As we were driving up to visit some friends over the New Year weekend, we were in the car listening to the radio, and during the news break, there was a story about the upcoming annual New Years Rockin' Eve show, and how prior to the start of the actual program, there was going to be a tribute to Dick Clark. The story then went over all the contributions that Dick Clark made to the world of entertainment, and one of the things was American Bandstand. And just like with the cassette, Alison asked "What's American Bandstand?"
My first thought was, "Am I that old?" I thought that EVERYONE knew what American Bandstand was. Sort of like everyone knows what Woodstock was, or The Cosby Show. Kris and I explained it to her and how every week, it was a ritual that you would watch American Bandstand to hear new music and see the popular bands, or singers. So much has changed since we were kids I guess. We watched on New Years Eve and made sure to point out to the girls which clips they showed were from American Bandstand. It was a nice walk down memory lane for us, but the girls were underwhelmed. They just have no sense of nostalgia I guess.
