<>_<>Tribute to Dick Clark<>_<>
This is a beautiful tribute to a man who reached out to teenagers instead of trying to force them into the "ways of the day"Sadly there will be no parade for Dick,no post mortem test for drugs or liquor. Shame for this IS the one entertainer that SHOULD be honored for his decency and role models that few entertainers,alleged rock stars and sports persons. R.I.P. Dick Clark
Included below are memories and lessons of Dick Clark's
which were excerpted from interviews and
speeches over the years.
"I have accomplished my childhood dream,
to be in show business. Everybody should be
so lucky to have their dreams come true.
I've been truly blessed."
Clark received the following awards:
- Emmy Awards (1979, 1983, 1985, and 1986)
- Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award (1994)
- Peabody Award (1999)
He was also an inductee at several Hall of Fame locations:
- Hollywood Walk of Fame (1976)
- National Radio Hall of Fame (1990)
- Broadcasting Magazine Hall of Fame (1992)
- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1993)
- Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame (1993)
Clark was best known for hosting long-running
shows such as 'American Bandstand,'
the game show 'Pyramid' and
'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.'
"American Bandstand was the original reality show.
I mean, it was an open window to kids dancing
and the fashions changed, and the music was there."
"It's hard to explain how a silly little dance show
with a guy playing records and kids
dancing could have any sort of lasting significance."
"Age ain't got nothing to
do with how old you are."
"I've always dealt with light, frivolous things that
didn't count. But I'm not ashamed of that, because
I think there's so much heaviness in our lives. R>Somebody's got to be the class clown."

With the group ABBA in 1975
Playing on today's page ..
"People of all ages, more mature people â€" I'm saying forty and beyond.
But even younger people have said it on occasion:
"Thank you very much for being part of my life," or,
"I grew up with you," or, "Thank you for all the good times."
If that was my legacy, that's pretty good. I mean, I touched
a lot of people. Probably only rarely ever got them to change
their thoughts politically or morally or uplifted them. But I
took them away. Let them escape. And that's pretty big."
Singing for you Dick!
