Yay for more revisionist history.

Give it up - nobody's listening.

I'm all for Mr. Creepy giving it up, but truthfully she said as much herself in one of those slightly gratuitous interviews you appear to swear she never gave.  To me it's fairly intuitive that an enduring love with an old flame could and probably did complicate her connections with others for a period.

SILENCE!

Damn, dude...

MEOW!

Dave Clark has a very active imagination and pretends to be more than he was.....I know -WITHOUT A DOUBT- he was not with Freddie when he passed. The man Freddie loved Jim Hutton, and the man who care for Freddie for 13 years were the only ones with him. Clark was downstairs in the kitchen and Mary Austin had dropped by for a few minutes earlier in the day and left. She spent very,very little time with Freddie ....do no believe all these stories in which a person attempts to make themselves more involved with the wonderful man Freddie.

Elvis has the Memphis Mafia. Freddie had these clowns. It's pretty simple.

While you wouldn't trust most of them as far as you could comfortably jerk them off, it's worth remembering that people like Jim were the ones sitting with Freddie while he rotted alive - we weren't. It's great for people to point the finger at how his circle behaved after he was dead, but like he said ' when I'm dead, who cares'.

(I'm paraphrasing).

Yet another troll who knows what happened when Mercury died, even though they weren't there.

The cash-in tell-all books are clearly where the truth are.

Rolling my eyes @ stupidity, yet again.

Mr. TheRealWizard - you're right, you are real idiot.

"The cash-in tell-all books are clearly where the truth are"

So we can't rely on the people who were actually there because they wrote books about it. Instead, we *should* listen to people who weren't there at all??? You just took those same people to task for not knowing what they were talking about! Sorry, but this makes no sense at all.

Go back to page 1 ... I don't need to repeat myself.

At the end of the day, none of us are qualified to say what happens in anyone's personal lives but our own.

Yet there will always be self-appointed experts who think otherwise.

Aha. You don't feel that you were doing some self-appointing when you describe Mary as coming across as 'more genuine' than the others?

They are a select small group of people who knew Freddie until he died. Maybe I haven't been huffing enough petrol lately but I don't see why I would trust any of them more (or less) than the other. The books were a cash in? Hello McFly! - Garden Lodge was a bigger cash in than any obscure book.

To argue that accepting money renders one's testimony as being unreliable would put Mary Austin in Lobsang T Rampa territory in terms of veracity. Applying our own standards is just silly. It's as silly to accuse Hutton of cashing in as it is to say that Mary Austin is a cunt. I'd prefer to see it as being that Jim Hutton felt hard done by and fell victim to the human tendency to talk about it, whereas Mary Austin got lumped with a bigass responsibility and had to make some tough decisions.

I mean, am I being unrealistic?

>Aha. You don't feel that you were doing some self-appointing when you describe Mary as coming across as 'more genuine' than the others?

That's just my personal interpretation. I'm not claiming to know who did what with whom when.

>Garden Lodge was a bigger cash in than any obscure book.

Sure, but the difference is - she didn't create the house like certain others created their books. You can't blame her for being an heir.

Can I blame her for not allowing Jim Hutton to sit with her in the front car during Freddie's funeral?

"You can't blame her for being an heir"

I consider that she inherited the bulk of the money, but Hutton inherited a situation. Right or wrong, it was obviously something he wanted to get off his chest. I'm pretty sure the book money would've come in handy later for his medical problems - honestly, I don't think it's too much to acknowledge that people react differently when a loved one kicks the bucket.

'sides which, I don't actually 'blame' Mary for anything especially. I'd happily tar her with the same brush as the others. I can't help that when I look at them all with a forgiving eye, they all come out looking bereaved and prone to odd behaviour. If I wanted to assess them harshly, I could easily find things I didn't like.
