Time And Time Again..

-

 

'..and this boy's lost track..'. Like all of us I return to that song from..time to time. So important, for David and his fans. A testament of a friendship, wrote by David, Kim and Dave, 49 years ago. No one knew in 1973 that 'Can't Go Home Again' after years would take on such meaning. I love live version from the World Tour, Australia 1974. A young boy singing, happy to share his music with his fans.

And I've been thinking a lot about the 70s and about time today. 7 months of 2022 gone forever, days are already shorter and there are some unfinished projects we've been working on (with Jane, our webmaster) for such a long time. The Partridge Family's synopses, still 15 episodes left, and we started that project 13 months ago. And some other things waiting to work on  and to be published.

And of course The London Music Walk Of Fame. 923 signatures. What can be done more ?? David deserves that Stone, that recognition. 'tell me you love me, make me real..'

So tell him about your love and sign the petition.

And it's happened that today my older daughter has invited me to the cinema. Life has been hard for me recently and she said that I really needed some fun, something simple, nothing complicated. The new Minions film. A lot of kids with their parents, just mountains of popcorn..We laughed at different moments then those children. Btw I don't think the kids laughed as much as me, and some of them were rather scared.

Anyway the film takes place in 1976. Wow! Fashion, cars, vinyl records, old phones..that was fun. And the soundtrack. Various contemporary artists covering the 70s hits - 'You're No Good', 'Funkytown', 'Black Magic Woman', 'Goodbye to Love', 'Fly Like An Eagle' to name a few. Not bad, but of course those kids (and their parents) don't know the originals. I was sorry for Steve Miller.. what they've done to his classic.

When my daughter asked me if I liked it, I said : 'Yes, of course. The 70s are so popular again..but..'. 'No David'...'Exactly. No David. Of course he didn't have any hits in 1976'. 

But maybe it's better. 'C'mon Get Happy' was sung by The Ant Man, it wasn't bad because it was karaoke, so we could actually hear David in that film, but 'I Think I Love You'  in 'The Croods 2' was a cover and better don't listen to it.

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

Image
  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...
