Happy Hump Day!

"We're going' hoppin' (Hop!)"
"We're goin' hopin' today"
"Where things are poppin' (Pop!)
"The Philadelphia way, We're goin' drop in (Drop!)"
"On all the music they play On the Bandstand!"

Thanks for the music Dick!

If you haven't heard Dick Clark passed today, he was 82 years old. Dick's first day of hosting American Bandstand was July 9, 1956. I'm not sure how old I was, or when I started watching, but I can tell you there weren't many Saturday afternoons where our black and white TV wasn't turned on to hear that song when I was growing up. 

By the way, the words to the "Bandstand Boogie" were written by Barry Manilow and Bruse Sussman.

Bandstand Trivia: B.B. King is the only performer NOT to lip-synch on American Bandstand.

My favorite bozo story of the day...or as Frank Delima calls it "Babooze of the day..." A man in Munich allegedly had to flee to the police after a woman demanded too much sex!. Here are the details...after several amicably agreed upon rolls in the day, the man reportedly tried to leave, but she would have no part in that and insisted on more sex. According to authorities, that's when he ran to the cops for help!

Hollywood News...Johnny Depp is being sued by a disabled woman, who's in a wheel chair, who claims his security team roughed her up during a concert...Johnny is claiming that she isn't disabled, because there are reports that she went to see his movie "The Tourist" and actually walked out....(okay I made that last part up...sorry!)

This day in history...in 1994, David Lee Roth was arrested in New York City for purchasing marijuana. Back then, David was using it to party...these days he's probably buying it for glaucoma...(okay I'll stop)

Have a great day and tune in for your chance to see Yes in concert!
