    How many remember watching American Bandstand? It was “must see tv” back then. Not just all the artists who appeared, but you got to know the regulars who took to the dance floor. Bob and Justine were the most popular as I recall.
    It must have been tough for Ryan Seacrest to keep his upbeat focus on AI last night. Clark was a huge role model/mentor in Ryan’s career and I can really see how he has patterned himself after Clark.

    I am too old for him?  I was married just one year after he started Bandstand nationally.  But I did watch it frequently.

    He was certainly an icon and I don’t think there will ever be another like him.

    I would hurry home after school to watch Bob and Justine.  They were my favorite couple.

    Dick Clark was definitely an icon.  He looked young for a very long time.  He will be missed.

    Speaking of Bob and Justine, I wish one of the networks would do a tribute to Dick Clark with video of Bob and Justine dancing years ago.
