That's a rather tender subject....A greaser from the freezer like a Bat Out of Hell.

As an awkward looking fat kid with somewhat long hair in my first two years of high school, Meat Loaf always gave me hope.

Caller to Cap/Hood saw Meatloaf at a show with Boy George as the opening act- definitely got his money's worth pound for pound. An odd pairing, musical-genre concerned.

Meatloaf played Four Winds in New Buffalo pre-covid, and got great reviews,

Shitty musician who died of, er I mean, with COVID-19. An unvaxxed Trumper to the bitter end lol.

You hoped to turn out like Meat Loaf?

Meat Loaf story by Jordan Rudess (keyboardist for Dream Theater):

In the late 80s, I was asked to audition for Meat Loaf. I had about a day to prep. We didn't have streaming services and couldn't access sheet music on Google in those days. So I ran out and bought a few Meatloaf CDs and transcribed the songs I needed to learn for the audition. I practiced a few songs from Bat Out of Hell and some other Meat Loaf hits and felt fairly prepared walking into the room. We were kind of broke at the time and this job, besides being super cool to play with Meatloaf and his excellent band, could provide much needed financial relief. I'm thinking, I nailed it. It's going to happen.
After the audition, Meatloaf turns to me and says, Man, what is someone as talented as you doing auditioning for a fat fuck like me. You belong in Carnegie Hall, not on my stage."
I didn't get the job but that's OK. Other good things were about to happen...
RIP Meatloaf

Dan Patrick replayed part of an interview with him, asked about what to call him, of course, "Call me Meat". Said he was very bright red at birth, and his Father, a Texas cop, told the nurses that he looked like nine pounds of fresh ground hamburger in the bassinet. He instructed them to write MEAT on the name card on the baby crib and place him in the middle fo the front row of babies in the nursery, so everyone could see. Been Meat ever since.

The real name was Jim Steinman

R.I.P.

Howard Stern was replaying some interviews he had with Meat Loaf over the years, and it sounds like Meat had no shortage of women, at one point being with four at the same time.
