American Bandstand was produced in Philadelphia when I was growing up in Atlantic City. When the gal's piled into town in the summer, If you did not have at least a functional knowledge of what was going on on AB, the music and dances you could forget hooking up !!!!
If I had a "time machine" I would re-visit those days in a heartbeat !!!!
No drugs, we drove big fast cars, and drank a bit, but never drank to excess as you did not want to attract attention as we were all underage then !!!!
