...real Bette Midler, chantootsie extraordinaire, got the crowd to sing along with "The Rose" while waving their cell phones like cigarette lighters at a '60s concert.

They're terrific songs, and prove the lady's still got the lung power. (Does she take requests? Please, then, an encore of her late-70s gut-destroyer "Stay...

She was topless, in gold panties and leather boots, arching her body around the golden pole. It was incredibly sexy, but it was more than that. She was singing about Bridget, the saint of childhood, and how she spread her legs, as Markey, too, slid up the pole and spread...
...albeit chimeric—dream that provides the basis of modern pop culture. Within the extraordinary parameters of their synth-fueled daydream, success is attained only when they “Choke on [their] vomit / And that will be the end.” The dream they sing about is both extinct and unattainable, and they know it.In short, they’ve nailed the problem to which “Ask Me Anything” tipped its hat. They’re not the first to do it (again, listen to Metric and their song “Dead...
