Dick Clark Dies At Age 82

I had to go to the dentist today. The dentist had installed TVs on the ceiling so patients could watch TV--headphones included--while being treated.

Anyway, the TV was on CNN. It covered Dick Clark extensively. I watched American Bandstand sometimes as a kid but the music didn't really suit my temperament. So I thought of Clark as a preserved curiosity who defied the ravages of time. I don't know if it was the local anesthesia or what but CNN convinced me Clark was a cultural icon who moved race relations forward by introducing black musicians to white audiences. By all accounts, Clark was a good guy.

Like your avatar. I just saw 'My Week With Marilyn,' 'Some Like It Hot,' and 'Niagara.' Now that was an icon! I'd recommend any of them but 'My Week With Marilyn" was very well done and Michelle Williams was spectacular.

Thanks for the post. Too bad Dick Clark gets censored.
 
D-ick Clark was just slightly ahead of my time in terms of seeing him in context. But he's been about, my entire life. So anyway....I just listened to an archived interview with him, on the CBUT. He was the opposite of what I might've assumed - the opposite of "shallow". I was taken aback.
 
ARMCXI and FairSheet, you can now go to your setting panel and turn off the censorship software. Now if the person you are posting to still has it on then he or she will see Dick censored but you won't.

Thanks Cicero. I imagine there're a few Richards out there, who'll appreciate that most of all.
 
Yep . . . and now we can post about Dickmorris.com without having the censor software cut in. Progress!

Hi ARMCX1, yes it was too bad but thanks Cicero

I was amazed to read how many stars got their start on American Band Stand, this link has the video with their names. The show didn't do it for me but you must admit he really knew talent and I think a pretty nice guy to boot.

You really must have a great dentist with innovative ideas to keep his patients mind off pain. What a great idea!!

Thanks for your comments about MM, she was a sweetheart wasn't she. Would you believe I have not seen the movie yet but plan to as soon as I can get my hands on the rental but maybe a purchase from Amazon.com would be a wiser move.

I have a good one for you. George Clooney in 'Oh Brother where art thou' You may have seen it since it is not new but if not, it is a riot. You would never believe they would have picked him for the part but he was absolutely perfect. He wasn't in love with a girl but his hair.:D
 
I'm with you on 'Oh Brother where art thou' lilly. When It came out, I had zero interest in seeing it figuring it was a chick flick. 2-3 years ago, I saw it on TV. It was very well done, funny with a good plot--and needless to say--with a great soundtrack.

You're probably gonna like 'My Week With Marilyn.'
