'What Are You Doin' Tonight?'

-

This is the last sentence from the article I want to write about today, but first our petition, The London Music Walk Of Fame.

We are not doing very well recently, 1126 signatures, and it's going painfully slow, and I haven't wanted to write about it..but. Some days ago Jane has published on the website my new TPF's synopsis with some screenshots, and it's got more than 2,5k likes..Wow! And a lot of comments, rather typical, 'he was all over my wall' or 'the most gorgeous man ever', you know. How to make those fans sign the petition ? DC wasn't just a pretty face, he wasn't Keith Partridge. And btw The Wings Of Pegasus, 'Was David Cassidy One Of The Most Misunderstood Music Artists?' video has more than 62 000 views.. Nearly 1k comments. Just amazing.

So 'What are you doin' tonight?'...

For some time I've been doing a daily (if I manage) column for The David Cassidy Legacy Great Britain Group (I'm a proud member of it). At first it was called 'The Daily Quote From David' and later was changed to 'The Daily Quote About David'. There is always a fragment and a link to an article, they are mostly from the DC Official Website. 

From the start I've wanted those fragments to be rather..how to put it..uplifting, we need that 'love and light' and the DC's smile. Nothing controversial. But there are quite a lot of not so flattering articles about David we can find on the website. And it's great. Everything should be published. No censorship, never. Of course some reviews are very unjust, there were people, music critics, who just couldn't stand David, and I don't want to write about them. But there are also some articles, very interesting, which show DC and his teen idol phenomenon in different light (so to speak). Maybe a break. It should have been me of course..

This article, including a very unusual interview with David Cassidy, was first published on New Musical Express Magazine, on June 8th, 1974. The title ; 'Terminal Fandom', the author - Chrissie Hynde. Yes, Chrissie Hynde, the lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter of The Pretenders. She was born in Ohio in September 1951, but moved to England in 1973, and she wrote for NME for some time. And she wrote about David in London in May 1974. About the White City concert, his fans and about her conversation with him..I really would like to know if she'd asked that question (and what was David's answer)..Here is the link to that article. It's really worth reading.

  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

  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...
