David as a Spooky Kid

-

Someone called that the DC's character on 'Joey's Here', the 'Matt Houston's episode. David Cassidy played a genius and a dreamer. John Gordon Boyd.

But a song first. DC performing 'Gettin' It In The Street'. I thought about that program watching Matt Houston. How he changed from 1976..

Watching 'Joey's Here' turned out to be very useful. First of all, I've noticed that there is a wrong date on the website. December 1983, and  it should be December 1982, the first season of that tv series, and it makes a difference. For me at least, I always thought it was the DC's last role before he appeared again on Alfred Hitchcock on May 1988. But really the last role was on Fantasy Island, January 1983, nearly a year difference. When you write about someone on daily basis verified information and dates are a priority matter. 

Of course the website is huge, errors are inevitable. I'm dyslextic, and English is not my native language, but I find spelling errors, or wrong info from time to time. And if you notice sth please send it to jane@davidcassidy.com. It's very important, If we do not care about it, such mistakes will remain forever..

From The Partridge Family..someone wrote about this song yesterday on our FB group, and it's stuck in my mind

And David Cassidy on Matt Houston ? He did what he could. The Aaron Spelling Productions' tv series, those robots and live video games looked like from the 60s, Lost In Space. David badly needed money and work, he received only such offers in 1982. He did his best. It was wonderful listening to his voice. His character John Gordon Boyd is very boyish and very smart, could be very charming, but there's also a bit of madness and fanatism in him, and we don't know to the end if he's the murderer or not..

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
