I loved Dick Clark, as many did ... I grew up

with him. Today I dedicate

my page to him ... a true legend and a

real class act no matter what he did.

Remembering

Dick Clark



Remembering

Earth Day, April 22nd, 2012








Thank you for the memories Dick

BELOW:

American Bandstand dancers

Unknown date








Included below are memories and lessons of Dick Clark's

which were excerpted from interviews and

speeches over the years.





"I have accomplished my childhood dream,

to be in show business. Everybody should be

so lucky to have their dreams come true.

I've been truly blessed."



Clark received the following awards:

He was also an inductee at several Hall of Fame locations:



Clark was best known for hosting long-running

shows such as 'American Bandstand,'

the game show 'Pyramid' and

'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.'







"American Bandstand was the original reality show.

I mean, it was an open window to kids dancing

and the fashions changed, and the music was there."




"It's hard to explain how a silly little dance show

with a guy playing records and kids

dancing could have any sort of lasting significance."




"Age ain't got nothing to

do with how old you are."




"I've always dealt with light, frivolous things that
didn't count. But I'm not ashamed of that, because
I think there's so much heaviness in our lives.
Somebody's got to be the class clown."


(above)

With the group ABBA in 1975

Playing on today's page ..


"People of all ages, more mature people — I'm saying forty and beyond.

But even younger people have said it on occasion:

"Thank you very much for being part of my life," or,

"I grew up with you," or, "Thank you for all the good times."

If that was my legacy, that's pretty good. I mean, I touched

a lot of people. Probably only rarely ever got them to change

their thoughts politically or morally or uplifted them. But I

took them away. Let them escape. And that's pretty big."




         





















Singing for you Dick!

Baby Cinnamon Buns


1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, divided
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the bottom of a pie plate. Add the brown sugar to the butter and stir to combine.

Unroll crescent dough and pinch seams together to create one big sheet.

Spread with remaining softened butter.

Combine white sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the buttered dough. Roll the dough back up into a log, and cut into 8 cinnamon rolls.

Place rolls in prepared pie plate. Sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon sugar.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Top with vanilla glaze (recipe follows) and serve warm.

Store leftover cinnamon buns (who am I kidding??) at room temperature.

Vanilla Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoons heavy cream

(or 2 tablespoons milk + 1 tablespoon butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla

========

With a fork, stir together sugar, cream, and vanilla until

smooth and pourable. Add one tablespoon of milk if needed

to thin. If using milk and butter instead of cream, heat the

milk and butter in the microwave to melt the butter, then

add to the sugar and stir in vanilla.














































Nearing the end and to Dick, the news that needed

to be reported was no matter how many roadblocks

life may throw your way, with determination and love

from family and friends one can achieve miracles.

For years, Dick Clark gave us all miracles, and

for that we can only say, “Thank you, Dick.

Thank you for all the memories and inspiration.”

Those will last forever.





I hope you liked my page today. I did spend a lot

of time with it as I wanted to try and find just the

right pictures and words for a man who touched so

many lives. Again, a real class act. As I leave you

with the memories ... I will be back on

Monday. I wish you a good weekend. Do be safe and

always be aware of everything and everyone around you.

Till then ......
