I discovered that song just by a pure accident about 2 years ago. Wow , a song about David Cassidy and recorded by such young people. Called indie pop, this kind of music ( I've read), the song was released in February 2009, by three girls and one boy (on drums) from London and Cambridge. Such a happy, full of energy sound, I love that song. At first I didn't understand a word except  'David' , 'Cassidy', 'magic' and 'LOUD' , but it's not difficult to find lyrics in that Internet era... Amazing..Sure those young people had some old relations in love with David in the 70s..5000 photos of David..that was funny..but so true, so many hoped that even if Los Angeles was so far, far away , they would have found the way..somehow. Yes, it was like that. Great lyrics ,really has captured that mood, that collective dream..Sure, your magic's worked it's trick on me..

Even now, after half a century, there are some bedrooms with David's photos. Maybe it's a lttle scary.. but also mine. I didn't have any single DC pic in the 70s..now I have some..on the door of my room . Those pics  appeared there in 2018 when I started writing a book on DC..The members of my family had some problems with those pics..I'm not a teen, I'm a grandmother...but they have got used to them..after all there are a lot of  other pics and maps, drawings , paintings and posters in my room..

This is my 21st post , I started  just before Christmas. More than 1800 views, that's absolutely amazing.  It's also interesting to see where readers come from - the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Spain, Germany, Holland, Italy, Brazil, Argentina,.and also Poland and Iceland , but those are new fans (my family). Some people just looked and never came back again , but some keep reading ..about this amazing man, David Cassidy.. Thank you.

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
