David Cassidy in the News
How Yucky It Is: The Icky, Sticky Teeny-bopper Tour
November 2, 1990
The Orlando Sentinel
We were most excited (not to mention, unpleasantly nauseated) to see that one of the acts in this year's Light Up Orlando lineup is David Cassidy.
Dave, of course, was one of the kids on The Partridge Family TV series - co-starring with his real-life stepmother Shirley Jones as well as Susan Dey (the L.A. Law babe). The Partridge Family had some hits as a recording group, including the No. 1 song ''I Think I Love You,'' and Dave became a major teeny-bopper idol. After some years of obscurity, he has recently returned with an album called David Cassidy - and, thus, he ends up at Light Up Orlando.
But you know what? The comeback road is littered with teeny-bopper idols. So, of course, we suggest a Monster Bubble Gum Teeny-bopper Tour - and here are the Top 10 acts we would put on it.
10. Dave Cassidy (of course).
9. Shaun Cassidy (Dave's half brother).
8. The Cowsills (syrupy).
7. Bobby Sherman (saccharine).
6. The Archies (sugary, sugary).
5. 1910 Fruitgum Co. (gooey, gooey).
4. Ohio Express (yucky, yucky).
3. Tommy Roe (dizzy).
2. The Osmonds (toothy).
1. New Kids on the Block (it's never too early for today's teen idol to become tomorrow's has-been).
