'Didn't We Have Ourselves Some Kind of a Summer..'

-

Yes, we did. And he knew how we loved him. We thought there was still so much time. For us to enjoy his concerts, new songs, interviews, new pics, his letters to us..For him to celebrate his long career and got the recognition he deserved like few others, as an artist, not a teen idol. And maybe had a happy private life.. I've thought about this song today.

Another 21st. Time doesn't stand still. Only in those horrible moments when we get really bad news. But that's the way it is and today I've spent a happy hour browsing the DC Official Website. So many interviews with only screenshots, not the actual videos. Like this pic. AM Los Angeles (whatever it is), May 1981. Why screenshots, there are 10 of them, but not the video? I have no idea. Let's watch and listen to David on John Davidson Show, June 16, 1981.

Amazing..the way he looked and his voice.

1983 is the worst. There are 21 DC's guest appearances on various American TV shows, and only 4 videos, and 1 program with screenshots. The rest are just titles and dates. I don't think it will ever change. Nearly the same with 1984, at least we have that priceless recording, the only opportunity to see David Cassidy for a short moment in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Enough of this complaining, only every 21st reminds me of the passing of time and the things that should have been done.

At the end one of my fav David's tv appearances. October 1987. Kilroy, BBC One daytime chat show. It is quite unique, not only because David Cassidy at the age of 37 looked sensational, so handsome and charming. He also looked healthy and happy. He had great success with 'Time' and was in love. And I think DC enjoyed the situation because the program started with a conversation with him, he was the star, but later he was just one in the audience, listening and taking part in discussion.

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
