Meat Loaf, 74
« on: January 21, 2022, 08:21:48 AM »
Gosh dang it… I’m getting to be that age my parents used to tell me about - when entertainers I enjoyed as a youth begin dying at a more rapid rate. Many steamy nights as a teenager with “Paradise By The Dashboard Lights” as the soundtrack, that’s all I’ll say.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Jim Steinman died last year, so that's both of them within a year.   :'(

Stephen Fry recalled performing a sketch with him on the UK sketch comedy show Saturday Live in the 1980s. “I hope paradise is as you remember it from the dashboard light, Meat Loaf,” he tweeted. Of their appearance together, he wrote: “He had the quality of being simultaneously frightening and cuddly, which is rare and rather wonderful.”

He was a character.  And PBTDL was huge back in the late 70's and into the 80's...anybody of that generation who didn't know it, well...would be a good test for a Soviet sleeper agent or a fricken alien scout!

The old baseball play-by-play seamed into it still makes me chuckle...
