'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.

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
