'A New David Cassidy..'

-

We have been reading something like that since..truly speaking since DC resigned from his teen idol status in 1974. Of course, we fans know it's impossible. There was only one David Cassidy and not just because how he looked...

Perfection, everything about him, his beauty and sex-appeal. His charm and his style. There was also DC a very complex man and first of all David Cassidy a great, underrated singer. But when someone writes - 'Such and such is a new DC' - that person thinks about David as he was 50 years ago, a worshipped teen idol.

A lot was written about Zac Efron being a new DC, when he was on High School Musical. Born in 1987, he started his career in a musical theatre, later was tv, and the turning point of his career of course High SM, premiered on the Disney Channel in January 2006. David was asked many times what he'd thought about the young actor.

Zac Efron can sing, but he is primary an actor who still fight his pretty boy's image. I know nothing about his career, but I've seen him playing a serial killer Ted Bundy, and he was very good, really scared me.

And today I've read The Times' article. Wrote just 2 days ago by a known music critic, Will Hodgkinson, about Mercury Awards 2022. According to him only one musician could be a winner -'..Really he's the new David Cassidy : pretty, unthreatening, charming, likes to divert into acting.' Harry Styles, who's album 'Harry's House' is this year number one everywhere, all over the world..

It was nice reading it, Harry Styles is a very talented artist and we will never forget what he said in 2014 :

David Cassidy was much more than a teen idol, he should be remembered also as a great singer, not only pop, but also a music icon. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

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
