I remember my mom watching Bandstand when I was a preschooler in the late Fifties.

This is a really tough one for me....:( Heading over to Mark Lindsay's board---of course, Dick gave Paul Revere & the Raiders their big break by putting them as the house band on his 2 year show, Where The Action Is back in '65. I know this is really hitting Mark hard...:(

thank you mr clark for your charm, smile and love of music that helped make this country a better place. my mother especially was sad to hear of his passing, for her he was a contemporary(she's 80) she had emigrated to this country just around the time he started his career and for someone who didnt speak english as a first language he was a cultural ambassador bringing some of the best of america into her life.

Hey, I sure will. Didn't know you were from Oregon---Mark was born in Eugene...I know Dick was not in the best of shape---he had diabetes as well as struggling with the effects of the severe stroke of '04, but this was still really unexpected---out of left field. :(

I didn't know Mark Lindsay was born in Eugene; so was I.

Wow. Yeah, seriously....:) He was born in Eugene on March 9, 1942. He lived in many towns in Idaho growing up, but the Raiders really got it together in Portland...

I knew they started in Idaho and made it in Stumptown; didn't know the Eugene connection. Any word on memorial plans for DC? I assume Mark will be part of it.

Haven't heard anything about a public memorial yet. There is to be no funeral....and Mark has been strangely silent since Clark's death. :-/

Alice Cooper On Dick Clark

Posted on April 18, 2012 by gearsofrock
Alice Cooper remembers the iconic American Bandstand host Dick Clark in a statement on AliceCooper.com:

“I used to come home from elementary school to watch American Bandstand. It had all the new songs, all the new dances, and it had the happiest guy in the world presenting them to you. I had no idea that later in my career I would know Dick Clark on a professional level. I ran into him some years ago, and he said to me “Hey Coop, if you had your own radio show, what would it be like?” I told him it would be more like the free form FM stations of the 60’s, where the DJ’s actually played what they liked and demographics didn’t play a role. He said ‘Alice, why don’t you do it then?’. Just like that, my radio show Nights With Alice Cooper was born. It’s been 9 years later and I’m still on the air! And let me just add that NOBODY loved rock n roll more than Dick Clark!”
