RIP Meatloaf 1/21/22

[Greg]

Well that's sad. On the one hand, it's amazing he lasted this long because of the multiple health scares in his life. But 74 seems too young. I think Scapino and I wore out his cassette of Bat out of Hell driving back and forth to Santa Cruz.

This song has been gnawing at my brain like the voracious earworm that it is: 


Never saw Meat Loaf live. That would've been interesting. I had the vinyl of Bat Out of Hell. Might still be stored at my mom's. Didn't we all?

Here's a D00M memory. Meat Loaf always brings me back to the Bruceploitation flick Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave. 

Here's why:


I have a memory of going to see this with ED at MQ6 long before either of us were employed there. It's painfully bad, yet lol bad too. I remember the whole audience laughing at some of the ridiculousness.  It was one of our nascent D00M commentary flicks that MST3K ripped off from us. It may have been my first brucespoitation flick seen in a theater.

His name was Robert Paulsen...

Also great in the Spice Girls movie. He's got a long list of credits on IMDB. He was on Glee but I don't remember that. How about DM?

That was the Rocky Horror ep. Brad was in it too. Great Easter egg.

The Spice Girls movie is vastly underrated. Luved that film.

Fight Club.

Howard Stern Says The Unvaxxed Meatloaf ‘Got Sucked Into Some Weird F*cking Cult’ Before His Death

Following news of [url=https://uproxx.com/indie/meat-loaf-dead-74/]Meat Loaf‘s death last week, it didn’t take long for the legendary singer‘s views on the COVID vaccine and masking to come to light. Long story short, he was not a fan of either, which led to his death after reportedly falling ill from the virus. As the pandemic continues to ravage the country, Howard Stern has been a blunt and vocal critic of anti-vaxxers, and he definitely did not make an exception when it came to the “Bat Out Of Hell” singer’s death.
“Poor Meat Loaf got sucked into some weird f*cking cult,” Stern said on the latest episode of his radio show. After highlighting Meat Loaf’s public comments about refusing to get vaccinated, Stern turned his attention to the singer’s family, who the shock jock feels should be pushing the vaccine after seeing the singer on his death bed. Via Mediaite:

“I wish the family would come forward and say, ‘Ya know, when Meat Loaf was laying there in the hospital and he couldn’t breathe, he said, ‘I made a mistake. I should have taken the vaccine.’ Like all these anti-vaxxers, they all say, ‘I made a mistake.’”

It was another example of Stern refusing to pull his punches when it comes to anti-vaxxers, particularly famous ones like Aaron Rodgers, Joe Rogan, and the now-late Meat Loaf. Earlier this month, Stern even went so far to say that “if it was up to me, anyone unvaccinated would not be admitted to a hospital.”
“In my America, all hospitals would be closed to you,” Stern said last week. “You’re going to go home and die.”
