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..'

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...
