C'mon Get Happy: Fear and Loathing on the Partridge Family Bus



A recent conversation with a friend about David Cassidy made me rummage through my clutter to dig out my copy of his sex- and dirt-filled 1994 autobiography C'mon Get Happy: Fear and Loathing on the Partridge Family Bus which, unbelievably, is out of print. I had to fact-check to make sure Keith Partridge did in fact commit TV incest by sleeping with his Partridge Family sis Laurie (Susan Dey) - he did, though it was after the show's run ended. I also came across my lone review for Baltimore's long-lamented Shockwave magazine, whose star writer was the legendary local rock and roll legend Todd Stachowski. I miss Shockwave, especially its "Letters from Assholes" column! Anyway, below is all the dirt you need to know about the former teen idol. Click on the scans below to enlarge.
