Why is it that so-called "woke liberals" who always claim to be tolerant are always the least tolerant people of all?
They are always so angry all the time, always going out of their way to take offense, and above all, they hate to see other people happy.
Now Meat Loaf (real name Marvin Lee Aday) is a pretty affable kind of guy who never meant anybody any harm. Despite his vast success in the music business (over 40 million albums sold!), he's still a regular guy who likes people. Like many of us, he's a bit oversized and has tried various methods of taking off weight, including a try at vegetarianism during the 1980s.
Not that he tried to push it on anybody else. The poor guy probably just wanted to fit into a pair of pants that didn't have an elastic "comfort-fit" waistband. Who among us never just wanted to pull a pair of 32 inch jeans off the rack at The Gap and just put them on like a regular person?
Speaking of jeans, he moved his family from tony Westport, CT to blue-collar Redding, CT because his daughter was given a hard time at school for the type of jeans that she was wearing.
By the way, Meat Loaf coached youth sports in both Connecticut towns he has lived in. Yes, Meat Loaf, rock superstar, took time to show kids how to field grounders and pull off a double play. How can you not like a guy like that?
During his vegetarian phase, Meat Loaf was sitting with Jon Bon Jovi at once of those music award shows, probably around the late 1980s to early 1990s, and spied the estrogen challenged Kathryn Dawn Lang (a/k/a k.d. lang) who looks like a young John Lennon on a good day.
Now Meat Loaf was a fan of her music, which is actually quite good, at least during the 1988-1992 period, when she was putting out albums like "Shadowland" and "Absolute Torch And Twang."
Despite the weirdness of k.d. Lang, a lifelong vegetarian who supports extremist groups like PETA, one could certainly appreciate her music and Meat Loaf, a fellow vegetarian at the time, simply wanted to meet her to show his appreciation for her works.
However, that was not to be. For when Lang was told that Meat Loaf would like to meet her, she snarled "No! His name is Meat Loaf!"
Understandably, Meat Loaf was no longer a k.d. lang fan after that. I don't blame him one bit, she seems like a perpetually angry person with a toxic and intolerant personality.
As for Meat Loaf, I don't care what his diet is, he seems like a decent guy all around.
He didn’t miss anything.
CAN’T MAKE THIS UP!
Pretty cool story. I like his music in small doses. Does seem like a nice person.
Should have pinged you.
Anyone remember that one?
She was certainly a talented singer back then. I don’t know much of anything about her today. She recorded at least one album of songs with Tony Bennett, before his voice succumbed to Alzheimers.
k.d. was most likely, surrounded by people telling her everything she said and did was ‘wonderful, marvelous’.She, like many performers at the crown of their careers probably became snippy and intolerant because she could get away with ugly behavior as long as the concert money kept flowing. Last time I saw k.d., I thought I was looking at Ted Cruz.
Yes, I remember that. I also remember when the clueless NY Times referred to him as “Mr. Loaf” in an article.
She’s from Consort, not too far from the base of Wainwright, where I did my battle school.
My buddy in the platoon was from there as well, so I went with him one weekend when he had leave. They had a sign saying home of K.D. Lang etc, but it’s long gone now, and nobody likes her.
She dissed hard on Alberta beef and that was it, bye bye career around these parts.
Saw her live in the UK at her peak. All she wanted to do was talk about being a les and flirt with the audience members. It was nauseating.
K.d. Lang is a good singer, but unfortunately, the usual politically-driven music world nutcase.
He may be nice, buy I find his music to be terrible. But I'd try listening to his album with Stonet & Metaloaf.
Holy cow, I’d forgotten all about that little barking moonbat!
:D
Now I’m praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you.

Meanwhile, Meatloaf remains a beloved legend to those of us who grew up on his music.
:)
/will he pay my ticket if I’m pulled over for speeding during “Bat Out Of Hell”?
I liked her early country-styled music, but she lost me when she became a pop chanteuse. Greg Leisz was in her first band, and he’s a multi-talent on dobro and pedal steel. He later played with jazz guitarist Bill Frissell.
He probably would.
The paradise song is downright hilarious.
When he was at the dinner in Rocky Horror Picture Show, it wasn’t a vegetarian meal, as I recall.
I always felt so sorry for Karla DeVito.
He’d nearly eat her face during that one.
:D
