They replayed an interview he did in which he was asked if there were any important acts which never appeared on Bandstand -
He said there were only three: Elvis, the Beatles, and The Who.

That is very sad news. Thank you for making us aware of his passing, WhaHappened. He truly was an icon, and he had a hand in helping people become famous.
RIP to the World's Oldest Teenager.

Band on the Run
I am surprised that the early Beatles did not appear on American Bandstand. They would have been a great fit. Bob Dylan doing Bandstand strikes me as sacrilegious. His lyrics weren't an easy blend to sell Clearsil to teens. He was the anti-American Bandstand type. Dick Clark and he would have made a comical pair.
It is a shame Clark had the stroke. Since Dylan has been selling Cadillacs, maybe he would do Bandstand. I wonder what numbers the teens would give him, especially the dance vote.
