Folks Of Interest Hot Rods and Rock& Roll,.... Dick Clark RIP

As Dick always said ...... so long. I salute you.

 

I watched his show every Saturday as we looked for people we knew that was dancing on TV . He was a great inspiration to all that he touched throughout all those years of his many shows we sat and watched ! He did all those count downs in New York City on New Years Eve for many years as we brought in the New Year with him on TV ! He did so much for so many people but now the Legend is gone !
I wish the very best for his family and the millions of friends he made throughout his life ! He will never be forgotten for what all he did and what he stood for .
Good bye Dick Clark and RIP .

Beat Danny Bonaduce in a push-up contest at the age of 74. RIP Dick!

 

He was a great one, for sure. I have a shirt from his place in Kansas City (?) i think. For some reason it don't fit no more but i'll never give it up.

 

RIP Mr.Clark. You will be missed.

 

Might as well cancel newyears eve. Cause it will never be the same. RIP.

 

Dick, you introduced me to music.....THANKS and R.I.P.!

 

Dick Clark, rest peacfully, sir. You brought alot of goodness and joy to generations of Americans. People in your age group like my parents and Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, all the movie stars, newsmakers, and everyday people...that time...that feeling will never come again. The more of you we lose, the uglier this world becomes. I'm glad I at least got to enjoy the tail end of your generation's life and accomplishments......if only others would realize that, too.

 

My sister once danced on the "American Bandstand" stage... my Fiance was on the "Disco Fusion" show as a regular.

Her and I agree that the "American Bandstand" was the first and the best of all the spin-off dance shows.

God Speed Dick... you brought a lot of smiles to a lot of people.

 

RIP Dick , you will be missed ...

 

R.i.p.

 

Awww man, i just heard!!! RIP D.C.!!!!

 

So I heard on my local radio station today that Dick Clark's first television job was right here in Utica, New York at WKTV. He also attended Syracuse University. Funny how all these little facts don't come around till the guy dies.

He had a good run

 

R.I.P. You will be missed

 

No. Just his career did.
You are correct. He will get a quick mention on the news. And then a nice memorial. But leading a good and "clean" life, with out all the sensationalist horse hockey, in 2 weeks, we wont hear anything again till the Grammy's next year. sad.

 

Rockin' in heaven........RIP

 

Hard not to like the guy. Quite an icon. God Speed and Rest in Peace Mr. Clark.

 

RIP Mr. Clark
Thanks for all the entertainment.

 

Did my homework to American Bandstand.
A legend.

Yes we did... on snowy black and white T.V.

 

A genuine Rock n' Roll enthusiast.It showed that he loved the music, and loved presenting new acts, and trends to the whole country.
You will be sorely missed Dick,
R.I.P.

 

that is sad news.

 

"Music is the soundtrack of your life," Dick Clark

 

Sad news, he'll be remembered as a nice guy, successful businessman who really enjoyed his work, and helped others along the way, RIP.

 

RIP All-American Dick Clark. Not too many people from my generation know about American Bandstand but there's nothing like parallel to that positive influence really around anymore.

 

RIP Dick Clark

 

I like this shot Dick Page posted on FB.........

 

Man, I grew up watching American Bandstand for the hot girls and the latest music.

We're gonna miss you Dick.

 

I remember when he moved his operation to Hollywood, one of the first up was the Beach Boys " little duece coupe with............" to Question mark and the mysterians....on and on Mr. Clark.....
I will enjoy that smile, we all should !

 

Watched Bandstand all the time as a kid.
He loved to watch/help people of all ages have a good time,,,I got some tears in my eyes for awhile when I heard the bad news,,really sad.
R.I.P Mr Clark
