I think it's such ashame that we are losing so many grate singers.

my personal favorite meatloaf song is you took the words right out of my mouth. I love the intro - on a hot summer night, etc etc etc

bat out of hell is good too though and I will do anything for love, but I won't do that- I always wondered what that is. lol

well that one was unexpected and 74 is way too young.
can't say i was a fan of his music but he seemed like a nice guy.

I just read that he had been very ill with Covid.

He was against vaccine mandates -- not sure if he was vaccinated.

My spouse read a couple of articles about that and him being an anti-vaxxer, but we're not sure if they're true. Has a cause of death been released?

The late rocker Meat Loaf was outspokenly anti-vaccine mandate and anti-mask before his death — once telling a reporter, “If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled,”  nypost.com/2022/01/21/meat-loaf-was-reportedly-anti-vaccine-before-dying-from-covid-19/

Well, my sympathy just evaporated.  I can't with people like that.

Okay so he was an idiot

 For those who listened to the radio back then, there weren't that many songs this long. Good car song.

I hate when someone I'm a fan of turns out to be a dumbass.

Ah well. What a disappointment.

Yeah, 74 is still young, nowadays. At least he was a good father/family man. Not a fan, but in his later years he certainly turned me off more than once with remarks and crazy stuff he did. Remember this?
