Slumlord: You are mostly off base here!
I had a body guard assignment years ago where our crew was hired to provide security for Mr. Meatloaf for two days while he was doing a "stint" out on the west coast.
Anyway unbeknowst to us he was a non-drinker, non-drugger, non-womanizer type guy!
He was courteous to our crew, and not condescending at all to us - which is rather rare amongst "hollywood types"!
That aside he did play the part of "rock-star" but now I think he did so to accumulate his vast fortune - and I can not fault him for that.
He sold MILLIONS of albums and appeared in 65 movies one of his albums (Bat Out Of Hell) is to this day one of the top ten selling albums OF ALL TIME!
This album (from 1977!) to this day, currently sells over 200,000 (two hundred thousand!) albums every year.
To say he was a MAJOR success would be an understatement!
Try to deride him if you wish, but in this instance I contend YOU are flat out wrong.
Plus he was a REPUBLICAN!
Rest in peace Meatloaf (Michael Lee Aday).
Hold into the wind
