David, We Miss You

-

Someone has written this today, on one of our FB groups. And that we knew we'd loved him or something like that. No pics, just a statement. Of course a lot of people write about missing David Cassidy, me too, but somehow this sentence has stuck with me today. 

Probably because of the weather, so gloomy, and it has been a very low pressure, and I'm a meteoropathic. For me is always too cold, too hot or too windy..

But let's get back to the topic. Of course we miss him and I especially miss that older David Cassidy, when he was after 60 and had so many problems, personal, also with his health. Sometimes I think how David would have looked like after 70, if only..What he would have thought about this new world, because the world has changed since 2017, it has become less friendly (if I can put it this way)..what he would have sung..

He was with us when we were teens, young adults, more mature, when we had kids, and when we became middle-aged, in good and bad times, and now when we need him the most, his new songs, his support, his understanding, his words..now he is not with us. And don't tell me that 60 is a new 40, because it's not. I've completely forgotten about my 50th birthday, I was on a very demanding trip in Morocco at the time, and after 11 years my doc has just told me recently, "Forget about mountains, about going up and down, walking 5 miles every day. Try to remember what you have seen, experienced." What a poet. He could have been my son, young, fit man..What he can know about pain, about life..

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
