What Would Have David Thought..

-

 

if he'd known what some his middle-aged fans do every day??

But let's start with a song. My request which was played on the Seabird Radio on Sunday. I couldn't listen to it, because of the hurricane Eunice, no electricity, no Internet. My American friend Judy, wrote to me that it'd been played..

What it was what Craig J. said on 'The Last Session' ? Something about catching this still burning flame..'such a hungry yearning burning inside of me"..

So what DC would said if he had known that during last 3 days I've been doing (only because of DC and his website) sth I always avoided doing at work. Google docs, Google sheets...Or how fans fight about his commemoration. even if it's long and winding road. For 2 weeks only 411 fans were persuated to sign the petition (London's Walk Of Fame). When 2 days ago I was telling my English friend about my current work for the website, she asked me: 'Why do you do this? For whom? The old fans are mostly interested in the young DC's  pics from the early 70s, no way the new fans will appear'..I've answered that there are still a lot of fans..and I would do it even I was the last fan in the world. because I believe it's important.

It's so moving knowing how fans preparing for Las Vegas celebration in April. Fans from the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia. It will cost them a lot of money, it hasn't been easy (on the contrary) to decide to go in this changing world..but they are going to Las Vegas because they believe it's important. They will represent us all, they are preparing..Some days ago such a question appeared on FB ; "What is everyone wearing? For the events. Dressy, semi dressy, casual? Crossover?' A lot of answers, pics, discussion. Of course it's very important too, how they will look like. For one day, the most famous Las Vegas street will belong to David Cassidy and his fans. I hope his music will be played (very loud).

So what would have DC thought ? I don't know  I can only quote what he said 28 years ago .

' My greatest gift is that people whose lives I've touched and have had an impact on - always been there for me'. And we still are.

PS. And please sign the petition

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
