"Real- Life Feather-Coiffed, Golden God Rock Star, Guitarist and Songwriter, David Cassidy."

-

A guy called Christopher Long has written this on 'INK19', that fragment is from Sound Magazine's review published there, and reading it in the morning has really made my day.

Not a teen idol, not a sex symbol or heartthrob, but 'golden god rock star'. Wonderful. 'Irresistible Partridge Family tunes', yes! so true, or this one fragment about 'You Don't Have To Tell Me', 'one of Cassidy's all-time best studio performances. To this day, it's still difficult for me to listen to this one and breathe simultaneously.'. 

I've fallen in love with Christopher Long. Thank you.

But it's not the end of today's nice surprises. Jane has posted a new video on The David Cassidy Official Website, we get every day a new video, it's just amazing, and who knows what the future will bring (I know a little bit but I can't tell you), anyway this one is from 1998, a segment from 'Heute Morgen Deutschland'. 

In the video, and David is called there again 'a rock star', there is a short conversation with DC looking sooo gorgeous, obviously in Las Vegas, with fragments of his performances from the 70s and EFX. And surprise, surprise - we can see very happy David Cassidy playing golf and signing autographs. The soundtrack in this short video is also interesting, 'Rock Me Baby', 'Intergalactic Circus Of Wonders' and 'I Woke Up In Love This Morning' from 'Old Trick, New Dog'. And last but not least a pic with Shaun taken  on the DC's wedding day, in April 1977. So a lot is going on in this short video.

The pic you can see is a screenshot from a TV series called FBI. That episode, 'Fatal Impostor' was first aired exactly 54 years ago, on January 4, on ABC. We have a copy of it on the website, not a good quality, but it's really worth watching. Not only because of David. Again he was playing someone younger, a 16 year old boy, whom widowed mother treated still like a small kid. Really good acting. It's not a big role, but important, and I think it was obvious for everybody how talented and charismatic young David Cassidy was..

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
