Show me an American boomer who didn't grow up with Dick Clark and I'll show you a boomer-in-a-bubble. My gosh, I can conjure up our den in Massapequa, where I watched and listened, as early rock 'n' roll unfolded. Even the introduction of my Neil Diamond happened on "American Bandstand", in 1966. And how 'bout that Rate-A-Record segment of the show? Ever classy and ever young Dick Clark had the beat. May he rest in peace and eternal love. He'll be missed -
another chunk of childhood gone.
