I really thought he died some time ago. Glad he didn’t.

Most of us can’t do at 68 what we used to do at 28.

Especially given the very serious vocal chord issues he's had in the past.

It was at his Edmonton show.

Dear newspaper editor,

Texas is big, yes, but Canada has 3 provinces that are bigger, and 3 provinces that are close to the same size as Texas. It would be nice if the city where the news occurred was mentioned. Just saying Canada is like saying “at sea”.

The meatloaf is a little overdone.

I would bet that a good 70% of the audience thought Meat Loaf’s “collapse” was a staged part of his act for the first few minutes. I hope he got the help he needed. Apparently, a concert hall filling demand for Meat Loaf performances is still a thing.

Canada - Some place north of Buffalo where they say “eh?” every third word, or speak French, and watch hockey every day as they’re washing down donuts and poutine with beer.

From what I’ve read about him, he’s a talented guy and a hard worker. At 68, maybe he needs to take it easy. He can’t keep performing like a bat outta hell.

Or he’ll be gone with the morning light.

He’s a native Texan performing in Canada? Kind of an inverse Ted Cruz, eh?

He’s done a lot of acting in the past couple of decades too. He keeps popping-up in movies where you might not necessarily recognize him.
