Rock Star Merit Badge, David Cassidy Entry

Prompt: For the Rock Star Merit Badge. We are to write about our favorite Rock Star growing up, did we ever see them perform in concert, collect their music, join their Fan Club or hang their pictures on the wall?

David Cassidy. I fell in love with him when I watched The Partridge Family. Keith Partridge. I wanted to date him! He was on TV. I had records of him and The Partridge Family. Keep in mind. This made David Cassidy a Rock Star. He did all the singing. He redid the song Cherish. I enjoyed his singing. He was a heart throb. I joined The Partridge Family Club. I got 8 by 10 paper, black and white pictures of him and the group in a folder. What? No glossy pictures of David Cassidy with an autograph. I had his pictures on my wall. I saw him when I got out of bed. I would sing: "I woke up in love this morning." I wouldn't miss an episode of The Partridge Family.

Sadly, I never saw him in concert. I have color pictures of him on my computer. He died a few years back and there wasn't a book published about him. It is like he wasn't important but he was to me. He wasn't pure like Keith Partridge but are any of us perfect? When The Partridge Family ended, there were no more Partridge songs and you didn't hear much about David Cassidy. I guess he had four years of fame. I watched The David Cassidy Movie last weekend and shed a tear. That was a long time ago. He lives in my heart.
