Koolblue13 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I thought he was a robot. Interesting timing. Perhaps the Mayans were right. RIP to truly one of the greatest American Idols.

Champskins Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Daniel M. Snyder, Chairman, Dick Clark ProductionsOne of the real draws when we purchased Dick Clark Productions was the opportunity to build on the tremendous foundation of programming that this icon of American broadcasting created. I got to know Dick over the past five years and he was just as personable and warm in person as he was on television. Once you got to know Dick, it was obvious why he was so beloved by his fans. He was in every sense of the word, a giant. Dick Clark will be sorely missed. He was truly one of a kind. Little known fact, our very own Dan Snyder purchased Dick Clark Productions On 19 June 2007, Snyder purchased Dick Clark Productions for $175 million.

Jumbo Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It's almost impossible to exaggerate what this guy did for pop music in our culture and his mark on his field of TV entertainment in general. One of his more important functions, culturally, was how he championed showcasing black musicians in a mainstream "whitebeard" American context. That was a big deal when he was doing it and the way he did it. Musically, as well as socially, we are all much benefited by what he brought to the national table. He's one of those rare people who could not perform or directly produce music in terms of actual recordings, yet had few peers in his impact on the recording industry, and all for the better of everyone. He was one of those exceptionally rare individuals who for all his fame and influence, it will be unlikely that you will hear one bad word about him, and the array and diversity of those who praise him will be its own testimonial. RIP Dick Clark, apparently even "eternal teenagers" are mortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
