Bette Midler releases Woody Guthrie cover video with Barbara Hershey

musicApr 25, 20262111,338

Bette Midler released an official video for Woody Guthrie's 1940 song "All You Fascists (Bound to Lose)," featuring actress Barbara Hershey. The video intercuts Midler and Hershey with archival footage and on-the-ground scenes from recent No Kings rallies, framing the remake as a direct rebuke to President Trump. By turning a World War II-era protest anthem into contemporary protest imagery, Midler positions Guthrie's song as a present-day rallying cry that connects past movements to current demonstrations.

Just in case Americans need to be reminded of what a fascist is and how our government came lose its democracy and be taken over by Trump and Fascism here is a list of fascist actions. See how many you recognize being attempted by the Trump administration ๐Ÿ™„!

I saw the Divine Miss M at the Greek theater in L.A. in early 80's, and she is still as fabulous as she was 40+ years ago! ๐Ÿ’™

I think Woody Guthrie would approve. Check out his song about old man Trump (dotardโ€™s daddy)!

She lost me when I saw that she was friends w/ notorious TERF, Martina Navrativola. I'll always question someone's overall character & integrity by those they choose to associate with. I'm deeply saddened becuz I was a huge fan of the Divine Ms. M for a very long time. No flowers for her.

Meidas. You are late!!! She made this for the last No King protest... do try to keep up! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคช

Every complicit administrative enabler .. including Musk and the Trump family .. need to face justice, at the blue state level, to prevent commutations in the future.

No one does it quite like Bette!

Viviane Wolfe, C-IAYT4

Ok, but when I see Bette and Barbara together I just cry and cry. Beaches was a cornerstone movie in my adolescent life.

Woodie Guthrie remake. They did a terrific job!

Made me tear up a little. It can be so exhausting.

jmichalicek.bsky.social2

Huh. Never expected to love a song sung by Bette Midler. Or Woodie Guthrie. I can appreciate him. Just not my thing. Although his son's The Motorcycle Song lives rent free in my head for some reason.

I love music with powerful messages like this! I respect celebrities, content creators, artists, etc. who use their platform to speak out against evil and help support the resistance movement

Dr A2

Keep the inspiring news coming! I havenโ€™t felt this hopeful in a long time that our voices are finally beginning to be heard in the darkness. Itโ€™s because we are so powerful when we stand up for goodness together.

I've always loved Bette Midler. I love her even more now.
