Meat Loaf, aged 74. Not everyone's cup of tea but still love Bat Out of Hell

Great singer, great showman, Bat Out Of Hell was and is one of the greatest albums of all time.

Sad news. A real icon of my teenage years.

Incredible true story about a gig Meat Loaf did in rural Ireland in the 80s when he was down on his luck.

Another victim of conspiracy-theory brainwashing. How the fuck does a non-mandated vaccine = control? Being fed disinformation that will put your life at risk if followed, however ...

What a career that guy had

 

[Throbber3]

Another staple from the 70s. Him and John Junkin. They don’t make em like that anymore.
I did think he was older than 86 though.
