He was so dreamy... so my wife says...
David Cassidy died today, and now I have that on my conscience. When my #2 Group, The Back Porch Majority, and I were on tour with Shirley Jones, we played Pittsburgh, and David, Shirley's stepson, came running onstage at our rehearsal. "I heard that Randy Sparks is here," he said, "and I could hardly wait to meet you. I had my first drink at your place on Westwood Blvd." I was stunned, mostly because he was famously so young, likely about 23 then, and Ledbetter's had been gone for a few years, so that meant he was too young to drink when he said he did. "I was fourteen," he said, almost proudly. "How was that even possible?" I wanted to know, as we were so very careful in carding everybody. "I didn't have to buy it," he admitted, "because the older guys would slide the glasses of beer to us along the back wall." I'm so sorry that he's gone. He was a very nice boy.
Ugg. First Charle Manson, now this?!?! Who's next, Justin Bieber?
I was in high school when the show was on TV. My older sister loved it but I thought it was silly. Still don’t see the attraction.
The show was great. David was talented, indeed.
My sister (older than me) had posters of David and Mick Jagger on the walls in her room.

Gosh, well over 24 hours and no vitriol about addiction, being a scumbag, etc, like the "just another dead crack whore" comments when Whitney Houston passed.
Henning is dearly missed. <not>
We expended all of our vitriol for this week on Manson. Though I’m sure we still got some in reserve.
