8. In 2013 he had a DWI in Saratoga County, here in New York, did community service there

And apparently did it with good humor and grace.

5. That's the only song of his that came to mind.

I know there are others. One of the cheapskate TV channels (that is, over-the-air, for free, not on cable) runs back-to-back episodes of The Partridge Family on Sunday afternoons. They break out into song at least once per episode. The show isn't my cup of tea. I can't find the listings for it now. I don't tape it.

On the other hand, it's preceded by back-to-back episodes of The Monkees. That I do watch. They were much better than people gave them credit for. They benefitted greatly from Don Kirshner's Rolodex full of songwriters.

I had to choose my pinup photo of David Cassidy carefully. Some of them approach soft-core porn.

I think you know the ones I mean.

In homage to David Cassidy, I'm wearing a pair of throwback '70s vintage corduroy jeans with a wide leather belt with two brass rings. It's close to something he would have worn. It's similar to the lower one:



Fuzzy, but live:

This one is from the show:

6. I enjoyed the show even though I didn't get into the music at all. "I'll Meet You Halfway"

is actually listenable. Back to back Davy Jones and David Cassidy? I'll have to check that out. LOL.

9. Yeah. It's like

home delivery of Tiger Beat in a plain brown wrapper. (That thing is still being published?)

Bonus feature. From one of my favorite websites:
