or..'so much wasted time'..

David Cassidy's last words..They were talked about a lot, many wrote that it  would be a remainder for them, a man called Mike Curtis wrote : 'to have been a celebrity, enjoyed a time of fame and stardom, and then to say those final words about life..it's hard to take in.'. But being a celebrity is not the most important, it's a kind of job.. 

David Cassidy : 'Having all that - the fame and adulation and women and all that stuff they talk about - doesn't make you happy. You have to make yourself happy'

Let's  listen to the song about..words and the end of love. One of the most beautiful  sung by DC. Wrote by Sue Shifrin and Ken Gold

I remember when I first watched this video .. I cried..

It's happened that I was at the cinema on Monday. The last screening of the film I have wanted to see for a long time. 'Nomadland'. I've heard that the book is even better. A very good film, gives room to reflection and interpretation. Someone's said that it's a film about the failure of the American dream. I don't know, I'm not an American what could I know about life there. For me it was a film about choices we made and about coping with loss of material things and money but first of all with loss of loved ones. Coping with death.

And there is a moment in that film when one woman says  about 'wasted time'. She  repeats those words two or three times. And to the end of the film Ive been thinking what DC would have thought about it..

The film doesn't give easy answers. What works for one person can be bad for another. So many people couldn't believe when I stopped working a few years ago. 'How can you rid off the flat in the city and moved out..into the forest??' ' What are you going to do everyday??' ' You will not be bored? Miss your work and  your colleagues?'. No..but I'm a very lucky person, for me the glass is always half full and I know myself very well.. .And for some people life is more difficult than for others. Even if they have everything what  you can dream about..

This song was recorded on August 5, 1970. He was 20 and  so innocent and happy..

  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...
