Sing Me..

-

or with David Cassidy in Iceland. I've spent the last 2 weeks there. 

At first glance no connection with DC, but who knows. Actually between 1941 and 2006 there were American bases on the island, and American music, American pop culture have left their mark, but I have no idea if DC was popular in Iceland in the 70s. 

Anyway, like always I've listen to David's music every day, even if only for a couple of minutes before going to sleep..

Sing me..Tony Romeo wrote this song for David in 1973, but after so many years those words have special meaning for us, 'Sing me one of the songs and you've got me..Play me one of the songs and you take me..and life was a joy..'

Wonderful video and only 424 views after four years. How it's possible.

Of course my sister, whom I've been visiting in Iceland, knows quite a lot about David, she even once has watched The Last Session with me, and a few The Partridge Family's episodes. And while hiking in West Fjords, in that very remote part of the world, I've shared with her my thoughts and worries regarding David Cassidy and his legacy. The way David is remembered, still his image more important than his music. AI and how it could change everything even in our small world of DC's fans. David's last words and what we can learn from him, from his life. The 70s pop is not my sister's kind of music, but she really likes this David's hit.

While I've been away, a lot of new updates appeared on the website. Quite a lot about Ruby and the Rockits. I haven't time yet to read those new articles, but now at the end of this short today's entry let's watch the video which probably is not on the website, because DC is not mentioned. A short interview with teenage stars of the show. Alexa Vega and Austin Butler. What a shame it was just one season.

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
