Meat Loaf. Covid.
Apparently his pet hate was being called Meatloaf, one word.
But everyone did it.

Bit of a character.
Got hit on the head by a shotput and could suddenly sing in 3 1/2 octaves.
He beat JFK's limo to the hospital after he got shot.
A few other tall stories.

Seems another case of 'problem solves itself' "During an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published in August 2021, he also labeled face masks a “nuisance.” “You’re not afraid (of Covid)?” a reporter asked him at the time, to which he replied, “Oh, I’m scared to death! You kidding me? But I’m sorry, I understood stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they’re stopping because of politics. And on CNN last night, it finally came out that the masks we’re all wearing are useless. But I’ve known that for six months. They don’t do anything. They don’t stop you from getting Covid.” Later, when the interview said, “We’re being controlled by everybody,” Meat Loaf replied, “Yeah, I know. But not me. If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled.”" www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/meat-loaf-seriously-ill-died-165553459.html |

On the positive side "Meat Loaf fans have been recalling how the rocker once said he tried to push Prince Andrew into a moat. The incident took place during the It's A Royal Knockout charity event in 1987, but stories about it have resurfaced on social media following the star’s death at the age of 74. ... He said: "Fergie wasn't exactly flirting with me, but she was paying attention to me, and I think Andrew got a little - I could be wrong, I'm just reading into this - I think he got a little jealous... "Anyway, he tried to push me in the water. He tried to push me in the moat. So I turned around and I grabbed him and he goes, 'You can't touch me. I'm royal.' I said, 'Well you try to push me in the moat, Jack, I don't give a s*** who you are, you're goin' in the moat'."" www.yahoo.com/news/meat-loaf-prince-andrew-moat-113348160.html |

It's a classic piece of work. I think it was full of names like Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese. I'll try to find it again later. |

I should change the title Anti vaxer dies of Covid. I'm told such 'brandishing' wouldn't be fair. I mean before you know it people start to associate 'anti-vax' with 'freedom of choice' and 'don't tell us what to do', 'obviously you are a commie', etc., etc.  |

I was never a real fan at the time, but playing his music again now I'm realising what I missed.
I stumbled across Neil Diamond Hot August Night on YouTube yesterday. Wasn't a fan at the time, but playing it again now.... Holy smokes, that's real music.

I was watching Queen at Live Aid the other day, I always knew they were very good but that performance was just brilliant. |

Wasn't a fan at the time, but playing it again now.... Holy smokes, that's real music. I went for a drink in the 1980s with a long time friend. There was a disco on, and there was a The Sweet record on. We hated The Sweet at school. My friend was tapping is foot, and I pointed out the obvious. He said I know, but the stuff today makes them sound great. I did have the Bat out of he'll album, and I still think it's a good one. But I wasn't a huge fan. |

Yesterday our national Rock radio station announced the top 100 songs (I presume from last year). Number One was The Wiggles. Kayne West with "Jesus loves me" was in there somewhere. I think music is history. |
