When Love's Talked About / Wes Farrell, John Bahler and Tony Asher

-

Oh yes, it's true. 'When love's talked about, love is through, it's run out of me, it's run out of you (...) when love's talked about, it's too late, so let's not talk it out or it'll turn to hate.' Really some lyrics of PF's songs were so mature and serious, but DC always had big smile on his face performing them. 

I've been binge watching The Partridge Famly during the last few evenings. It's started with Valentine's Day. A big day for commerce and kids, but rather irritating for me to see those countless DC's pics with hearts and roses. And mostly the present tense used. Yes, I understand, he became our dream boy more than half a century ago, and he stuck there, forever. It's not important really, that if David Cassidy lived he would have been 75 years old in April and we all are middle aged now.

And because of severe weather and not being well I had to stay at home. It was really hard for me, I'm used to daily long walks, and I don't know how and why but I started watching the series on last Friday and finished yesterday. 

It was different  than when I was watching TPF for the first time 7 years ago, and different when I was taking screenshots for the website in 2022, because now I know everything about it, the dates, the off the set stories, the guest stars, directors. all connections and cirumstances. All the songs.

Sure not everything was perfect, a lot can be said about editng and some music scenes. Keith Partridge, a superstar without money, instead with many problems at school. At home at 10 pm, asking his mother if he can invite a girl to his room..No drugs, no sex or even no cigarettes. But who cares, it's still such fun to watch.

What a shame they didn't have a chance for working together later. David and Susan. In a movie or another TV series, something written just for them. There was such amazing mutual understanding. 

I've finished my TPF binge watching with The Last of Howard. Bruce Kimmel kindly shared with us some memories of the night he and David performed after hours for the passengers abroad the ship (those lucky people - David sang 'When I Fell In Love'), and  we got from Bruce the original working script pages of that episode. It's so kind of him. He is an amazing man and very busy one, Bruce Kimmel is : an actor, director, music producer, writer  (he wrote 25 books!) and last but not least a blogger. He started his blog in 2001..Can you believe it ?!

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

-
Image
  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,...

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...

'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...
