David Cassidy And London. November 2022

-

David Cassidy in London. Such a fascinating story, I've written about it many times, also about my crazy idea writing a tour guide. 'David Cassidy in London'. 3 years ago I was thinking seriously about it. I had 'know how'. how to do it, a lot of info, I came to London in August 2019 with only one goal - to see as much places, buildings connected with DC as possible. I took a lot of pics. I walked ..a lot. 

Knightsbridge, because DC lived there, in 'a little apartment near Montpelier Square', and of course I was outside The Dorchester and the Radio Luxembourg offices at Hertford Street..it was so deserted when I was there. no one, not only on the famous balcony. And BBC Broadcasting House, British Film Institute, and theaters and parks, and concert halls. Everywhere.

I was even outside Riatlo Theatre. DC and Kay Lenz on March 5, 1977 attended a film premiere there, and told the whole world about their love...

But I gave up writing that guide. With my dyslexia and what I know about London. Nothing really. I've read some books and been several times. That's all. And it was during that stay in 2019 that I realised that once I was in London on the same day as DC. 10 years ago. On November 11, 2012. Actually I was leaving by noon and he was to perform in the evening. And of course I had no idea about it..

The video is from DC concert on November 17, 2012. Liverpool Echo Arena. I was there too. Much later and outside.

Of course it happens. My very close friend D. flew (with her family) from Kenya to London on the day DC played the White City. She was a fan at the time, but even if she'd known about the concert ..no way.

I was in London on November 21, 2018. And I will be that year again. Hope so. I mean I have air tickets and everything but 2022 has taught me that nothing can be certain. Anyway this time I have a hotel booked in Kings Cross (Camden), also because I want to see The London Music Walk Of Fame with my own eyes (and I love Regent's Park).

It will be so moving to be in London again, especially on November 21...

    Hi Weronika, thank you so much for sharing this! I think that is such a GREAT idea to write a guide called "David Cassidy In London"! I'm so sorry that you gave up on it. If you ever decide to go back to doing it and publishing it, I would really love to buy it! I am always interested in places where David was. That is so great that you walked all over London and took pictures of all of those places where he was. Thank you for sharing the picture of the Dorchester, too! I'm so sorry that you left London before noon on November 11, 2012, and David did a concert that evening! I thought there would have been signs around or something. Do you know where he did the concert that evening? I am so happy that you have air tickets, and a hotel booked for November 21! I pray that it will all work out! If you go to St. Gile's Church, can you please light a candle for David for me? Thank you so much! I wish you a wonderful time with your friends, and visiting The London Music Walk Of Fame, Regent's Park, and all the places you visit! Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job doing David's blog!

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
