Those of us of a certain age, or who are students of television history, might remember the show American Bandstand. It had been hosted by Dick Clark, who died in 1962, and showcased music stars of the day and teenagers dancing to the music of the day. Clark's show helped several artists to hit in big, until his tragic death in an automobile accident in 1962 in Philadelphia.

My question is, if Dick Clark had lived, how much infuence do you think he, or the show American Bandstand (they tried another host but the chemistry was not there and the show was canceled in 1963) would have had on American popular music, on rock and roll in particular, and on American culture and television?

So too soon. Uufortunately it is also not against any Board policy I am aware of.

I would recommend that posters allow it to die the ignored end it deserves, but that's just me.

Calbear, if you truly think it's too soon, please kill the thread. I disagree, but I seem to be in the minority here.

Sorry folks, guess I just have a viewpoint on these things different from most. I PM'd Calbear and asked him to kill the thread.
