Dick Clark

Saturday's and American Bandstand.  Yeah, those were the days.  I kind of feel about Dick Clark that I felt when Don Cornelius died.  I tried as much as I could to catch both Bandstand and Soul Train.  First came AB then Soul Train.  Those were great Saturday's.

Clark always got a bad rep from some Rock Critics because AB featured a lot of "safe" Pop music and not enough artists on the fringe.  But Clark was selling a brand, and the brand was what the "kids" wanted to dance along with.

Funny, I don't think of all the other ventures Clark did when I heard he died.  His legacy will always be American Bandstand.
