Made you look!
Dick Clark died yesterday, he was 82 years old.
(Remember some of this blog post is originally from 4-19-2012)
American Bandstand as most of us know it went on air for ABC in 1957. Clark was the host for over thirty years. Dick Clark looked like he was 40 until he was 70 then aged 30 years overnight.
Or something happened to the picture of him in the attic.
I'm sure the majority of people my age remember watching Bandstand and can hum the opening theme song. It will be a sad New Years Eve when Dick isn't around to see the big ball drop.
Who made the most appearances on American Bandstand?
Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon was on the show 110 times. I have no idea who is in second place.
Michael Jackson was in the news today, maybe him? He did appear on the 50TH anniversary show in 2002.
The program started in Philadelphia in 1952.
The first host of Bandstand from 1952-56 was radio D.J. Bob Horn. On July 9, 1956 Horn was fired after a drunk driving arrest. He was also involved in a prostitution ring and brought up on morals charges. Horn was temporarily replaced by producer Tony Mammarella before the job went to Dick Clark.
The Jackson Brothers are going on tour this year and may be taking a Micheal hologram along. I would advise anyone going to the show to pay for your ticket with the hologram of a Visa card.
Is this one of the screwiest things ever, or is it just me?
Will they sell holograms and blow up dolls of Mike. By the way, the holographic Michael will be performing several of his big hits including, "Heaven Can Wait" from the 2001 album Invincible.
You may have heard about the Secret Service scandal with prostitutes in Columbia? It seems the guys were fooling around when preparing for a President Obama visit. I guess the secret part of secret service isn't secret enough.
Just one more example of the screwed up political environment we live in. A Republican Senator from Alabama is pontificating about the situation. He wonders if President Obama is "Capably leading the government." He says Obama should take responsibility for the Secret Service peckers.
Hey man, Shut The F@#$ Up. Stop the ridiculous finger pointing and work toward real solutions to our very real problems.
The last few months Wanda and I have been using our Visa card for the majority of our monthly expenses. Safeway, Starbucks, gas and on line shoes. The bill this month is $800. The minimum payment is $15. With zero interest it would take over four years to pay this off.
And we sold all of our Visa stock two years ago.
Looking at one of the many eMail offers I get every day I read, Obama Steaks, save up to 65%.
What the Hell are Obama steaks and why would I want them, 65% off or not?
It was Omaha not Obama and not only steaks but potato's, ravioli and other food items. Who would order potatoes au gratin mail order?
I read some of the many reviews, here is one of my favorites:
"Overpriced for what you get. I might consider giving as a gift in a real pinch (if I had a great discount) but it would be a last resort."
Nothing says friendship and love like mail order meat.
