 'Thank you. For all of it. For all the decades. I don't think I do. I know I love you' . David Cassidy, March4, 2017

We too..We know, and we knew this from the start. So difficult to explain to strangers, not fans. 'Why do you write about David Cassidy? He was just a pretty boy, a singer, famous only for a while. A teen idol..Why?'. Sometimes I say - 'It's just a hobby. People have strangest hobbies than mine'. But this is not just a hobby. Why we still care..because we do. With each year there are less David's fans, for many different reasons, but there are still quite a lot of us all over the world.

Of course it's also a generation thing. David was our own idol and we were teens in the 70s. We aged with him. Some of us became wives, husbands, parents, grandparents, widowers or divorcees..We've faced all those problems which life brings, no matter if you are poor, rich, beautiful or ugly, a librarian or a teen idol.. old age will get everyone. How  difficult it must have been for him, once so beautiful and famous.

I've got today an email from my friend, Sharron Liddle  She's written : 'David left an imprint on our hearts that is a permanent marker, a guide and compass in our future lives.' Yes, so true. We believe him. Because he was always himself , he didn't pretend, he was true to his words. It doesn't mean DC was a superhuman..on the contrary, he didn't hide his problems or his weaknesses. We felt for him, witnessed his struggles.

Sharron : 'Our love and devotion to David legacy will continue as strong as ever never losing sight of what David meant to us all, helping us through times of need and happiness in our lives when there was sadness.

This united David Cassidy togetherness has brought so many blessings, good deeds to charities ans still brings light into people's lives. All done with David at the Heart of it..'

Happy New Year  2022.

    Happy New Year Weronika, never tire of writing about David. I believe that whoever is a fan is forever to a greater or lesser extent, if we are less and less, it will be because we will all go with him, little by little, it is the law of life. We would have to get the new generations to know the art of David, it is difficult, but I know that there are young people committed to maintaining his legacy.

      Happy New Year Encarni, big hug. I know some fans who's forgotten David.They got rid of his albums, memorabilia, and they don't want to talk about him anymore.'We should live in present and it was so many years ago'. But of course you are right, once a fan always a fan. So beautifully written and so true - 'we will all go with him little by little'..Yes, I think that DC wouldn't be popular on global scale again, but there will always be people listening to his music, he was a great singer. We will be fans to the end so grateful for everything.

  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...
