I'm not waiting on you to suggest we alternate nights, I'm telling you we're alternating nights. Diana Ross in all likelihood was a selfish young lady, but I can see how tempting it might have been for her to pay someone like Mary no mind if you wait 20 years to say you wanted to sleep on the couch.
HA! I just had my first, true LOL today - thank you for that.

In Mary’s books, she doesn’t mention much about having friends prior to the group. It’s very possible that diana ross was her very first close friend, and I could see where as Diana grew into adulthood and changed and moved away from Mary some white that Mary had might have felt like a jilted lover. She’s certainly writes like one. I have never read an autobiography that has so much Information… Personal information about other people who are not the subject matter. And I imagine that diana ross at any age was quite a handful no matter how you look at it - but that same whatever it is, is what put the group over.
