Touched By Lighting / Alan Tarney, David Cassidy.

First a song. From "Romance' album, about being struck by lighting, electric shock and excitement

What an amazing performer David Cassidy was. I've thought about this song in the morning while reading comments about AI and its possibilities for us, the David Cassidy's fans. I've talked about it later with some friends and not everybody knows what it is. They will know soon, there is no escape from it. My friend, who is a lecturer at one of our best universities has told me they already have problems with fake diploma thesis, it's just the beginning, and no one can imagine how the world will change because of AI.

Maybe another song, written in those ancient times when people still wrote letters. This is one of my favourite songs from that album, and what a great video.

Of course we all are so excited when a new pic is discovered, we are waiting impatiently for the Henry Diltz' book, it was such a joy to watch videos from Spain, from March 1973, and hear David Cassidy singing live on Estelar Del  Sabado. Maybe there will be more such treasures in the future. Who knows. We are in difficult situation, David Cassidy died nearly 6 years ago, there is nothing new, no new songs, new interviews, so we post old pics, sometimes photoshoped, fake. It's happened to me too, I had no idea because they were so  cleverly done and I was sure they were genuine.

Another favourite

And there is fan fiction, I've written some short stories myself, maybe settings were real, but the rest just my imagination, you wouldn't have believed how many people actually have read my last story. A lot. And now with AI it's just a matter of time that we will be able to see..a new Partridge Family episode..and it will be just a start. 

Personally I'm glad that I'm over 60, I'm from the 20th century...

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
