'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. 

'Never been much for writin'..'

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.

  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...

  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...
