Wham Bam, Glitter'n'Glam! Shaun, in the shadow of half-bro David's teen idolotry/personal hell combo, rockets to teenybop stardom from the seedy stages of W. Hollywood haunts. We go behind the shag!
OMG, Shaun Cassidy was the first full concert I ever saw, the first poster I ever hung, the main reason I watched The Hardy Boys. I got to see him just before the pandemic in an intimate show. I never knew beyond the hits although my friend and I did pull up Wasp to listen to on the way home from the concert. Going to check out that post next!
Wow, I don't know how you do it--the wealth of detail, especially in the backstories of even peripheral characters. Of course I grew up aware of the Partridge Family-It took me years to get over my crush on Susan Dey. But I never paid attention to DC's career after that-not unlike many other people, which of course is part of his tragedy. And Shaun was just a momentary pretty face on the supermarket checkout rags--thanks for filling in a bit of the real history.
Thank you so much for another great article. I read all of them, but I'm the DC fan so..but I also know a little bit about the Shaun's career too. Btw. he was very known in Poland in the late 70s, on the other hand DC wasn't popular at all. I don't know why. Poland was still a communist country at the time and the censorship was much stronger in the early 70s. so maybe it's the reason. I never heard the DC's music or TPF's played on our radio. We had more freedom after 1976 and more American music was avalieable. I can tell you the exact date of that pic with Shaun and David. April 3, 1977, Las Vegas. DC's wedding day. He married Kay Lenz on this day, and Shaun was his best man. Thank you very much again.
