Meryl Tanz Part 2. Carol Kaplan's Podcast

When you've said 'a', you should be ready to say 'b'. Or curiosity killed the cat..Anyway I've written about Part 1 of that conversation, so I will not be a chicken and will write about Part 2.

But first a song, and this one will be the best for today's blog.

Yes, we are still very emotional about DC and we cherish those memories. 

Meryl Tanz. Part 2. We've listened to it in the morning (me and  my English friends) and we discussed it a little bit. 

So what can I say..

1,The most important thing is, that Carol Kaplan has warned listeners they would hear things they might not like. They have a choice. She is a pro. And she let Meryl speak.

2. It was touching when Meyl Tanz' said that she still lives in the same house which she shared for a short time with David Cassidy and that she hasn't remarried, I was sorry that her daughter Caroline'd had problems at school because of DC's photo session with  S.Fox. (Btw. what for he did it?)

3. Fans.. DC wrote about them himself  a lot in his books. We also know what fans thought about Meryl. But of course all 3 DC's wives had the same problem.

4. He said once (in 2000) 'the highes were incredibly high and the lows have been really pretty low'.

I think it's not only about his career. I mean, we (fans)  are all middle aged, we've seen many things in our lives, we know why DC had so many problems, why his character has changed over the years. It's very sad and..unfortunately also very common. We all know such people..Some of us are like David. Longing for something different. A glass is always half empty. Or we  experienced a time when drinking was a problem. When I had a depression I read (after many years)  R.L. Stevenson's 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' again, in my opinion it's the best ever book about addiction..It was a very sobering moment for me. So we know that David had his struggles and it's also a part of his legacy. And because of his faults we love him even more.

5. Of course, he always had problems with money, all his life, and he loved women, he wrote about it himself..

6. Meryl Tanz was sincere..There was one moment I laughed a little bit, when she said that she missed that glamorous time she'd had when with David..And I've thought to myself that I wouldn't like to have a friend like her.

So..conclusion. I read (and listen)  everything what is printed or talked (spoken) about David Cassidy. Because of my work for the David Cassidy Official Website. And I'm glad I've listened to it, I like to know. But today one of my English friends asked me - 'Do you think I should listen to it?'. And I said, 'No'. Because I know that for her  David is still, after 50 years, the one who 'came and  showed me light'..

Robyn Millan

  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...
