How Can We Hang On To A Dream / Tim Hardin

-

I have no choice, I have to buy a new phone. Great opportunity to remove a lot of pics and messages, and old whatsapp conversations. And while doing this I've found some hidden gems, some videos or articles I've forgotten about, and today instead doing something useful, I've spent some happy hours in my garden watching and listening and reading and admiring. and maybe there are fans who never seen some of  those so..

Let's start with one of my fav videos ..I just can't find words, only that life is so unfair and it should have been me with DC of course, not any of those girls.. He was so gorgeous..It's just incredible that one man had..everything. I've once read an article and  a journalist (a man) wrote that DC had a kind of face 'that launched a thousands ships'.Of course is a known figure of speech that refers to Helen of Troy, not to DC, but such a beauty can be a blessing, but  also a curse.  This amazing video is about making  the cover for David's first RCA album.

Another one is  from the 70s, May 1974, DC in a conversation with Ed Stewart. Also some wonderful screenshots from the DC Official Website, and how nice that Bali Ha'i was his fav song too (at least in 1974)

David singing 'Any Dream Will Do' on Merv Griffin, June 14, 1983. Wonderful, great performance.

Another interview..Very short and nothing what we haven't heard many times..but worth watching

One review, and I'm a kind of a collector of those reviews, written by music critics, fellow fans or just people interested in music. And sometimes they discover DC's albums, maybe they don't know a lot about him, but  they can appreciate his music. Like that one fellow blogger.

Today a lot of fans write about their sorrow, we still miss David. 52 months passed. And I've found in my phone that video..

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
