Very Talented and though I never saw him, he supposedly put on a heck of a show. I guess he went into eternity without doing “that”.

Hot take: He wasn't very good

He's legitimately one of the best singers in rock history. And I'd have said that even if he hadn't gone on to his great reward this morning.

its against the law to touch the dial when

Paradise by the dashboard light comes on the radio.

Meat Loaf ******* ruled. He was great. I even liked him when he was on the Apprentice.

Back when I was in the USMC reserves I had to fly into LAX before heading out to 29 palms. I'm flying coach and this dude in all black sits next to me. I think nothing of it, 3 hour flight, not a word. Waiting on luggage and everyone is asking if he was cool. I'm like, huh...it was Meat Loaf.

We have lost some folks recently- Betty White, Bob Saget, Ron Franklin, Louie Anderson, and now Meat Loaf.
Thought these things use to just run in 3’s ?!?

I have a theory that (because of the age of television) we're in a time period where the number of "famous people" dying each day is at an all time high.

Obviously the older crowd loves his overly dramatic operetta type thing. Just not my thing at all.

Maybe you didn't catch the Suttleties...

Meat Loaf, an absolute powerhouse of a performer, has died at the age of 74. Bat Out Of Hell is a high water mark of the rock & roll era, a totem of all of its excess that’s simultaneously a spoof. https://t.co/hyhBSZDlbU— Stephen Thomas Erlewine (@sterlewine) January 21, 2022

Sidney Poitier died the other day, too. I had the same thought this morning about it used to just be 3s. But I think Dawginthe256 is probably on to something because a lot of people who were famous in the 60s, 70s and 80s, who we're all likely to know, are starting to get up there in years.

Not just an age thing. I'm 65 right in my wheel house and can't say I was big into his thing either. Probably a bunch of artist I like others would say the same. Kinda how music works.
