meatloaf tacos are wonderful with green sauce and new potatoes

Pete Townshend could, “A Quick One While He’s Away” comes to mind.

[al baby]

Well thank you you karen for telling us whats appropriate for a bank to play or are you Tippy ?

[real saxophonist]

Rick is good to go.

[discostu]

Yup. He wrote all that album, and most of those songs are dividable into acts once you know what to listen for. They’re all stories.

[KevinB]

I’m sure Rick Beato will have a nice tribute.

I spend way too much time on Beato's site. :-)

[discostu]

Yeah, Pete did it once. Actually Pete did it a few times. Jim did it for most of the songs he did with Meatloaf.

[dfwgator]

Me too. He even makes me appreciate songs I didn’t before.

It’s like this, Al. . . if you are in a service type industry, the first thing you avoid is offending and pi$$ing off your customers. Pretty basic and simple common sense, actually.

True, he makes me appreciate musician's talent more, crazy talent. Hey I don't see him doing much on contemporary "artists", maybe there are just too few.

And Phil Rizzuto!

NFL, NBA, MLB, United, Delta et al beg to differ. :-)

Never heard of Steinman. A friend of mine had a gray tabby cat named Meat Loaf.

But I like Perry Como. Here's one that the Woke SJW's will hate.

Dig You Later (1946)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Or Coca-Cola. Of course, they don't strike the kind of fear they once did almost 60 years ago.

[PGalt]

true imo

[RatRipper]

and not one of them is a small community bank

[PGalt]

keep yer bacon shaken but don’t let yer meat loaf

[al baby]

its like this Rat most folk could care less whats playing on the canned music anywhere they are far too busy to be bothered by such nonsense your milage may vary

[Clutch Martin]

She said, “hey baby do you like meatloaf?”

“Sure thing, honey”

She put this LP on the turntable, turned towards me and asked, “would you like some supper?”

I was confused, “I thought we were having meatloaf?”
