In My Life / John Lennon, Paul McCartney

-

It's  still very hot, but days much shorter and we all are waiting for autumn. And the autumn (or fall as DC'd have said) makes me think about  another November 21st, that day approaching so fast..5 years. That's a lot of time.

What we managed to do for his legacy..Why we can't work together, be united, we the DC's fans. Not so many of us left. What can we do to make this day special.. And while Ive been wondering I got a ready entry from my FB friend, Pauline Tombs. It seems she's been thinking about the same as me.. 

 Let's first listen to the The Beatles' 'In My Life', that wonderful song loved and still love by millions all over the world. The song so important for David Cassidy, all his life.

Pauline Tombs :

We have a David Cassidy connection with the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral with a brick on the Peoples Path, laid for David's love of the Beatles, John Lennon, Blood Brothers and his performing in the City too!

There has been an exhibition there, called Being Human, and the focus is on:

Connection, Creativity, Identity, Reflection


I thought over the last few days how these sit in our lives and how they have impacted in the world of David Cassidy and groups, a place you would expect to feel the warmth and love of his wish of Love and Light and Making a difference but so often not the case!

David Cassidy had made a difference he would never have imagined since the 21st of November 2017. Just on a lighter side of these words, which will also as individuals leave us with some food for thought

CONNECTION
The love for David Cassidy has connected a world of people together and for some especially through the lockdown, likely made a difference to a feeling of isolation

CREATIVITY
The love for David Cassidy has given many a drive to engage with others to make things happen in tributes

IDENTITY
The love for David Cassidy be it right or wrong has I feel in the world of technology allowed others to be someone else, when DC only wanted to be him and share of himself with love

REFLECTION
The love for David Cassidy and his wishes, I feel should be reflective of him in anything we do, the person he was and his values

But of course as individuals these words to focus on are much, much deeper but there they are and something to be thought about as we honour David Cassidy respectufully and remember it's about him with Love...

    I have always enjoyed the Beatles' music. I'm glad that David did too, and that he became such great friends with John Lennon. I really love seeing and hearing David sing their songs. I love the way he sings them to us, his fans. It is as if he wants to hug us all individually. This is so touching to me. After he finishes the song, I also love the way he looks up and says, "Thank you, John," etc.

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
