'Show Got Canceled, He Went Away'

After nearly 2 months a new entry. A very short one. But I just have to write it. Maybe a song first, my number 1 today

Just amazing, what a commitment, the audience screaming and David thinking about each word while singing. He was an outstanding performer. Once my younger daughter visited me, we were talking and 'Cassidy Live!' was playing in the background, and in spite of herself she started listening. And after 'Please, Please Me' she said : 'you know mum, I've heard that song so many times (by the Beatles), but never thought about the words or the meaning of them, only  now while listening to David..wow..'

In February one woman published on Twitter her pic with DC in a car, she was covering his tour in 1991. A lot of people viewed her tweet, I don't know her but it looks she is a popular person. Anyway there were a lot of comments. Mostly usual ones, 'David was my first crush', 'He was so cute', 'I still have his poster', 'I wanted to marry him', you know. But one woman wrote this - ' When did he have a come back tour ? Never heard of it. Show got canceled, he went away'.

I wrote it down and pinned on a board. And look at it every time I start working on my book about David. There are so many people, I mean former fans, who have no idea about David's career after 1974. Never heard about his RCA albums, Police Story or Man Undercover, Blood Brothers or his run in Las Vegas. Never heard those wonderful, great songs he recorded in every decade.

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...
