These women are often driven into a frenzy and openly seek to copulate with these singers

I bet you're fun at parties.

... Dude was blessed with considerable talent. Do yourself the favor of listening to his rendition of the National Anthem at the 1994 MLB All Star Game...

Wowsers. Thanks!

That was Lorraine Crosby, and it is kind of an interesting tale.

As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.

From one of his hits:

I want you, I need you
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

It's damn near Shakespeare

She had a pretty powerful, voice (which is why I wondered whay the song woi,d have sou dedicated like with Janice. She coild really belt out the lyrics- wonder if the song woilda benefitted from a deal more power from the female singer. Maybe not, maybe it woild have been too much)

Paradise by the Dashboard Light is an epic and common story.

Meatloaf’s show under a small pavilion with about 200 people all for the price of a beer.

You win.

And of course, that classic line from Rocky Horror Picture show: “What’s for dinner?” “Meatloaf!”

🤣

That was Lorraine Crosby, and it is kind of an interesting tale.

Lorraine was credited as Ms. Loud on the Bat out of Hell II, Back Into Hell. She sang backup on several songs, but was remembered best for her duet in I'd Do Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That.

For the original Bat Out of Hell, Ellen Foley sang the vocals on the album, but didn't want to tour, so Karla DeVito stepped in for the tour. And she's the one most remember from the Bat Out of Hell album videos.

There are some documentaries and other films out there about his development of his “rock opera” style of performances that are great to watch.
