Our Ask Billy question this week was simple.  Robert in Atlanta writes, “I saw a video of Bette Midler singing a protest song against Trump.  What do you know about it?”

It’s not a protest song specifically against Trump.  “All You Fascists Bound to Lose” was written by Woody Guthrie back in 1942 (he didn’t record it until 1944).  While not named, it was aimed at people like Hitler and Mussolini and was supporting unions against fascist rule.  Midler was familiar with the song and thought it apropos.  “You know I’ve been around a long time, but I have never lived through what we are living through now.  The great Woody Guthrie wrote this song many years ago.  I changed some of the words to fit our times, and I hope you’ll sing it when you are marching.”  The video accompanying the release features Bette alongside her Beaches co-star, Barbara Hershey, with cameos from numerous people including her Hello, Dolly! co-star, David Hyde Pierce and one of her former Harlettes, Jenifer Lewis.  You can check it out on BillyMasters.com.

When Bette is taking on Trump, it’s definitely time to end yet another column.  I just got back from a quick trip to LA.  I’ll tell you all about that next week on BillyMasters.com – the site that always delivers.  In the meantime, feel free to send your questions along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before DeSantis bans this column!  So, until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
