark, so long.”
Dick Clark
1929-2012
RIP
Just saw that Greg Ham of Men At Work passed away, too.
It’s sad, so very sad, to see that our musical loves begin to leave us…
Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, American Bandstand and Soul Train was the ONLY source of music on TV, I watched every Saturday, these shows were essential viewing for kids into music, RIP Dick Clark, you were one of a kind.
Anyone remember Hullaballoo, and Shindig?
