'I Used To Like Him..'

-

I didn't want to write about it, but somehow this scene from a TV crime series has stuck in my mind and I know from experience that writing about something unpleasant helps forget about it. Of course it's nothing big..but.  

And yesterday, what a coincidence, Jackie Special from April 2007 was published on the The David Cassidy Official Website.

David's posters in girls' bedrooms. 

So it was a few days ago, very late evening when I was watching an episode of a new adaptation of P.D. James book called 'Death Of an Expert Witness'. (from 2023). I didn't watch very carefully because I'm a great fan of the old adaptation from 1983 with Roy Marsden as Inspector Dalgliesh (after DC, British TV crime series is my second hobby). So I was watching and didn't like it al all, also the fact that the story was based in the 70s, but there was nothing about the 70s in it. And I think the creators of the episode were also aware of it because at some point they decided to show a teenage room and a David Cassidy's poster on the wall.

This teen was a main suspect's daughter, extremely unpleasant, and a Police Officer wanted to talk with her in the girl's bedroom. And she said, 'You have a very nice bedroom, and what a great David Cassidy's poster'. I was so astonished to see a DC's poster (and what more unknown to me) that didn't think about making a pic. And the girl replied indifferently, "I used to like him.. but now I think he's gross." 

This conversation had no significance for the action in the film, so what for..It's made me angry and I remembered one article from the second part of 1972 when David played his last American concerts in the 70s, and some older girls were saying the same, that once they liked him but not anymore. 

I haven't found this article, we have so many from 1972 on the website, but I've found one I've never read before. He was working soo hard..

  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...

  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...
