Bette Midler is "opening a park for kids on the Lower East Side," apparently. Anything to keep them out of the Johnson's, right? Anyway—Katie Couric was the co-sponsor. So here is a video of Katie Couric singing with The Divine Miss M. They duet on "Downtown." It's not that embarrassing, really. "When I'm 64" is a bit worse. By the time they get to "Age of Aquarius," though, you will be begging for the sober professionalism of a 3 a.m. Sunday morning performance at Second on Second.
