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.

  I learnt yesterday that Robyn Millan died last year. Someone published a post about the TPF's episode where she'd appeared as a guest star, 'Dora, Dora, Dora', Season 2 episode 1, aired 50 years ago, on September 17, 1971..And there was a comment about that episode that the script was poorly written, sexist etc. Maybe, no one would dare write something like that now, but the world looked different half a century ago..And I really felt sad yesterday because of Robyn. She started her short career in 1965, 33 credits, mostly tv roles - Mission:Impossible, The F.B.I, Hawaii 5.0, Ryan's Hope..But we would remember her as Dora, the girl Keith fell in love with, and Robyn, the girl David dated for a while.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZnk9RFKm0&t=1s  In December 1971 on Photoplay Magazine an interview with Robyn was published :' He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it off from that first day six months ago.(..) I resp...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 The Divorce David Bruce Cassidy was born on April 12, 1950 in New York City. He was born into show business, it was running in his blood. His parents were young and glamorous working actors. Jack Cassidy was 23 years old, Evelyn Ward 3 years older, both very busy with their career, frequently touring and absent. David spent his early years with his maternal grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey, just 20 miles from New York. He felt he was different from other kids, didn’t exactly fit in, his school friends’ parents didn’t look like his, they had ordinary jobs, like his grandfather, Frederic Ward, who all his life worked as a utility meter reader. David was a small child, slightly built, and had to wear glasses. During his life he underwent 5 eye operations. It wasn't easy to be the youngest, and not to have a brother or a sister. Someone to fight with, but also to play with, and to share love, good and bad experiences. He was a lonely child, brought up by honest,...

'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

'and sexy in a way that is timeless.' It's from Kevin Fallon's article published on www.thedailybeast.com on November  22, 2017.  Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but the newest article about David Cassidy on Record Collector Magazine, and first of all different pointsview of it, made me have a look on some articles published after this horrible day,  November 21, 2017. But first a song. We experience another heat wave here in Poland, I haven't seen a rain in many days, which is scary, so maybe a song about a rainy day. We miss David on any day, and this is one of his best songs. And amazing, very moving tribute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6qjfK72L8 We have 42 web articles from November and December 2017, on the website, and I can't see Kevin Fallon's on the list, even that I'm sure I sent it Jane last year, because this is not the first time I'm writing about this article. I'm a former librarian, I believe everything sho...
