This is just incredible how versalite singer he was. And a perfectionist. Such a talent, but also so much work.

1530. The number hasn't changed for a few days. 1530 fans have signed the petition supporting the stone for David Cassidy in London. Music Walk Of Fame in Camden Town. Or even less, because not only fans have signed. My sister, one of my daughters, and it was the most sweet thing and a great surprise - my 23 year old nephew. So I can imagine there were more no fans.

I know there are a lot of reasons why only 1530 and I've written about it very often. Sometimes I read :'You can't seriously think it's possible? ' or 'For David? In Camden? Never.' I always think to myself what if people only engaged in pre-won causes ?? Humanity wouldn't come out of the caves. I engage in many projects because I believe in David Cassidy, I believe that we should keep going and promote his music, even that it's not easy, and often we don't work together. For many reasons, I will not write about it. Another song. The Partridge Family this time.

It's happened to David all his life. I'm writing a book about David Cassidy, about his career mostly, of course you can't write about him without mentioning his personal problems. I'm in 1993 with my story, so the most difficult part is ahead of me. And it was such a leitmotiv of so many articles, in every decade - 'Strange, but he could sing', or something like that. 

One critic wrote about his self-titled album :'it was an undistinguished mess, all production and no songs, you had to dig in earnest to find David's thin and tinny presence burned beneth the mix.' Or about 'Didn't You Used To Be' - 'The album has little revelation. Cassidy, once a crown prince of bubble gum pop, has (or really, really wants to have) a soul..

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
