The Comment

But first Happy Birthday Timothy B. Schmit (btw B. is for..Bruce). 

As always, I'm late a little bit, he had birthday on October 30, and now (difficult to believe), he is 75. He nearly died 10 years ago because throat and neck cancer. Ex Poco and The Eagles of course, a songwriter, vocalist and bassist. The DC's friend..once. David recorded his song in 1979, better than the Poco's original (in my opinion of course). I love this song and first of all the David's interpretation. It's so ..cool and laid-back. Wonderful. One day I will make a video with that song.

So the comment. Maybe I shouldn't write about it, blame.. the leaves. We've had a great weather today and I've been fighting with the leaves in my garden. I have two huge oak trees,  I have no choice..So I've been raking, enjoying the company of some squirrels, woodpeckers and my own stray cat. (The cat lives in my garden, let me feed him, and sometimes brings me presents, dead mice mostly). And I didn't want it, but  started thinking about that comment. 

Recorded in 1979, 'Save Me, Save Me (Albhy Galuten and Barry Gibb)

The comment was published anonymously. And I have nothing against when someone leaves a comment that way on my blog. I know that such a person is a fellow fan, and I always try to answer all comments, on FB or those here. But yesterday I didn't know how to answer. It was written under an entry called 'Some Very Old Articles', about how I tried to make good scans for the website. Here is the comment :

'The David Cassidy. com and Facebook would no longer be approved by David if he were still alive. He would have moved on and developed a new site based in the US'. 

Truly speaking I still don't know what the author meant. No one knows what DC would or wouldn't do if.. Personally I would have loved to see him happy, healthy, retired and with his family, with his horses..And the website..We can talk about it, but many generations of fans have worked for it, for the David Cassidy legacy. Fans from all over the world. Also from Eastern Europe, like me. We all love David. Wherever we live.

This is my answer. Not anonymous.

And 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
