> With Dick Clark’s passing, so passes part of my teenage years, and pre-teen, as a matter of fact. Rushing home from school to watch American Bandstand was a must.

YES! I lived just outside of Philly and American Bandstand was a staple of my adolescence and teenage years (I was 5 when it started in 1957). Hard to imagine it now, but there was nothing else as important as watching the TV at those times! :)

Impossible to explain to teenagers today. Just impossible. It was a creation of a great mind and the right environment. And in a much more innocent time.

Oh lucky you! Living so close. Yes, a much more innocent time. I was already 11 when you were 5. LOL.
