My sister Phillo is heartbroken today. David Cassidy was her teenage idol. She had posters of him all over the bedroom wall and on the ceiling.  Da used to go mad at her for ripping the paint off  with the sellotape…

• David Cassidy but Bernie, can you believe it?
• Too sad Phillo…too sad
• When I hear him singing, it’s like I’m fourteen again
• I remember you and your mates going mad for him on The Partridge Family
• Keith, he was gorgeous
• Keith?
• Keith Partridge, that was his name in the show
• Ah I’m a bit too young to remember that Phillo
• Feck off, you’re not that much younger than me
• I do remember him on Top of The Pops alright
• My teenage crush
• Da said he looked like a girl
• The cheek of him
• Just because he had long hair
• …and wore a pink shirt
• Sure aren’t all the young fellas wearing pink shirts these days
• Da had one himself sure
• Oh god yeah, someone bought it for him for Christmas
• I think it was auntie Marilyn
• Trust her, but at least it didn’t have flowers on it
• He was dead himself before the following year
• Probably thinking he’d rather die than wear that yoke again
• I think he actually did say that to ma
• Jaysis, you just don’t know do you?
• He was no David Cassidy but was he? Lord have mercy on him
• More David Letterman really Phillo
• Still, David Cassidy Bernie. He was so young
• Same age as da
• ..and we thought he was an aulfella
• Remember when he forgot the words of the song and we all that he was drunk
• Was that at aunty Betty’s birthday party?
• Not Da, ye big eejit…David Cassidy
• Oh right yea, he fell off the stage didn’t he?, God love him.
• Turned out he had dementia and was on medication
• People are so quick to judge without knowing the facts aren’t they but?
• Eh hello, you were one who said “Look at David Cassidy out of his box on stage”
• Well you expect it with famous people don’t you? Being drunk onstage like. You don’t think of them being sick. He was really sick.
• Rest in peace David
• Sleep tight David… I think I love you   ❤
