Before there was Target, before there was Wal-Mart, there was Caldor.
Old people from the Northeastern US like me know. Spent some good time int he toy aisle there.
Meat Loaf has died.
I feel some guilt as if I caused this with psychic powers. I saw a Rocky Horror / Tim Curry interview on YouTube somewhat recently and thought âHavenât heard from Meat Loaf in a long time. Hmm, I bet the next time we hear about him will be his demiseâŚâ RIP.
Every time I ever thought of Meat Loaf in the past couple decades, it was in the context of âheâs still alive?â
I love the shit out of his music and always have, but he was not a particularly good person. I read his autobiography long long ago and⌠Letâs just say he has thoughts on who killed JFK.
His name is Robert Paulson.
Louie Anderson has passed and Iâll share this interview that indicates a bit of why I liked him.

âNever meet your heroesâ indeed.
All the same, goddamn that man could belt.
Does it rhyme with the proper name for the benches in a church?
An article I did not expect to read today:
ThatâŚwas really good, and the author really nails what it is about Meat Loafâs music and lyrics that appeal to so many - at least, to me. Metal can be similar - making light of your absurdities by fully embracing them. The earnest passion with which he sang absolutely ridiculous sentiments made it all very human.
And then he was a fuck, in the ultimate irony.
I have no idea how widespread this sentiment is among butch lesbians, but it was at least a good read.
Hockey Hall of Fame member Clark Gillies.
I get the impression thatâs all he could do. The army of audio and stage people around him basically used him as an instrument. Outside of that he was a weird weird dude.
