Meat Loaf RIP

Michael Lee Aday was born Marvin Lee Aday September 27, 1947 and was one of my earliest declarations of fandom.

Meat Loaf, as he was known sold the Bat out of Hell franchise of albums among others and I was always up to a few sets of his theatrical rock extravaganza over the years.

His career was not so steady as his popularity with me personally. He did the European circuit and gained popularity with the brits as well.

He appeared in film, television, and stage sometimes as cameo sometimes as main character sometimes as a musical attraction therein.

My interest in him was his strong vocal presence and there were riffs of his I carried with me for a great while in my life.

Meat Loaf passed this earthly existence on January 20, 2022 at the age of 74 in the presence of his wife, Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda, and close friends.

Rest in peace.
