	American Bandstand
		At that point, white, middle-class American youth culture moved away from the rock 'n' roll dance music that had become the staple of American Bandstand, opting instead for the drug-influenced psychedelia of the Vietnam War era.
		While American Bandstand attempted to integrate many of these styles into its format throughout the 1970s, the show relied heavily on disco, the emerging alternative to psychedelic art rock.
		Consequently, American Bandstand became even more ethnically mixed at a time when the predominant face of the aging youth culture in the United States acquired a social pallor.

		It premiered locally as Bandstand on Philadelphia television station WFIL on October 7, 1952 in "Studio 'B'", which was located in their just-completed addition to the original 1947 building (4548 Market Street), and was hosted by Bob Horn.
		The show was picked up by ABC (becoming American Bandstand) on August 5, 1957 after some badgering from Clark to the network to put it on nationally, broadcasting daily (first live, then on kinescope when Clark went on tour with the singers) until 1963 and then airing weekly until 1989.
		Standout performances on American Bandstand include a chaotic 1980 appearance by the (at that time) abrasive art-rock ensemble, Public Image Limited—a fact often suspected of being an urban legend, which is nonetheless confirmed by broadcast videotapes and by Dick Clark himself.

		American Bandstand soon became the stop for such major acts as Jerry Lee, and became a showcase for new talent, including Frankie Avalon, Bobby Darin, Connie Francis, Fabian and others.
		But the ratings declined, and "Bandstand" was no longer the barometer of teenage taste as it had been in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.

		Rock and roll is used in American Dreams as an affective device, a surefire way to elicit and deploy nostalgic feelings and memories of the early 1960s, even in viewers who were very young or not yet born at the time.
		Even though it feels like a publicity device, the association with American Bandstand makes a point long denied by the arbiters of rock culture, that television was (and to some extent remains) crucial to the spread, development, and popularity of rock and roll music and the counterculture.
		Even the much derided American Bandstand captured early rock and roll's excitement, and even though its audience and dancers were strictly segregated, it provided a forum for African Americans on television during a time when their presence on that medium was rare by design.
