Fallen Idol, David Cassidy may no longer be adored by millions of screaming girls but that doesn’t mean he has any problem loving himself.

New Bird talks about ‘In Search of The Partridge Family’ : "But what we’re faced with in America and the world, I think, is not unlike the mood of the country when we were in Vietnam and ‘The Partridge Family’ originally aired. What we’re experiencing now with Iraq -- it’s time to get happy," Cassidy said.

Sibling Revelry, a review of the concert on June 19th by Mark Wyckoff of Ventura County Star : Cassidy and Bonaduce shared the stage only briefly, when Cassidy called his TV sibling out for a bow, but the bond they share is evident. If they can continue to imbue their shows with such a constant sense of rebirth and rediscovery, the Partridge bus might just keep rolling on forever.

Partridge Pack is Back : Cassidy, 54, wants to recreate that intimate magic when he performs Friday at The Grove of Anaheim and Saturday at The Canyon in Agoura Hills. Yes, he’ll still do all the high-energy stuff, like "Rock Me Baby" and "I Can Feel Your Heartbeat," but he’s also going to bring his Takamine acoustic along and slow things down.

Partridge Family bus leads tide of nostalgia for Winterfest Boat Parade - The Kornahrenses broke out the paint brushes to make a retired 48-foot Broward County Transit bus look like the psychedelic one the Partridge Family used in the 1970s sitcom.

Partridge in a palm tree - David Cassidy settles in Fort Lauderdale - Well, rock me, baby ... That’s Cassidy you see all over town, at PTA meetings at Beau’s private school and on the baseball field, helping coach Beau’s team. Heck, Cassidy even surfaced at a recent public meeting to argue for partially closing a road in his neighborhood on the Intracoastal.

Cruisin’ back in style - more news on the Winterfest Boat Parade. "So it's fitting that Cassidy, who recently moved to Fort Lauderdale, will serve as the grand marshal of this year's parade. As he waves from the Lady Windridge yacht, another float will replicate the Partridge Family bus."

Cruising the wintry waterways - see this great picture of David on the Winterfest advertisement.

David Cassidy Pleads Case To Commission - David Cassidy and some of his neighbors asked the Fort Lauderdale City Commission Wednesday to approve installation of a one-way traffic diverter on South Ocean Drive.

The '70s are coming to town on Times-Herald. "It's tough to say what grabs David Cassidy's heart the most. Oh sure, there's his wife and son. That's a given. But Cassidy breeds and races horses, taking in events from the Solano County Fair in Vallejo to the prestigious Breeder's Cup. And baseball, oh my. Then there's his performing..."

Fame and Fortune: David Cassidy -- a Partridge in a good place on USA Today. Reuben Kincaid managed the finances in the ‘70s for the fictional Partridge family, but David Cassidy and his cousin keep their eyes on his real-life money. "He’s been helping me for 13 years. He’s an attorney who does all kinds of investments, wills and estates. He’s my cousin and I trust him."

Seven Silly Questions for David Cassidy, by Daniel R Coleidge of TV Guide.

Forever David--Partridge Family alumnus will sing ‘70s favorites from the Daily Republic. Don’t expect anything but the hits that Cassidy, 53, is famous for. He has a new CD coming out at the beginning of the year, but he won't play songs from it. "People want to hear the things they know. The things that make them have a relationship with that artist," he said. ...."I‘ve heard so many great stories about people that have grown up with me," he said. "I just know from my own experience what an impact your first love or first date can have on you. I just feel really blessed and wonderful that people still care and that I had a positive impact on them."
