'I'm Very Conscious of How I Look'

-

Jane published 40 new articles on the website, it was two days ago, and like a true David Cassidy's maniac I have read all of them today. But maybe a song first, my number 1 during my last week holiday at the seaside.

It's hard to believe this low number of views, 'Rosa's Cantina' is just sparkling with joy and laughter, makes you dreaming about holiday and having good time somewhere where is really hot, dancing and laughing, and I love the lyrics, like always DC didn't need many words to convey the mood of a song. And his magical voice, sure boys had fun recording this one. 

Let's return to the articles. We are constantly looking for something new, so are they bring any new info? Yes, a little bit, nothing really big, but I'm very glad I've read them.

So e.g. in the article published on Vancouver Sun, on August 21, 2006, we can read more about how David was marketed in the 70s, how his image was exploited. "I had an aunt who called me (..) She was in New York and I was in L.A. doing (Partridge Family) the show. 'I saw a full-size cutout of you with your arms out, and they were hanging David Cassidy dresses on your arms.' This was at Macy's at Christmas, okay? Needless to say they didn't ask me for approval about the dresses. 'Yeah, I love that dress. That looks very good on me."

Or (also from 2006) David Cassidy as a special gift for Mother's Day..I really don't know what to think about it.

In this one there is a wonderful pic of David and Danny and some more info on how Danny Bonaduce at last learnt to play 'Doesn't Somebody'.

There are a lot of concerts' and books' (Allison Pearson's and Davd's) reviews. Articles about fans in their 40s and 50s still crazy about David, following him everywhere. Some articles are rather sad, especially those from the last years of his life, or this one about his stolen ring and reward for it..

And last but not least, Nina Myskov interview with David Cassidy, published on November 16, 2001. The title of today's entry is from their conversation. A lot of personal details, about DC's diet and health problems, and how important for him was to be fit. I recommend to have a look at all of those articles, they are great and very moving read..

Robyn Millan

  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...
