Bette Was Right..

I should have never doubted that the Divine Miss Midler and thought she might have been wrong.

.

Much like me, she is always correct, even when she is wrong.  If you say it loud and long enough it will come true.  Case in point.

.
If you have ever seen Divine Madness (and if you haven't you should NetFlix it ASAP), you know that Bette Midler tells a story in which she travels the world doing concerts.

.

Now everywhere she goes, she sings a sassy and possibly impolite song - except Germany.  Before arriving in Deustchland, she decides she should not sing the song on this stop.  Why?

.

Well, the lyrics are such...

.

Hitler has only one big ball,

Göring has two but very small,

Himmler has somethin' sim'lar,

But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.

.

She does of course, sing it - balls out as it were.

.

But now, as it turns out, she was correct.

.

.

.

.

ps - She had all the Germans sing the song and they loved it.

.

pps - I know you may not believe this, but it is true (honestly).  My very very old boyfriend Greg and I were actually at the Pasadena Playhouse for one of the 3 tapings for the "Divine Madness" show.  She had a cold (and it shows a little on the soundtrack) and it was a long long long day and night.  But in between takes, as they set up the next shot, she would come out and tell dirty jokes.  My dears, she has a lot of dirty jokes!
