On The Divine Miss M Character In Songs For The New Depression Tour: “She isn’t anywhere near as bitchy as she once was. She’s much”¦not calmer, but softer, I think. Not so garish. What I’ve tried to do is turn it into a more theatrical presentation, not so much dropping the character as softening her – the sound of the voice, the mannerisms. “It’s not so much the bitchiness as it is the sound of the voice that drives me so nuts. I can’t stand that voice anymore.” (Los Angeles, 1975)
