Find Peace In Your Soul /Bill Dorsey/

When I was searching for a good title for today's post I've thought about that old TPF's song from Season1. It's scary how so many songs were about David , or mayby they were just very universal. He made some important decisions in 2005 to find peace and balance in his life..So the song first.

At the end of January 2005 , according to an American poll, David was announced as tv's greatest American teen idol ever. The best in history. He beat Ricky Nelson, John Travolta and Johnny Depp. Whatever he did he couldn't make people forget DC, a superstar , he was  an epitome of a teen idol forever stuck in time. He became a pop icon from the 70s. But it wasn't David's problem in 2005, he was concentraiting more on his private life that year.

Mayan King, I've already written about that horse and DC's high expectations .' If I could win the Kentucky Derby, there would be nothing on the face of earth . other than the birth of my son 14 years ago, to compare to the thrill and the high of it. The day I bought him I thought he was a Derby horse.'  (March23, 2005). That year DC said several times that he was more proud of his career as a breeder than of his gold albums..This is a link to the video made during the races , Saratoga, NY..Happy and excited David Cassidy with Sue and their son watching DC's horse 'Half Heaven'..

Also a lot was written about the upcoming UK tour called 'Once In a Lifetime' . David was to perform (as the most important star) alongside The Osmonds, David Essex and the Bay City Rollers . DC asked fans via his website which songs they would like him to sing during that tour. He also announced that the tour would be special because it would be his last outside the US.

'It was a hard decision but I made a promise to my son Beau never to leave the country for months at a time again and I intend to keep it. I can't do that to my son or my wife any more. (..) it's always been about the work and my fans who just continue to surprise me with how great they are.' (20th June, 2005 D.Thompson:'David's pretty certain he loves us', The Journal, Newcastle)

There were 11 concerts started on June21st in Newcastle. David Cassidy took his family to the UK , and 14 year old Beau accompanied him for about 10 minutes on stage at nearly every concert. He was very proud of him..At the same time he wasn't happy about his 19 year old daughter's career. David was spending a lot of time with Beau,  the boy was tall as his father, shared his passion for horses and music, sang in a choir and played bass in his own rock band. On August 1, 2006 they sang the national anthem together..

 I couldn't find any videos from that tour , we know that he sang his own hits but also The Beatles 'You Have To Hide Your Love Away', here is that song from another concert. It's amazing, it's not like a gig for money , it's like happy friends meeting again, David and his fans.

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
