' In the Words of David Cassidy..'

-

'Four Weddings and a Funeral' will be today evening on our TV. I'm not going to watch it, once is enough, and like millions all over the world, I saw it in 1994. At the time I worked as a teacher and my high school class wanted to see it, and I remember we talked about it later. Mostly about differences between Poland and the UK. My country was still very poor. About that deaf brother..We also talked about sex a little bit.  But we didn't discuss that scene, no one of my students ever heard about David Cassidy, Partridge Family or 'I Think I Love You'. They were 18 years old..The 70s were prehistory for them..

152k views. Only that scene..Not bad. A low budget film, made in 6 weeks, became unexpected success everywhere, earned mountains of money and made Hugh Grant an international star. The script was written by Richard Curtis (born in 1956), whose partner (wife since 2002), Emma Freud (Sigmund is her great-grandfather) is a known broadcaster and journalist. And a die hard David Cassidy fan. In 2012 she wrote about her love for David herself.

What a story. David Cassidy had and has a lot of famous fans, it's a shame they haven't done something like Emma Freud. Quentin Tarantino, Lisa Kudrow, Brooke Shields, Val Kilmer, or Leonard Cohen who actually was a member of The Partridge Family Fan Club. And many more.

We have of course a wonderful play wrote in 2010 by Lucie Fitchett and Victoria Willing. Louise Poynton included their story in her book, 'Cherish David Cassidy A Legacy Of Love, and talked with them for her podcast.

So in the words of David Cassidy..'I think I love you so what am I so afraid of?'

  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...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  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...
