Dick Clark Dick Clark Has Died

[Joyrex]

I honestly thought he was much older than that! New Year's Eve won't be the same without him - now I'll have to watch that American Idol host guy *blech*

[geosmina]

but he made great music! why do you call him a dick?

[Ivan Ooze]

[Hoodie]

this guy was some kind of pop icon. i don't know if he did anything important though?

[Guest Drahken]

It's not a lemon party without old Dick.

My only frame of reference for dick clark is the simpsons or futurama, one of them.

Started "American Bandstand", which inspired the Brit tv programme, 'Top of the Pops'. Damn you kids!

[Dan C]

I'm not British, but I know who Cromwell is was, and a whole host of other Brit-centric things - I think it's more an age thing than anything else.

Ahh okay

 

 

as a side note, Top Of The Pops was rather crap, having most of the musicians on the show miming their 'performance'. I'm glad that the BBC isn't wasting licence payers money with it anymore.

That is probably the worst comparison Ive ever heard.

 

Historical cunt of a militant vs some geezer radiohost turned tv personality.

Is that Wogan? I forgot what Wogan looks like. But when I googled Dick Clark I figured he was an American Wogan.

 

That's not Wogan. It's Tony Blackburn. Fuck off, Dan.

I'd expected this to be about Iradelphic or something...

My first memory of him was on "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes" with Ed McMahon.

 

Then of course there's that awkward interview he did with Prince on American Bandstand.

Maybe a better comparison?

This is inexcusable.
