Actually, one of the girls (usually a girl) would say about a tune, "It's good to dance to, and it has a nice beat..I give it an 85 or some such score." My oldest brother (13 years older!) would watch the show when he was 18 or 19, before he went away to join the Air Force and I was just a little girl -- that was my introduction to the show -- that he liked to watch it for the dance music. He would sometimes comment on the "regulars" or couples who danced every week. Some weeks, a boy would be dancing with another girl -- this was interesting to me. Imagine nowadays, if a little sister could watch a TV show with no harm that her way older brother liked to watch, and featuring urban teens. The '50s -- a wonderful decade to grow up in the USA. Thank you, Dick Clark, for being a very good role model for American teens for so long by being such a gentleman. You saw the fun in the music and the dancing and promoted it; if only the music hadn't turned so very, very ugly and dangerous. The American children and teens of today are also becoming very ugly and dangerous--maybe because the adults who brought them into the world want to remain "America's oldest teenagers." As keepers of a Western culture that is now very coarse and in the gutter, we must accept growing up to change it.
