David Cassidy a TV Star

-

I've been talking with my daughter today about the old tv shows we once liked, and that now is possible to watch them again on Netflix. For my daughter (she's a little bit younger than Katie Cassidy) 'old' means sth from the beginning of the 21st century. And I said how I'd loved to watch 'Malcolm in the Middle', because I missed it when it was on our tv, and I loved the episode with David, it was so funny..

'David was on it ?? Malcolm in the Middle? Really?'..'Yes, he was. 'Vegas' episode. He was an actor, and a good one, not just an eye candy. And I can tell you that he was a friend with Bryan Cranston, who also directed that episode with DC'. 'With Bryan Cranston??? He is a very known actor.'..'David Cassidy was very known too..even more.' 

Yes, they were friends, and Bryan does sth really extraordinary every year before Christmas. He puts the David's framed autographed pic in his backyard.. pear tree. You can read it about it in this article

My daughter's made me smile, her surprise, but of course we David's fans, we are used to it. You can read a lot of such comments. 'David Cassidy..who would have thought he was so good..'. 'The 'Flash'' fans still remember his role as a Mirror Master. From time to time someone writes that 'Man Undercover' was quite a decent show with a memorable David's role. Or there are such reviews like that one. David Cassidy as Billy Burgess (Bonanza). That article was published in November 2007 on  MeTV Chicago, here is a fragment :

'It's a thrilling emotional performance and an early signal of how much pure potential this young actor was working with. It also includes breathtaking views Cassidy fits right in as a young misunderstood rebel cowboy. He looked more like young Clint Eastwood than future Ricky Nelson..'

Please sign the petition. David Cassidy was one and only.

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
