'Which '70s Heartthrob Posed Nude For..'

-

I've wanted to write today about the article from New York Times. It was published yesterday with the title. "Yes, Shaun Cassidy Is Still Dreamy".

Written by a Shaun's fan of course, her name Lily Burana, she had a big crush on him at school, and after many years recently attended his concert. David has been mentioned too, just a few words; a half-brother, a teen idol before Shaun, died of liver failure. And that Shaun paid a moving tribute to him. That's all. 

The article is first of all about nostalgia and whether is good or bad that we still care about our old idols. I've never thought about Shaun Cassidy as being dreamy, Or that he had a great voice. I've never been his fan. Maybe because for me he wasn't dreamy like his older half brother..

And when I've returned home after my daily knee rehabilitation, a very nice surprise was waiting for me, something which has made me smile even before I opened the package from America. Btw I'm a very well known at our local post office, receiving and sending letters and parcels to and from the UK, and now also to and from the USA. And it's all because of David Cassidy.

I've got a present from my special FB friend, Mary Anthony. It's really amazing how many wonderful people I've met because of David. Me getting post from America. And Mary has seen that magazine at a store and bought for herself and for me. And she has posted it, which always takes some money and time. It is so wonderful and heartwarming, those friendships we've made, we David Cassidy's fans. This is such an amazing part of his legacy.

TV Guide Magazine's Puzzler, with 1970s TV Crushes. On the cover among the other stars of that era is also David, his iconic image..hair, smile and pukka shells. And the first quiz, Ultimate Challenge, with that question, 'Which '70s heartthrob posed nude for Rolling Stone magazine in 1972?'

There are also The Partridge Family 5 Letters, TPF Word Sudoku and impressive TPF Criss Cross.  Yes, David Cassidy has been stuck forever in that moment in time, the early 70s, and nothing will change it.

However I like what they have written about him, '..as the family's teenage lead singer, Keith, David Cassidy defined being a heartthrob both onscreen and off. With good looks, charm and commanding stage presence, he not only adorned fan magazines during the show's four-season run, but also became an international superstar with solo albums and sold-out concert venues..' So true.

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
