It has been difficult to find the right title for today's blog, and at last I've found one, a song with the lyrics, 'you can give without receiving.'

Isn't just fabulous..With such a voice (and easy on the eyes and much more), David Cassidy should have recorded one album after another in the 70s. Such a waste of his talent that only 8 years later he had to appear for money on "Love Boat" or "Fantasy Island'..But let's get to the topic.

We've had an awful weather today, such an enormous heat, free sauna for everybody, difficult to do something, and I have a lot to do..what's worse everything irritated me. Even posts published on the DC groups. Why fans have to discuss all over again David's taste for the women in his life, and everyone knows better..Of course it's a free world (still) and I don't have to read fans' comments. Maybe one more song.

How it is sung! The rhythm, the passion, he really cared, it meant a lot for David, 'human kindness'. And at last I've read today something really wonderful about him. Something that stopped me complaining, instead made me think what I could do, not for myself but for others.

Of course we know, and it's worth writing all over again, about David kindness and generosity, charity work, his personal involvement. We don't know about many things because David Cassidy didn't do it for applause or for his personal glory..

Sorry but I can't remember on which DC group it was posted. Originally this story was shared on November 27, 2017, by Fred Beato. In 1972 he was in his early 20s and played with his band at restaurant/night club at Pasadena. And one night one food waitress asked him that maybe he knew anyone who knew David Cassidy. 

And it happened that Fred knew a drummer teacher who gave lessons to Brian Forster. The waitress told him that her 9 year old daughter was in Children's Hospital dying of leukemia, and this little girl was crazy about David Cassidy..she asked maybe somehow DC could write her a postcard or something. Fred said he did what would be possible, told this drummer...and 5 days later the waitress started hugging him and crying because David Cassidy, in 1972 extremely busy and at the peak of his fame, actually found time to visit this dying child at the hospital and he brought her some presents..

Love and Light..

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
