Bette Midler
Paul Rambali, NME, 7 February 1981
Saturday night ended at seven o'clock on Sunday morning with one last bottle of Veuve Cliquot and Sunday began at four in the afternoon with Bette Midler. Normally I recommended a blend of coffee and neat alcohol in these situations, but if Bette Midler came in soluble form that would do nicely.
