A hometown tribute became something far bigger: a community rediscovering the power of a singular voice. We take you to West Orange NJ where David Cassidy fans, friends, and family gathered for a two-day celebration that felt like a living scrapbook—motorcade to Colgate Field, a full-sized Partridge bus backdrop, and a surprise that stopped everyone in their tracks. It wasn’t just nostalgia, it was proof of a vocalist whose depth and range still cut straight to the heart. And after the day-time festivities, by night, The Highlawn turned into a dance floor under city lights, with a David Cassidy tribute band and tables supporting charities like the "I Think I Love You" Foundation.
We also share the first deep look at Once Upon a Picture, David Cassidy. This forthcoming, full-color hardcover book pairs Henry Diltz’s unreleased photos with David’s handwritten journal pages and dozens of interviews. Built chronologically, the book lets images do the storytelling while Henry’s memories reveal the trust, warmth, and craft behind them. The result is more than memorabilia—it’s a map of an artist’s life, told by a friend who was there.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
