M'Kyuun Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Michael Lee Aday, AKA Meatloaf, was an unlikely rock musician given his beefy physique in a time when most rockers were whip thin. His partnership with uber-talented musician and lyricist Jim Steinman, who passed in April of 2021, was one of those rare bits of serendipity that left an indelible mark on rock music. I was introduced to Meatloaf's music as a kid in the 80s, and I've been a fan for a good chunk of my 50 years. Although he's known for his bombastic vocals, more than a musician, Meatloaf was a performer. He acted in films and on stage, having even done Shakespeare. A great deal of that acting informed his musical performances as well; the guy was really in his element on stage. In interviews, he was candid and down-to-earth, just a cool guy with a lot of life experience, not all of it good, that he shared nonetheless. It's a sad day for the passing of one of Rock's more unique talents, and the world is poorer for his loss. RIP Meatloaf.

I cannot consider someone dying because of him/her exercising their freedom of choice/right to bodily autonomy to be sad I wouldn't consider it a smart thing, but who am I to judge?

If I didn't and I died in a crash because of it, that's my fault, and again, something preventable. The same reason why I'm vacced. I don't want to catch it, and I don't want to spread it, and certainly not to my elderly mother and father. Meatloaf's death is even sadder now because of his choice.

I ran out of empathy for that sort of person sometime last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
