Tribute

In college, I was a pretty big fan of Meat Loaf. So I was vaguely sad when I learned that he had died. Then I read a bunch of Twitter, and I was pretty sad that it turned out he was a Trump supporter. But, still, I had enjoyed his music.

So with a little help from Ken, Friday night I dusted off the record player, which we haven't used in some years and required some fussing with the speaker and amp wiring, found Bat Out Of Hell, and played it as a tribute. I'm sure that I was not the only aging hippie doing that very thing at that very time. Turns out I can still sing all the words to Paradise by the Dashboard Lights and Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, and most of You Took the Words Right Out Of My Mouth (including the spoken intro to that song, but not the sportscast in Paradise). Kind of vague on the rest of the songs on the album.

I explained to my housemate that if Elton John dies, Yellow Brick Road is a double album and they will have to listen to all of it :-)
