The man with the timeless handsome looks that made him the face of American Bandstand, and New Years eve, among others. Rest Well. You will be missed.

I guess it just seems that way because he was on TV every year. :p

My aunt was 83.  Both of my grandmothers lived to 94.

My grandma is 98. My step dad is that same age as Dick Clark but looks a lot younger than his age.

This news made me sad. :(

I remember catching a little bit of him on one of those Rockin' Eve things after his stroke a couple years ago.

He was struggling so much to simply articulate I thought, "Damn, Dude, just go ahead and retire already. Nobody begrudges you a damned thing. Enjoy whatever time you've got left, but GTFO of the tube."

I'm sorry, but one of my earliest memories is being annoyed with Dick Clark (probably around age 3).  See, the start of the theme for American Bandstand always signified the end of Saturday morning cartoons, and that just PISSED ME OFF, back them.  :-)

The dumbass thing about AB was the lame-assed shit you'd hear from the dancers:

Dick in 1959: "Well, what did you think about the song?"

Lame-assed dancer: "It had a real cool beat."

Dick in 1962: "Well, what did you think about the song?"

Lame-assed dancer: "It had a real happenin' beat."

Dick in 1968: "Well, what did you think about the song?"

Lame-assed dancer: "It had a real groovy beat."

I dunno about that. They seem to dance okay. I think in the "Ability to Express Oneself" category, they were simply stooopid -- at least while they were under Dick's watch.

Maybe it's different today.  :stoner:
