“Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight,” the statement said. “We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man… From his heart to your souls… don’t ever stop rocking!”
Meatloaf was 74. That song was the “American Pie” of the generation jonesers.

Read about his demise early this morning. Wasn’t a big fan, but the Loaf had his moments. I thought his character in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” was pretty cool (not quite “Let’s Do The Time Warp Again”, but good), and yes I was a fan of that movie…

Many many Friday midnights were spent at the local theatre with the gang. A friend in the local cast was a dead ringer for Columbia.

Yes, he was a Trump-supporting anti-vaxxer and was a contestant on The Apprentice. I have really mixed feelings here.

Meh. Died from self-inflicted malicious stupidity. And who knows who he infected, hospitalized or killed on his way out.
Bat Out of Hell was classic, but no tears here. If he’s guilty of breaking the Fifth Commandment (Thou shalt not kill), that rabid bat will get kicked back.

It would be rude to speak ill of the dead, so I’ll put on a happy face. I’m happy he’s now the worm’s Meatloaf.

Yes, conflicted. As with Clapton and Morrisson. You admire them for their talents, skills, art, but then the rock is turned over and things crawl out. Of course, if my rock is ever turned over… ML gave us some solid rock opera. Sorry that he turned into a Trump-loving anti-vaxxer. No, not sorry; disappointed.
