David Cassidy on the Web
Twenty Questions With Rock Star JOHN PAYNE (of ASIA Featuring John Payne)
September 8, 2010
The following is only part of the whole interview. Full interview here.
CM: What was the first record you ever bought?
JP: It could have been “Band on the Run.”
CM: Yours is much cooler than mine. It was Shaun Cassidy’s “Da Doo Run Run.”
JP: You know, it’s really funny you say that. My first girlfriend, she bought…the two records that she played at her house all the time were David Cassidy and THE CARPENTERS.
CM: (Laughs.) Here’s something else that’s funny. David Cassidy played Mohegan Sun the night after you played with SCRAP METAL.
JP: David co-wrote an ASIA song. He [and his wife Sue Shifrin] wrote a co-song with John Wetton called “Praying for a Miracle,” which is a really good song. David’s a very talented guy.
