David Cassidy the Horseman

-

Yes, he was called that in 'Equine Lifestyle Magazine' in May 2008. Everyday on the DC Legacy Great Britain Group I publish 'Daily Quote From David' (with a pic). It only looks very easy to do, just to choose sth David said or wrote, write it nicely, check spelling and add a pic. Of course it's not very complicated, but sometimes I have problems with finding a right quote, an interesting one, food for thought and at the same time nothing too personal or even drastic. It should be sth to show what kind of a man/human being David Cassidy was. And since I started doing it (the end of April) and looking for quotes, I can't get over how many articles and interviews on the DC Official Website are about horses. And some videos.

How happy DC was..And it's like that on every single one pic with a horse. And even that he was so busy in the early 70s..look what the teen idol had in his car.

'I got my first riding horse when I was 15. He was stabled about 15 minutes away up a large hill and canyon, which I would have to ride my bike to get there. I would go riding after school' (Throughbred Style Magazine, May/June 2009). And other quotes about being happy as a kid only when he  could ride ponies or see races.

So many events David attended, especially in Saratoga Springs, his favourite place on Earth

Of course we all know about it..but recently I've started to think that maybe my friend B. is right. She's told me once; 'It's funny how much time you spend deliberating on those questions - Why DC didn't do this or that, if he was more  actor or a singer. Because for him it was only a job, he wanted to have money for his horses. That's all. And it was his choice where his ashes ..he didn't care if he would be remembered at all..'

'Horses..They are my soul food, they calm me down, and I find great fulfillment just being with them. They inspire me.' (Equine Lifestyle Mag, May 2008).

  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...

  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...
