- it wasn't really American Bandstand to us back here anymore. We only used to watch to laugh at how they would (couldn't) dance in California. LOL!

As for Dick Clark, we thank him for bringing us all the music after school way before any MTV or VH1! He was smart, he had class, and he could carry a beat.... I give him a 10!

With much respect from a Philly dancer.
