Ein Schloß am Worthersee

-

A Castle at Lake Worther, a German-Austrian tv series. There were 3 seasons, from 1990 to 1993. In the episode aired on January 27, 1993, David Cassidy played a rock star, Patrick Riley, whose career was on the rocks because of..alcohol, gambling and beautiful ladies, and Sue played  Patrick's wife, Linda. That episode was filmed in July 1992, in Velden, Austria, and DC and Sue took their young son to Europe with them.

Someone wrote in a review that the series was quite good, like  'Love Boat', but better executed. Some former known American stars appeared on it. Telly Savalas, Larry Hagman, Linda Grey and David Cassidy.

It's difficult to write anything about his performance. DC told many times that he was interested only in quality and 'no garbage for money'..  but of course he had a young family to support (and his daughter Katie), and I've seen only fragments of his episode on YT, recorded from the TV, and in German. In the video we can see David and Sue..The fan who posted it, translated the conversation so we can read it in comments.

David  performed on the set his own song (the same was when he played another rock star, Joey Mitchell on Alfred Hitchcock Presents)

David Cassidy in Germany. This is a very interesting topic. He was very popular there in the 70s,  readers of 'Bravo' even voted him the best singer 3 times. Tina Funk and Urda Voss were running very important DC's fan clubs , in the early 80s they went to the USA  and Canada to watch DC performing in the theatre and show him their support and love. This is an amazing short video about DC  and his fans from Europe.

But on the other hand in March 1973 two David's concerts in Germany were cancelled of poor tickets sales. In 1985 he took part in 2 or 3 German's tv programmes promoting the 'Romance' album. And interview in 1992. That's all.

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
