I remember April..David Cassidy's birthday.

-

 

I got it yesterday, from my son-in-law.Just amazing, so much trouble to make it..I don't  know what I'm going to do with it..David Cassidy's Corner on the outskirts of Warsaw. And it's not a first present regarding David Cassidy which I've got. Is it a little too much.? That my kids buying me presents related to DC ?. I have already some books, a lot of photos, keyring with DC pic, a giant poster, some teen mags, even  comic books and his albums. All are presents..but do I really need them? Where is the line between being a normal fan and an obsessed one. Maybe I should stop writing this blog...But today is David's birthday, not a good timing..and a lot of fans are going to celebrate..And me too, I'm a fan after all..

Why we do this? Celebrating  birthday of the man who died in 2017 ,whom most of us never met?  Of course , it's a good opportunity to talk about DC's legacy, some radio stations will play his songs..but I don't believe that we could make  his music popular again..Of course he is a pop icon..but it was so many years ago..50 years...that's a lot of time..

Why we still care ?..There are many reasons..He was the biggest teen idol when we were teens.It was so exciting to have someone like him ,DC just amazingly hit the demand and everything was  on the global scale , millions were  waiting for new albums, teen mags,his concerts..Great memories..Half a century ago..

I never saw DC in concert or in the theatre, never. So why ? I like his music very much , but I  like many different kinds of music, also jazz and classical music , there are a lot of great singers..But  something special was in David's voice. Magic..

And we also were sorry for him..That he was so unhappy, lost his money, was a victim of the industry..but life is not a fairy tale, and DC had his share of happiness, he was famous and rich...and his addiction , nothing is unusual in it. But there is something tragic, that the man who brought so much joy and happiness ,the man who had beauty, money and fame ,was so depressive and sad , and  lost everything..

He was an amazing live performer. I love that video..

Of course I should speak for myself..A lot of great things happened to me because of David Cassidy.

I've made great new friends, I went for a tour around the UK in 2018 , I was in  the U.S. in 2019 (which was really extraordinary), I've learnt a lot of new things  about American history and American pop culture , I've improved my English, I've learnt how to write and publish a blog (and made screenshots at last!) and I've spend many happy hours listening to his music or watching videos on YT..And I've also understood a lot of things about myself, about addictions or dealing with depression..And it's really  changed my life.. And  because of him I know  that I always should do what I love doing , no matter what others say.  And don't be afraid...And never give up..and C'mon get happy..Quite a lot of things. Very important..

Thank you David Cassidy..Happy Birthday... Daydreamer..

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
