I felt I was crapping on Meat Loaf a bit for reminding someone he didn't write his songs.
You saved me by coming into the thread about his death to just be a dick.
Even if he was just an over the top bombastic entertainer (which isn't all he was) he made parts of my life better and more fun, so I salute him.
I remember my older brothers blasting this record when I was just a kid and how cool I thought the LP cover was, back when I was young enough to think the baseball part was about baseball.
I remember being at parties back in the day and no matter what music you liked, everyone could sing along to Paradise by the Dashboard Light, and did.
I remember the only time I got sick of Bat out of Hell. In 1990 when a cook I worked with only ever brought in the one cassette and on his shifts, played it over and over and over for 2 weeks until someone finally sunk it in the deep fryer.
I remember no matter what movie was on, thinking it was cool when Meat Loaf had a small role in it.
many of us can go on with little stories about him and his music.
