R.I.P. Marvin Lee Aday A/K/A Meatloaf
He was also good in "Fight Club."
I rarely feel grief when a celebrity dies, but today I feel a great sense of loss. I saw him in concert at least 15 times, and his music has been part of my life since I was 10 years old. Also, let's not forget Jim Steinman who passed last year. Without him there would be no Meat Loaf... similar to Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
I've been reading all the condolences and memories that have been posted by people who knew Marvin Lee Aday, some who knew him personally and others who just loved his work. The one that struck me most was by George Takei:
We wanted you, we needed you--and we loved you. Three out of three after all, Meatloaf. You will be missed.
Meat Loaf was a vegetarian from 1981 to 1992.[122] Discussing the confusion caused by his contrasting stage name and dietary habits, he once told Entertainment Weekly, "There've been vegetarians who wouldn't speak to me because of my name. I was sitting with Jon Bon Jovi at one of those awards things, and I say, 'Oh, man, I love k.d. lang. I'd really like to meet her.' They went to find out if it was okay, and she goes, 'No. His name is Meat Loaf.' I stopped being a k.d. lang fan after that."[123] He declared in 2019 that he would try veganism for Veganuary in 2020, and would be partnering with UK restaurant chain Frankie & Benny's to promote its vegan options.[124]
Wonder who's next always heard they come in 3s
