Dick Clark Died at 82

America definitely lost a rock n roll icon today. While he wasn't a musician he pretty much was the guy who introduced rock music to the masses via American Bandstand.

I thought he retired from the NYE show some years back and Carson Daley or someone similar has been hosting.

Ryan Seacrest has been the main host but Dick Clark has made an appearance every year since the one after his stroke.

I do remember Band Stand. It was a "must see" TV show and I was sad when it ended. It wasn't just about music, it was about fashion and dance trends and the whole package of the show. I remember swooning over Andy Gibb on Band Stand. I also enjoyed the $10,000 Pyramid (later the $100,000 pyramid), which Clark hosted. Perhaps it was a different time, but I don't remember him being involved in any scandals or scuttlebutt either. He always seemed like a class act.

RIP Dick Clark and thank you for entertaining us for so long.

Definitely a tough week to be a million years old.
