To me this part is by far one of the best parts of the movie. I kinda wish we could have seen if this part had a whole musical to it. I know I would have gone to it. Bette Midler sure know how to carry her self and what she sings.

She just looks so powerful in this....even when she's down on her knees (do NOT go there, perverts!) in what appears to be frustration, despair and anger.

This is my favorite part of the movie, and I love that 30+ years later, many people have different interpretations of the song's meaning. I always got two different takes: for starters, the music is obviously evocative of a major industrial plant (very probably a steelworks), as evidenced by some of the lyrics and the fire in the stage play's background. The lyrics are from the point-of-view of the industrialist (seemingly an 1860-1900 robber baron) who created the plant, calling it his "shrine", "manor", and "wife". It seems he's likely at the end of his career/life and looking back on his legacy (mostly with sadness/regret) for causing pollution, pain, hunger, and his lack of faith, charity, etc. He's beginning to realize what his greed has done to the world around him. His company is still going strong , but the wind, the sky, the rivers, and the cities are polluted or in ruins. Now what will happen to him? What was it all worth in the end? It could be based on Andrew Carnegie, who built a steel empire, then sold it off and spent the rest of his life on philanthropy. Or it could also be Henry Clay Frick, chairman of Carnegie Steel and the "most hated man in America", due to his breaking the strikes of steel workers. Charles Schwab is another candidate, involved in the WWI effort, accused of profiteering, later squandered his huge fortune and died impoverished. My second take: she was singing about the Hollywood/entertainment industry. How someone who's reigned supreme over Hollywood for so long, is now having their downfall, whether it be because of age, illness, changing tastes or even death. I always felt like it was about the legacy they left behind, and wondering if it was really worth anything in the end. That artful, sudden self-awareness once our life's work is complete. Will I be forgotten? What's it all worth? I did what I thought was right, and maybe still do, as part of the larger machine. And how when you're just at the top, you'll eventually fall down.
