Whenever I think of Meatloaf, and I don't very often, I imagine a bloated and sweaty, frilly sleeved jester singing Paradise By The Dashboard Light with girls hanging onto his chubby legs as if they desperately need his seed to save the human race from extinction.
I never got him. I never got his music. Paradise, an anthem for the young or drunk, made #39 on The Billboard Hot 100 in 1977. Pretty good considering the playing field in those days. 8:28 of puerile nonsense, cut down from its original 27 minutes! Imagine sitting through that?

| Skipping past some cameo movie and TV appearances, Meat scored a prime time slot on The Celebrity Apprentice Season 11, which I'm sure he and his manager hoped the exposure would lead to a new generation of Meatloaf fans. Perhaps it could have if he didn't act like a complete lunatic. No need to be upset, Mr. Loaf, Baby, we can talk all night. | |
Recently while "performing" to what sounds like a voice track, Meatloaf collapsed on stage from dehydration. I contend the thud of Meatloaf hitting the stage was the most interesting sound he's ever made.
| | Before you get your panties in a knot, not only did he not get hurt, but he fell hands out first. Check out how bad the music was before he fell and how it sounded like they stopped a tape. He couldn't even fall in a cool way, at least the bloke is consistent. Time to hang it up "Meat." What do you think? Would pay for Meatloaf Tickets?
