Meat Loaf has been dead for four days, so it's about time I wrote something about the dude.
It will take a few years for someone to write the screenplay, and someone to raise the money to make the biopic about Marvin Lee Aday. Wonder who will play the leading role? No doubt Tom Hanks will do it. He'll gain 150 pounds and shave 35 years off his face. He'll have a vocal chord transplant. He'll win another Oscar.
If there is anyone left on Planet Earth who hasn't seen Meat Loaf's music video "Paradise By the Dashboard Light," or maybe it's been some time since you watched it, here is a link to YouTube:

Now and then an artist will capture my imagination because they did something unique and did it well. Meat Loaf was one of those.
People get old and die. Mostly that doesn't bother me, but now and then...
I am one on the planet who hasn't seen that video. Does that mean you won't feel bad when I die?
