Bette Midler On Experience The Divine: “I sort of forced people to look at our culture. In a funny way, we’ve become a country that has no culture. And a country without culture is one in deep spiritual and social trouble. Without culture, there are no rituals or anything to hold us together. Today, everyone wants to stand on his or her own square; they don’t want to join in the common culture.” (The Record, 1994)
