Treating The Boss with objectivity that expects better of him isn’t hate.


To your question, I met Mary Travers after a PP&M concert at Carter Barron Amphitheater in DC back in the 60s at the height of their popularity. The venue allowed a few fans backstage.

Peter and Paul had left for a recording session in NY so it was just her. Husky-voiced, gorgeous silken hair and way shorter in person that she appeared on stage. Significant acne, though.

She was genuinely friendly - someone asked what kind of guitars the guys had and she feigned not knowing, obviously to give me the opportunity to say, “Martins.” I remember the scene like it was minutes ago that she turned to me, tilted her head and with a loving smile said, “Ohhhh. Thank you!” I was in a trance for days. Probably still am.

Biggest jerk - funny I can’t think of one.
