Bette Midler On The State Of Culture In America: “I’m a true professional. All they (music fans) ever get is this year’s music. There are people who don’t know who Judy Garland is or Maria Callas or Stephen Foster, George Gershwin, or Billie Holiday. And there is nothing in government or the schools to require they know This should be part of spiritual and cultural education. All that stuff is the root of culture. Basically, you have anarchy without it. That’s what we have in this country now.” (1994)
