Rock Me Baby or Writing About David Cassidy

-

First a song. This one  is playing in my head today, Madonna was really good, but David Cassidy..Just listen to the lyrics, isn't that song about him? Who could say..'no'. No one I think.

Amazing. 

I have a good FB friend, Laurie Eby, she is a wonderful person and I appreciate her friendship and kindness very much. She always writes comments about my blogs, and they make me think and inspire me. She is every bloger dream reader, very kind and eager to praise, what's more she also has her own strong opinions on DC as a man and an artist, and she can write about it in very interesting way. A few times she's asked how I find time to write new entries so often. 

A song. For Laurie.

It's true that like every happily retired person, I'm extremely busy. I have a lot of responibilities, friends and hobbies. Always more work ahead of me than behind me, I'm grateful for it, life is exciting with new challenges. But every day there are things, not so exciting, but unavoidable. Cooking, waiting for a medical visit, pruning and cutting (and I have a big garden), doing exercise (my knee) etc..And while doing those boring chores I usually start thinking about something I've read on FB or on the Website, and a new entry is ready. 

Today about fan fiction. Of course this is something so popular, all over the world, there are many kinds of it, fan fiction even has own terminology, for example my short stories about DC belong to category called RPF - Real Person Fiction. Fans write books about fictional adventures of real people. Like popular writer Anna Todd for whom the inspiration was Harry Styles.

And I've thought about it because yesterday I read fragment of a book written by a woman who had or thought that she had, a short relationship with DC. At first I didn't want to read it but..curiosity killed the cat. It serves me right, because it was awful. It made me laugh, was so naive, but first of all it was so awfully written, a harlequin kind or even worse. I could have written better myself, really. 

And it also has made me think about Rock Me Baby..."You better hold me while you can..'

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
