Bette Midler On The Rose: “No, it’s not a thinly veiled movie about Janis Joplin. There will be drinks, drugs, ove and destruction. It’s a composite of all kinds of people trying to survive that decade That period was so full of ideas and energy. I saw Jimi (Hendrix), Tina Turner, the (Rolling) Stones, Janis … it was fabulous I used to tell people to slow down, but nobody ever listened. The ’70s have been singularly boring.” (1977)
