Bette Sings Woody Guthrie
Words fail me.
Except -- I love, nay, lurve that woman. 😎
Regular apolitical postings, more in keeping with the theme of this here blog, resume on the morrow.
Sort of OT, but -- one of my favorite things ever is from an old SNL routine, where Gilda as Baba Wawa is interviewing Belushi as Godzilla. And at one point he says "You know, everybody thinks I'm Japanese, but actually I'm from Hawaii. I went to high school with Bette Midler."
Barbara Hershey!

Thanks for this. Good to know that Bette is one of the good guys! (not that I'm surprised)
