Dick Clark died today, what sad news.
I still can remember watching American Bandstand when I was younger and loving all the dances, clothes and hairstyles. On the radio today they were talking about Rocking New Years Eve and making fun about nobody really admitting to watching it. It you are of a certain age, you know what age that is, you stayed up to watch it. It was always the best New Year's show.
But back to Bandstand. I love watching the old ones from the early sixties, I am old but not quite that old! And even into the 90's the show was still pretty good. That's about when I found for the life of me I didn't know one song or artist they featured, talk about really feeling your age. It is still happening, go into any music store and if you don't have young children, just try and recognize a name, go ahead I dare you. I know more country artist's now then anything, talk about scary!
So Dick Clark thank you so much for everything and being a part of my life. Thanks for Paul Revere and The Raiders, Mark Lindsay,sigh! Rick Springfield, Bobby Sherman, who is now a paramedic! Can I get a little CPR please. Dino, Desi and Billy and David Cassidy, who I actually did want to marry. Oh and remember Herman's Hermits.......Herman......
