For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Dick Clark was THE King of Rock and Roll ... NOT Elvis.

He introduced EVERY American pop star to the world on his show before MTV came along ....Madonna, Prince, the Beastie Boys, Chubby Checker, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jackson 5, Janet Jackson. Etc, etc. He hosted the New Year's Eve special in Times Square in NYC. Did that for 40 years- maybe more.

I feel very strange as I've never heard of him, never seen him, never even heard the name before but the way you write I feel as though I have missed out. So I will find out more though and report back.

No one....I mean NO ONE knows how he made it to 82.

 

Most of America (myself included)think of him as being "around 40".

 

It is like he has been CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN IN TIME for the last 30 years. Quite amazing. His most amazing accomplishment? EVERYONE liked him. Try and find someone who didn't like him. Impossible. Not too many other celebs can really say that....
