♪ ♫ All Reved Up With No Place to Go! ♫♪

To paraphrase Queen, "Another one bites the dust." But at age 74, even though he might have had a few more years in him, you can't say he was cut short in his prime.

TBH, I didn't follow his music much. When he was most popular, I was severely distracted by family issues and a new job (long before the Navy job). But he could, indeed, belt out those notes when needed.
 
It was the raw POWER that intrigued me, like a male version of Tina Turner. His lyrics were pretty awesome too...when he played Hot Potootie and Bless My Soul in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it made that crazy movie all the much better!
 
At least part of the problem may have been that I was not a fan of RHPS. My sense of the absurd exists (e.g. Mel Brooks movies), but sometimes the chaos is more than I care to endure.
 
When I first heard "Paridise by the dashboard light", I was in college and took to heart the decisions someone makes in the heat of the moment.

Another great one! "...waiting for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!"
 
It is now coming out that Meat Loaf may have become infected with COVID and died due to respiratory distress - which in a person of his age can be quite overwhelming. It has not been discussed, but you have to now wonder if he was an anti-vaxxer. His choice, of course, but it still makes me wonder.
 
The late rocker Meat Loaf was outspokenly anti-vaccine mandate and anti-mask before his death — once telling a reporter, “If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled,” according to reports.

I don't feel controlled by taking actions to increase my personal safety such as wearing a mask and wearing a seat belt.
 
I know this is a tribute to the late great Meatloaf and I am sorry about this but he had good reason to mistrust science / governments.
