  1. Double date night at Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music for Tuesday Night Record Club featuring Meat Loaf

    Double-date night at Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, us, Lynn & Doug. Tuesday Night Record Club did Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell.”
    The first I heard of Meat Loaf was on WNEW-FM during the Phil Rizzuto part of “Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I was only 13 or 14 and couldn’t wait to hear who it was. Meat Loaf. I thought that was the name of the band and went out and got the album. Shortly afterwards, Meat Loaf was at Willowbrook Mall signing autographs.
    I got to meet the legendary Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. I was disappointed that Ellen Foley wasn’t there. I still have Meat Loaf’s autograph in a box somewhere. My uncle laminated it for me.
    (There’s a lot more to the story, but maybe another time).
    Meat Loaf temporarily pushed Queen out of first place in my record collection. They were my first concert and I had an 11 o’clock curfew at 13 or 14. This was at Montclair State College before they became a University. Seeing all the cool older kids, I felt too young and awkward and couldn’t wait to be older and buy cooler clothes and look more like a teenager instead of a kid. A fabulous cover band called Stars (not to be confused with Starz) was the warm-up band. They came out doing “Magical Mystery Tour.”
    THEN Meat Loaf! I only got to see half of the show in order to get home for curfew. I walked out of the show backwards to soak up every last bit. It was exactly how you see in the videos — Meat Loaf with his long flowing hair, and sweat pouring down his face. Gorgeous Karla DeVito in that legendary white jumpsuit. Front and center, they stood out more than any of the band members. (Three years later at 17, I’d miss my midnight curfew when I saw The Stranglers at Aldo’s getting home at 3 a.m. and getting in big trouble). To this day, I regret not blowing curfew for Meat Loaf.
    Anyway, the presentation was put on by Ken Womack, and his guest for the evening was Ray Andersen who was in Meat Loaf’s touring band.

    It was so awesome listening to tracks from that album. I forgot how epic “For Crying Out Loud” was. Another standout for me, which they didn’t play last night was “Heaven Can Wait.”

    I forgot how beautiful Meat Loaf’s voice was.

    And I forgot that “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth” was a video on MTV.

    I do remember the Meat Loaf bio pic that was shown on VH1. I have to look that up and watch it again.

    Meat Loaf was also known for being in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

  2. Darren Aronofsky – „The Whale“ (2022)

    Jetzt mal ehrlich: Dieser Film war ein Monster. Auch wenn es „nur“ drei Oscars dafür gab, hat dieses kleine Kammerspiel für mich 22/23 die Saison als größte Überraschung dominiert. Es war schlicht unglaublich, was Darren Arronofsky und Brendan Fraser aus einem Theaterstück extrahiert und gemeinsam auf die Leinwand gebracht haben. (ARD, Wh.)
