RIP Meatloaf

[Betty Boop]

Every song was just ridiculously long. I enjoyed this one most back in the day. Volume needs to be loud though, my laptop is not doing it any justice at all.

For Music, sweet Music, has Charms to controul,
And tune up each Passion that ruffles the Soul!
What things have I read, and what Stories been told
Of Feats that were done by Musicians of old!

I love music, loud, that sure does ruffle the soul!

You think that's bad?

I watched a documentary on him a couple of weeks ago. Not that keen on his music but he seemed like a good chap. RIP

However, he was another Anti-Vaxxer who ended up dying of Covid.

My first encounter with him was in the '70s. I was bumming around California, and dropped on on friends who had moved out the San Jose. they invited me to join them to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show (Something I had yet to experience) Later that week Meatloaf was doing a show at the county fair. His showmanship was better than his music.

We crossed paths a few more times, over the years. He was fun to be around, in a drunken head-banger sort of way. I lost track of him after I quit drinking, and got married. ( or was that "Got married and quit drinking"? mmm, nevermind)
