Paradise by the Dashboard Light will always be a favorite of mine. I wish his friends and family well and hope that more people will take Covid seriously.

RIP Meat Loaf

I didn't know until today, but I guess he auditioned for SNL and made it, but turned down the show because he got a record deal by then.

[Iron Maiden]

Meat Loaf also liked to hang out with the Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. In fact probably his last filmed appearance will be in an episode of the relaunch on Discovery Plus in February.

I remember he went with them to a haunted residence on a private island and he was really into the investigative part of being a 'ghost hunter'.

Unfortunately, he was an anti-vax Trump supporter who said he would accept dying of COVID, which he did.

I remember him saying how sorry he felt for Greta Thunberg for believing in climate change. His music was great, he was not.

Damn. He was screamingly funny in that one. I remember an episode where the police were giving him on air reaction tests as the gave him booze in one of those commercials aimed at kids to tell them not to drink and drive. The joke was.....he got better and faster as he got more drunk.

He also has the unfortunate distinction of having been in the most unfortunate movie of all time, "The Other Side Of Midnight". Let's just say that one had the worst release date in movie history and leave it at that.

I don't think the release date really was the nail in the coffin of that movie, though I'll admit I never saw it . . .

It was not a good movie, based on a trash novel.

True, but Fox thought it was going to be their salvation. Imagine their surprise. And I still think that being given the single worst opening date in movie history had to hurt.
