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'..

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
