The Partridge Family Experience

-

A couple of days ago someone wrote on FB about visiting The Friends Experience in New York, and asked if sth like that but with TPF existed. I've checked what it could be that Friends Experience. I've heard about the show of course but actually never watched it. I only know that one of the actresses, Lisa Kudrow was born in Encino, LA and in the 70s was a huge David's fan, even run his fan club or something like that. I've learned that it was created by Warner Bros, and it's not only in NY and not cheap...And of course I've started thinking about TPF Experience, would I  like it or not..

This is a new video about a former Columbia Ranch (now it's called Warner Bros Ranch), and at the minute 5th of it we can see how  The Partridge Family's house looks now, and later there is the famous fountain of course..

Amazing..So what about The David Cassidy Museum. I have nothing against museums, I love visiting them everywhere I go, especially in the UK, a lot of them are free and each time while in London I try to visit a new museum I've never seen before ( and a new park). Once I've spent a whole day at The Wallace Collection and on another visit fell in love with Sir John Soane's Museum. I also loved Liverpool's museums..except one. The Beatles Story.

I liked that part of the exhibition about John Lennon, great photos, his piano..but the rest. I don't know.. and I've been a huge The Beatles' fan for nearly half a century. And while visiting I couldn't stop thinking 'John wouldn't have liked  being a part of a museum, an exhibit'. Of course a lot of people love The Beatles Story Museum, they can learn  about the group and pop culture, the 60s..I don't know if I'd like The David Cassidy Museum..But I know I'd love to visit ..a place where his music would be performed live, a place with his posters and records sleeves displayed on the walls, and where you could have drinks called..let's say 'Last Kiss' or 'Hurt So Bad', and where on a big screen his concerts would be shown..Something full of life and joy..not a museum..

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
