Rideronthestorm:

I'm still in shock, I can't beleive it.
He has been part of my life since I was a little kid.
I remember watching American Bandstand 5 days a week @ 5:00PM on ABC.

Then they only showed it on Saturdays.
But we were still priveledged to hear new artists & great music.

Ryan Seacrest will be picking up Dick's mantle and keeping the
music alive and Dick's memory alive.
Dick's legacy is in very capable hands. he's going to do great things!!
