'I Wouldn't Miss It For The World

-

This time I start with the PETITION, we cherish each and every signature, 1284 fans have thought that David Cassidy is good enough to have his stone..The London Music Walk of Fame.

David Cassidy and his fans, amazing story of love and in some cases  serious obsession, DC had some stalkers, in every decade. There were difficult situations for him and his loved ones. In the 70s several times he feared for his life, and in every decade there  were some fans agressive and demanding, who thought they owned him.. 

DC lost his patience a few times during concerts or public appearances, but of course it's absolutely understandable. There was only one David and millions of fans, day in and day out, all his life he heard how he was loved by strangers, how important for them was meeting him, just for a moment. He signed millions of albums, posters, pics, books and tshirts, kissed and hugged who know how many ..strangers. Of course they were fans.. He always understood that connection, that love, that responsibility..

DC was always aware, a few jurnalists wrote about it already in 1971. 

And yesterday I watched 2 videos  about the special meeting DC had with fans (137 of them) on Isle of Wight, in November 2008. Let's see the first video, happy fans going..and very tired and moved, and a little bit pensive David after the event..

Yes, he must have been tired. Jamie White wrote an article called : 'Friends Reunited by Evergreen Teen Idol'. The day long event too part at Cowes Yacht Haven, and DC invited each fan on to the stage for a minute (??) to ask questions and have photo taken with him. There was a buffet too with light lunch and drinks. Everybody said how David was happy, stayed longer than he intended, and missed his plane..

Each fan paid £299. That was a lot of money, and some fans came from the US and later saw DC in concert, 3 times, This Could Be The Night (3) Tour, On Nov 14 - Glasgow, 15- Manchester, 16- London.

The next day after the meeting DC appeared on The Five Thirty Show, very tired and still having troubles with his voice after talking all day long with his fans..

Doris, the fan from the USA said - 'it costs me a fortune but it's well worth it. I wouldn't miss it for the world..'

    Hi Weronika, thank you so very much for this! I love the video of the 4 girls (fans) who were asked, "What would you do if you could meet David?", and he came in the room and surprised them all! I love this video! I have seen it many times, and I always love to see how happily surprised they were to see him! I wonder where they are now, and if they are still fans? I pray that they are. Thank you so much also for sharing the video of David's Meet & Greet at the Isle of Wight! One of my David friends was so blessed to be there to meet David, have her picture taken with him, and see him in concert in Glasgow and Manchester! Don't you wish that we could have been there to meet him, too?! And, thank you so much also for sharing the beautiful pics and video of David on the Five Thirty Show! Thank you so much again for this great blog, complete with such beautiful pictures and great videos!

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
