and regardless of how many boyfriends she had on the road, if that’s how she coped with the intense pressures they were under, it’s a lot healthier than the way Florence and Diana dealt with it. Mary loved men and absolutely saw no reason to hide it. She loved to have a good time, and she did.
and, I agree with spreadinglove in that Mary’s accessibility to the fans served her in great stead over the years, as well as the fans. Everybody won. I understand the point he was trying to make and it worked for Ross. Mary made deep, lasting,loving relationships with some fans that lasted her lifetime. This was beneficial to the group and Berry should not have tried to make mary into something she wasn’t.
