'I Kissed..David !'

-

 

The weather is to blame. It's like living in a sauna and waiting for a storm. It's so tiring..Anyway  yesterday I wrote about Austin Butler, the new Elvis, and his old role on 'Ruby and the Rockits' as Jordan Gallagher. And today I've wanted to write about the reasons the show was cancelled so fast. And also about my fav episode in which DC teaches Jordan/Austin on songwriting. Austin sang a few songs on 'Ruby'. I'd love to know what DC had thought about that teenager.  Austin was born in 1991, he was 18 when he performed in 'Ruby'

But suddenly I thought to myself - 'Who cares? Really, who cares why the show was cancelled? No one'.  Because let's face it, we fans of course appreciate DC's stage, tv or even film roles, but first of all we are still in love with David Cassidy..the most gorgeous man ever. 

We love to admire those old pics, we watch his tv appearances just to look at him (and his smile) and hear his voice. And we later write comments, and very often we use the present tense, as he were still alive. There is even one FB group called 'DC Lives In Our Hearts'..This is really extraordinary, and I'm afraid it will be like that to the rest of our days. And we listen to his songs all over again..And we love those old ones the best.

Of course it was like that from the beginning. That worship..I hope DC didn't read eg Music Star Annual 74. My friend B. gave it to me when I was in the UK last month. So far I haven't time for it, but because of that heat I've made myself a bucket of iced coffee and started..maybe not reading (I'm not 10 years old) but browsing in amazement,,Wow..Tiger Beat had a competition (in 1972) and the prize was - a kiss from David. We know how he hated being treated like a demigod..like that thing..

I'm not laughing or anything. I'm just wondering. In that Music Star there were DC's pics and a lot was written why fans loved DC and some of those statements are not different from anything we write ..now, after 50 years. Eg.:

'What you mean to me? - You are the sunshine. You brighten up my every day.'

'I would love to spend the day by your side.'

'If only I could meet you, I know we'd get along beautifully'


Of course David wasn't the only star who was treated that way (by the teen mags). In the same Music Star we can read similar stories about Donny O., Marc Bolan or Williams brothers. But only the David's kiss was a main prize.  The lucky winner was Sue Poitier from Denver in Colorado..

Some people have all the luck..

    As both David and Shaun had say in casting,my guess is David admired and liked Austin as he did the entire cast!In a sense, Shaun and David discovered Shaun in a way and I am sure Shaun is very proud and David would Beas well.

      I've read once again that old entry. I haven't written that DC cast Austin Butler, but only I'd have liked to know what he'd thought about him

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...
