Once a Teen Idol..

-

We've had a lot of really amazing new updates on the website recently. A new tribute, a new tv appearance and a new radio interview. Everything has taken a lot of time, and we are so grateful for those fans who worked on them and shared that new material with us.

Maybe a song first. My number 1 video (recently). I don't know how many times I've watched it. To be there..Just amazing and so exciting.

So I've checked how our new updates going on the website. What fans think about them, maybe they have an additional info (and they have in one case). But I wasn't prepared for that. Forget Lord M. and Beaulieu tribute or the DC interview for Canadian MTV, or the radio BBC 1985 interview. 

The June 1973 Tiger Beat Spectacular magazine. The link to it (scans) with one of the DC's posters from it.  More than 14k views, nearly 2k comments, and more than 1,3 shares..Wow. Once a teen idol..I haven't read comments, I know what they are..Cherish is the word..

And we fight for any single signature for the petition. 14k..

But of course I understand, David Cassidy was/is the ultimate teen idol..for ever and for everybody, fans and no fans alike. And nothing has changed for many fans since...1973. The pics are most important, and there are some spectacular (shirtless) in that Tiger Beat issue. I know, because I've actually read it.

That issue is not only about DC. A lot of letters asking about Donny, Marie and the other members of the Osmond family, and articles about Williams brothers, Michael Jackson and many others. But of course in June 1973 David was still the most important. The main article has the title ; 'David Cassidy : No Sad Songs For Me', how at last David is so happy with his career, being a teen idol etc. 

But not everything was faked. DC was friends with Elton, he bought some great clothes in London, and I think that one was genuine too. 15 the most popular stars were asked about what they summer romance would be. And David answered : " Gloria Steinem. I admire the thing she's striving for - equality for women. I like the girl who is striving for something and I'd like to know such a go-getter really closely.."

    Hi Weronika, thank you so much for this, especially "Cherish." I love this song! It is one of my favorite David songs. I really love the way he sings it. Thank you so very much again for such a great blog about David!

    The website proved to be an utter disaster following David's death. They chose to advertise The Last Session footage when David's family had done all they could to get it dropped. They showed footage of David in great pain, crying, and got rid and blocked anyone who didn't like it. They also tried to advertise Autopsy ... The last hours of, until David's cousin asked them to please take it off.

      It's hard to argue with such a statement, bc I think the website it's first of all a huge library, nearly every day is sth new, there are more than 12 300 pages, and a lot of people work very hard to save and preserve everything what DC ever did. If we do not do this, maybe many things will be lost forever. I can see that you don't know the website very well, bc a lot of controversial materials which appeared after 2017 are not there. If you have any problems or opinions, please write to Jane, I'm just a humble helper, one of many

    Sorry Weronika, despite what happened with the website after David died, that does not mean that there have been many good things put on the site about dcs life and talent for his fans to enjoy. It's just my personnel opinion those programmes should not have been advertised on there at that time.

      It seems I've been writing a replay for the first comment very long. It's a very difficult question what to put on the website, bc once we start to censor..but as I've written some things are not on the website, we all love David, we all care..it's not easy to meet everyone's expectations, and I admire Jane, it's a great resposibility..and not an easy job.

Robyn Millan

  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...
