Another part of my childhood and adolescence gone away...
From the late 50s on, I would watch American Bandstand and his other later shows in the 60s like "Where the Action Is" to see the latest bands and performers. When I moved to hollywood in 1975, "Bandstand" was temporarily being produced in an ABC-TV studio facility just around the corner from my home. I would see the "Bandstand" dancers and some of the musical guests going in and out of the building. I once saw Dick Clark on Sunset Blvd., down the street from Vine Street. I was just exiting an Arby's fast food restaurant and a car, a big station wagon, pulled up into the parking lot near the door. Out came this big family group and when the driver exited, it was Dick Clark. I remember thinking how very cool it was he was out with his family, no limo or entourage, and going in to have a meal in an Arby's, not a swank Hollywood restaurant. He always seemed like such a pleasant, normal guy on TV and seeing him that day just proved the image was no lie... Thanks, Dick Clark, for all the musical memories, and rest in peace... ...

I wonder if this means any remaining obligations I may have had to the Columbia Record and Tape Club are dissolved? Those eight-tracks are really piling up in the basement.

He hadn't been well for some time. No matter, he is now in a better place and we are all the richer for his work.

We all kinda laughed then, but maybe a bit of trolls remorse now. Just a little, the power of shadenfreud(sp) is still strong in me. In all seriousness. He was an icon that spanned across multiple generations. Even if you do not know him from American Bandstand, then you knew him as that friendly face, and golden voice you saw every New Years eve. You wanted to party with Dick.  I will chug this can of Budwieser now in his memory.
