David Cassidy Conversation With Piers Morgan

-

 David Cassidy still evokes strong emotions. In spite of the message - 'love and light', 'be kind..' etc, we fans are not one very happy family. Truly speaking I like when people have different opinions, of course they should respect each other . And recently I've had another conversation (this is a never ending story really) about why we (middle aged women mostly), still cherish David Cassidy's young pics and why I write so much about his career in the 70s.

What to say. Yes, it can look strange. I have quite a lot of DC's pics in my room. Mostly David in his twenties, photos made 40 or even 50 years ago. I have  his giant, original poster. And I'm not a 14 year old girl, on the contrary. A grandmother actually, a former teacher and librarian. Even my 3 year old grandson knows David Cassidy. I prefer to think that there is nothing wrong with those pics, they are just very nice, make me smile every day and that David Cassidy is a kind of ..hobby. I didn't know him, there is nothing personal, he was just sooooo beautiful ..and his voice in the 70s...magic.

 I love his music from every decade, he could sing everything, every genre, he was an amazing performer. I write not only about the 70s and I try to be objective, but sure I avoid writing about those difficult last years. They are still painful to write about, but of course very important  part of DC legacy. And that conversation with Piers Morgan.. for David it meant a lot and is absolutely amazing, even if difficult to watch.

I know that Piers Morgan could be controversial, he is not afraid to speak his mind, I think  he was great while talking with David, he tried to understand and helped DC who wanted to be honest with himself.

Piers Morgan put a link to that interview and wrote on Twitter on November22nd, 2017 : ' RIP David Cassidy. Teen superstar, troubled adult & lovely but very complex man. This was my heart rending interview with him in 2014 about his lengthy battle with alcohol addiction. He says it all, with courage, honesty & humour'.

Just half an hour, but difficult to wach at once, in one take. Watching David talking about such personal things, so helpless. But he wanted to tell about it, It was like taking us as witnesses that it would only get better now...but it didn't help..

  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...
