    I’ll reply by asking why is it sad? The guy was 94, it’s a fate that awaits us all.

    Some inevitable celebrity deaths will hit me harder than some family personally. There’s any number of music, sports and movie stars getting longer in the tooth and it’ll be very sad when they pass.

    Ah Meatloaf. The artist that most people are embarrassed to admit they are a fan of.

    I dig him.

    Him & Steinman are unequivocally one of, if not, the best big rock song writers of all time. You'll struggle to find anyone on the planet that hasn't wondered if they would do that.

    A mate of mine knew someone who met Meatloaf at a celebrity golf tournament. Everyone was lined up to meet him and this bloke was so starstruck he blurted out ‘pleased to meet you Mr Loaf’

    Not sure how he reacted to that, I must message and ask.

    Whether you liked it or not Meatloaf was the staple soundtrack of every single Paraparaumu party I attended in the 90s. I’m sure he’ll be blaring up there now for weeks on end.

    Not embarrassed, he was too much fun.

    Am sad now. 😞

    Always thought this was 'When Rock and Roll Dreams Come True'. Learn something every day. Should be a thread for it.

    My sister and I are both fans, especially of his work with Steinman which produced some all time classic rock songs.

    And if you want some more trivia, Scott Ian from Anthrax is Meat Loaf's son-in-law.
