Meat Loaf, the heavyweight rock superstar loved by millions for his “Bat Out of Hell” album and for such theatrical, dark-hearted anthems as “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” and “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” has died. He was 74. The singer born Marvin Lee Aday died Thursday, according to a family statement posted on his official Facebook page. “Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight,” the statement said

Meatloaf had two of the best selling albums of all time, and was the fellow with moobs in Fight Club. He was a very creative and talented gentleman. He did very well. RIP

A helden tenor who would have excelled in opera. I think we're glad he chose the path he did.

RIP Meat Loaf, whether I was in my 20's, or 50's, when Meat Loaf came on the radio we'd all sing along at the top of our lungs, and that will continue hopefully for decades.

He had an incredible voice, and his partnership with Jim Steinman produced some great music. He also seemed like a regular guy despite his fame. The Daily Mail has some recent (past several years) pictures of him, and he looked really frail. Condolences to his family.

I'm sorry to hear he passed away. His songs are still popular 40 years after they were made. I recall he once said a reporter addressed him as Mr. Loaf. He corrected the reporter - he preferred to be called Mr. Meat.

Too bad. My brother bought me 'Bat Out Of Hell' as a present and I became a fan. We are only on this Earth for a finite period of time, and we should make the most of it. Meatloaf did. RIP sir! You did good. I remember hearing how his vocal cords 'froze', and his music career was over at that point. He became a family man which suited him well. IIRC, he had multiple daughters and they would bring dates home, and Meatloaf would insist on meeting them. That had to be surreal. His hiatus from the music world probably saved his life. He was over 300 pounds while performing concerts? He would be practically passed out afterwards from all the exertion. He was fortunate that his vocal cords healed over time, and he was able to resume his music.

"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" was one of my favorite songs when it came out. RIP, Meatloaf. I am sorry to hear this. OT, though.....I will have to respectfully disagree with #26 concerning Queen. I am a huge Queen fan and Freddie Mercury was an absolute mega-star and in my opinion the greatest front man ever. He had off the charts talent and had a way of connecting with his audience in a way few other bands could.

When the amazing words and music of Jim Steinman met the powerhouse vocals and persona of Meatloaf, it was magic -- a "perfect storm" of talent coming together at the right place and right time. In 7 songs, the "Bat Out of Hell" album perfectly captured what it was like to be a red-blooded American boy living in the 1970's. And thanks to all those wonderful boys, it was so much fun being a red-blooded American girl in the 1970's!!! RIP Meatloaf -- and thanks for the memories of a great time in life!!!!!

I don't know where to start #40. I attended 35 to 40 concerts in the 70's starting with Grand Funk Railroad, and the last concert was a reunion tour with CSNY. In between was Leon Russel, Ten Years After, YES, ELP, ZZ TOP, Rolling Stones, Johnny Winter, Allman Brothers, Jeff Beck, and I know I'm leaving some huge 70's groups out because it was the 70's, and it was somewhat cloudy in the arenas during those times.

The standard of the songs from Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell album was exemplary. True classics that never age is what I call them. Ellen Foley's contribution was incomparable.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has finally acknowledged a point that COVID dissenters have been making since at least the creation of the first coronavirus vaccine: Natural immunity counts. A study published by the Biden CDC on Monday found that “persons with vaccine- and infection-derived immunity,” the latter of which is the agency’s term for natural immunity, “had much lower rates of hospitalization compared with those in unvaccinated persons” during the study period. Conducted in New York and California between May and November of 2021, the study also found that natural immunity offered even “greater” protection “after the highly transmissible Delta variant became predominant,

Who, really, is in charge at the White House? It sure doesn’t look to be President Joe Biden. The latest evidence came last week when Chief of Staff Ron Klain delivered a behind-the-scenes message to Democratic allies and staff, just hours after Biden’s disastrous news conference: The prez had failed to mention that his next Build Back Better bill would fund child and elder care, but Klain insisted it would. As Axios reported, “Klain’s private comments are yet another indication the White House has a core set of priorities it plans to fight for” . . . even if the president doesn’t know about it fully yet.

President Joe Biden continues to go with his delusional narrative that Democrats will not only keep control of Congress come the November midterms, but that they will "expand their majority." He does have a point to be hopeful about picking up more seats, as Democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate are in the single digits. But, that's just one of many reasons why the GOP is likely to take control of at least the House, and potentially the Senate as well.

This political drama finally ended on Wednesday night, when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer forced a vote on blowing up the Senate, knowing it would fail. And fail it did. Astoundingly, he wanted to put every senator on the record, including several who would have preferred to let this issue slide by, on the question of breaking the chamber's rules in order to re-write the nation's election laws – on a party-line vote, with zero Republican buy-in or input, allowing zero amendments to be introduced or debated on the Democrat-only scheme. Re-read that sentence. It's actually insane. And it was all done in the name of "democracy" and "voting rights."

A 19-year-old man who was fatally shot by Metro Police in the southeast valley Monday had no connection to a murder police were investigating when they entered an apartment to serve a search warrant, police said today at a briefing. Assistant Sheriff Andrew Walsh said Isaiah Tyree Williams, 19, was shot by officers several times as they tried to serve a search warrant related to a November 2021 homicide. Two officers were injured in the exchange. Police announced their presence by yelling “police department, search warrant” multiple times at about 5 a.m. before entering the apartment in the 3000 block of South Nellis Boulevard, Walsh said.

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Democratic-sponsored bill into law earlier in the week after it passed the Democratic-controlled state Legislature mostly along party lines. It says both plain-clothed or uniformed police need to keep at least 100 feet from polling stations or drop boxes.
