Crazy Over You / David Cassidy

-

 

At last I've had some time to check the recent May's updates on The David Cassidy Official Website. I've started from the end, concert pictures published today. 

June 30, 2012, South Point Casino Las Vegas. DC at 62 looked just fabulous, and he was so happy on stage. It was such a blessing for David to meet his musical brother, Craig J. Snider. He helped David not to be just a nostalgic act, to change the music he performed and recorded, and move forward. For David, the members of his band became friends, even more. 

David Cassidy had so many serious problems in 2011 and 2012, but on stage he felt safe and happy. In many reviews we can read that in 2012 DC played outstanding concerts because he concentrated more on the music not on chatting with the audience. He returned to his roots, the music he loved listening to and playing in the 60s, and the 70s. Blues and rock.

David Cassidy playing Crossroads in 2012..Pure rock, such power and excitement, he looked and felt like 18 again.. his performance, singing and playing so raw and sincere, I just can't find words..

Thanks to Lucio and other fans we have more great videos of David Cassidy's concerts from 2007, 2008 and 2010. Each tape is simply priceless, and for me watching those concerts is extremely emotional, sometimes with tears in my eyes. David Cassidy with the Osmond brothers.

Jane has also updated the page called 'Ruby and the Rockits - Publicity', now we have interviews on the set with David, Alexa and Austin, 'Ruby' related TV and radio interviews and impressive number of newapaper and web articles. And adverts for the series. Really ABC tried to promote it.

I've seen all the episodes once, and even some episodes more than once, there are some funny moments. The previous year, 2008 was very emotional for David (Sweet Vendetta's victory but also David's statement of being an alcoholic). He needed a lot of support from his friends and family and Ruby became such an opportunity. The first episode was aired on July 21, 2009, the last one on September 2. 

I think the producers had trouble to decide who the show was for. It was meant for everyone so for no one really. Some ideas were borrowed from The Partridge Family. But gone forever were the times when the parents watched TV with their teenage kids like it was in the 70s. Alexa and Austin were attractive and they sang very well but for  the young audience the series was too polite and too correct. 

And David? Like always 100% pro, there were some great scenes with him, but in general he looked tense and like he was thinking about something else on the set and didn't care much.

And 'Crazy Over You'? I just love this song and it's playing in mind today and besides this is my entry number 800 and we are still crazy over DC...

  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...
