Seriously? Cassidymania redux?

"Teary fans from throughout the United States, Europe and Canada are frantically requesting front row seats, backstage passes and even special permission to “touch” actor, singer, songwriter, and guitarist David Cassidy, who will perform at Queensborough Community College on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 8:00PM."

"In fact, Cassidymania has reached such a fever pitch at QPAC that David Cassidy recently posted a message on his official website, imploring fans to not be “overly persistent with venues”.
The superstar, along with his rock band, will perform the all-time favorites I Can Feel Your Heartbeat, Come On Get Happy, I’ll Meet You Halfway, Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque and more."

Seriously? Who wrote this? It seems just a little over the top, no? And "superstar"? Today, in 2009, in the age of Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers and Lady Gaga's video garnering 50 million+ views on YouTube, is David Cassidy still considered a superstar? Gotta love all the monikers used to describe Mr. Cassidy: actor, singer, songwriter, and guitarist. They forgot race horse breeder and humanitarian.
