'He Was One Of The Finest'

-

 

I haven't planned to write anything tonight, I'm still not very well after the cold I got while on holiday in Turkey, in December. Nothing serious, but that virus left me weak and lazy. So I have decided instead writing about DC, to check what's going on in my garden (we've had recently a visit of some wild boars), and also go for a really long walk. But it's impossible to spend a day without David Cassidy.

In the morning my wonderful postman arrived on his bike with a parcel from England. At last! A new calendar with the DC's pics from my very close friend and a fellow-fan, Doreen. I have quite a collection of those calendars now. But this time I had to wait for it quite long. It has taken Royal Mail and our Poczta Polska, nearly a month to deliever it. I've read some articles compering 1973 in the UK with 2023, because of strikes and financial crisis. Maybe..For us 1973 was the year David Cassidy performed in Europe. He was huge, a superstar.  Those lucky ones who saw him in concert, like Doreen..50 years ago.

Some of my close English friends saw David in concert in 1973, and they told me a lot about it, many really amazing details, how they bought the tickets, waited for that big day, how they got to London: they tried to describe that excitement and joy. I like the best the story how my friend Jane saw DC in Manchester. She was 15 and went to a very known girls' school, and was at the concert with her school friend. Politely sat in their seats, those two very well-behaved young ladies, Jane expected to see Keith Partridge, but instead on stage was very sexy, exciting David Cassidy, singing 'Rock Me Baby'. Of course they jumped on their chairs and started screaming like the rest of the audience. 

We have on the website  some great pics and an amazing video from Manchester. With a short interview and that question -  'What's the secret of David Cassidy ?'

'He was one of the finest'. Someone wrote it about David in November 2017, and I've read those words today. They've been posted on FB, on one of the DC groups, and  have stuck in my mind. Short and so accurate..Not 'he was a great, underrated singer', or 'a born entertainer', 'an excellent actor', but just like that -  'he was one of the finest'. Yes, he was.

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
