David Cassidy Being Together

In March 1976, Giovanni Dadomo interviewed David Cassidy in London. For 'Sound Magazine'. They met in the morning on the same day when DC appeared on The Russell Harty Show. And maybe let's start with the song David performed at the end of that show..I know I've written about 'Then I'll Be Someone' so many times, but I love that song and to think that it was just a coincidence that we have that live recording. And it makes me think about other songs, those we don't even know about.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZFHa3QOvkI So in the morning (the article appeared on April 3, 1976) Giovanni Dadomo met with DC at his hotel, and they talked also about David's plans for the future. What about a movie? "Well, I've read fine screenplay, but I'm not really sure I'm going to be doing it.' He has, he says, received a whole bundle of screenplays - everything from the obvious vehicles for his old blue-eyed, white-toothed Partridge Family ...

I want to write today about those movie roles DC was offered in the 70s. Or truly speaking about one role. We don't know how it really was, maybe it was just a gossip, but there is one article on the website with info, that in 1973 DC turned down the role in a film called '40 Carats'.  It happened that I saw that film in the early 80s on our Polish tv, and I remember that I liked it, but thought there was no chemistry between those two lovers, and first of all that it was absolutely impossible that 22-year-old man could have been in love with a 40-year-old woman. At the time I was under 20 myself so you can understand it.  In '40 Carats', Liv Ullmann plays a successful businesswoman, who on holiday in Greece meets a handsome young man, who helps her when her car breaks down. They goes for a drink and later..get to know each other better. Even that the young man is very nice (in that role 22 year old Edward Albert),  the woman thinks it's just a holiday fling, no...

Thanks to Encarni I've seen that video today ( for the first time ).. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad2HWkH7FDY And of course I knew that Steve and Jeff McDonald who took part in 'The Spirit of '76' movie were from a  popular Californian band called Redd Cross, but I had no idea what kind of a band it really was ( and still is). It's truly a cult band, the brothers started playing punk in the late 70s ( being 11 and 15 years old).. they influenced many, but never achieved a great mainstream success. Just have a look at that video, it seems they always just played what they wanted ..and at the end of it they talked about one of their fav albums..The Partridge Family's 'Sound Magazine'.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl4BtWCgvT0   'The Spirit of '76'. Released in 1990, sci fiction comedy starring David Cassidy, Olivia d'Abo, Leif Garrett, Geoff Hoyle, Redd Cross' Jeff and Steve, and members of another cult American group Devo, and R...
