Divine Madness - Stay with Me

I was watching the DVD again tonight, after hearing references to Hitler's one ball in another thread, looking forward to having some fun and some laughs.

I was stopped cold during her version of Stay With Me.

I always loved that song, and especially the way she sings it and appreciated how she understood that it could relate to so many different types of relationships.

I just started crying thinking of all of the people just a few years after this movie was released, who would be pleading this same refrain for all the wrong reasons.

I know that Bette became a huge voice in the fits against AIDS and HIV - I just wonder if she knew how prophetic this song would be.

It is just an amazing song.

Based upon our PM's this afternoon, it was not one of the things I wanted to hear.

It just gives me the chills.

But, I recover in time for Delores and:

The question before us, is where is her clitoris?

(I think that is it, or does she have a clitoris - I was laughing so loud I forgot to make sure!)

Talk about an ice-breaker!

And, I did not realize all the drama behind the filming of the movie. It could be a film all its own.

I love "Devine Madness". Ijust picked up a second hand copy of "View from a broad" for, like, $3.00. It has to be one of the best books of it's kind-detailing a tour. It's like one of Bette's concerts.

How about Vickie Eadie?

That's an incredible performace of that song. I LOVE when she slaps the stage.

The times I've seen her perform the song live have been highlights as well.

I saw her in Brisbane, Australia last year- and a great number of the audience were extremely conservative, older heterosexual couples, and towards the end of the evening she started paying tribute to the novel way Australians mangel up the English language and then proceeded to talk about, how should I say this without being edited and taken to task, calloquial terms for female genitalia. And this was straight after "Wind beneath my wings". I was screaming, while the elderly gent beside looked confused.

I love the way she sings this song too - especially in Diva Las Vegas.

Had I known, I would have definately done my best.

Who knows, the guy I was with likes older men, perhaps we could have done a mix and match right there and then!
