Richard Wagstaff Clark: 11/30/1929-04/18/2112
There are so many memories, from watching American Bandstand for hours on end to rushing home from confession (!) on Staurday night to catch the countdown show, to the New Year's Eve celebrations. He has always been part of my life and I will cherish the memories forever.
RIP Dick Clark; thank you for all the great music and for teaching us that we are as young as we want to be.
I can remember when every TV station had a local dance show, all trying to be Dick Clark. I worked for WSOC-TV in Charlotte and the weatherman talked them into letting him do a show. He was sure he was on his way to stardom. However, there was only ONE Dick Clark, just like there was only one Don Cornelius.
