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..

Robyn Millan

  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...
