How Long Is Too Long..

or 'David's hair couldn't be too long.' Just amazing how his hair looked in that music scene. Centre and front it was, his very long, very shining hair..

I've watched it today, because  exactly 50 years ago  this episode was first aired. The Diplomat. With Richard Mulligan and of course Pat Harrington Jr., such an amazing man (I've read about him a lot, what a life he had). Pat Harrington was twice on The Partridge Family, first as Harry in 'Danny And The Mob', aired on November 6, 1970. He met with David again, in 1980, on The Love Boat..He played Prince Hassan. I bet they had a great fun together on and off the set.

And there is a new, just of wonderful quality copy of that episode, and..wow DC and those gorgeous girls..to be one of them..I've been carried away a little bit watching today David with moustache..

But let's return to How Long Is Too Long. From 'Bulletin Board', written by Tom Bahler, who actually was the real producer of that last Partridge Family's album, and Tony Asher..And Tony Asher..wow, maybe you don't know but he co-wrote 8 SONGS for one of the most important albums in the history of pop music, The Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds'. 8 songs, including 'God Only Knows'. Wow again. Really outstanding people wrote music for Partridge Family, for David.

I've started with David's hair, let's finish with David (and his long hair), and another boat. That episode preceded The Diplomat', first aired on October 27, 1973..

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
