David Cassidy has died.
I liked him more than Donny Osmond, back when they were vying for the screams of "teenyboppers". His family (fictional) was more fun than Donny's (real). And I was too young then to really resent the stars who got the girls, that only kicked in a couple of years later when bloody Travolta corrupted sweet Olivia.
But Cassidy doesn't seem to have had an enviable life at all. Who would want suffocating stardom for a brief flicker, and then decades of trying to cope? Poor sod.
