Double date night at Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music for Tuesday Night Record Club featuring Meat Loaf
On the way down, we love doing selfies driving over the Driscoll Bridge
My good friend Lynn and I in front of the center
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.
What are your Meat Loaf memories? Let us know in the comments!

Remembering #JimSteinman through this classic track by #MeatLoaf
“There’s a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining, oh, so bright.
There’s evil in the air and there’s thunder in sky,
And a killer’s on the bloodshot streets.”#ToddRundgren #KasimSulton #RoyBittan #MaxWeinberg #EllenFoley #RoryDodd #TheShangrilas #BetteMidler #BruceSpringsteen #BonnieTyler #TheClassicRockShow #Epic #GinoPaini

#StreetsOfFire by #WalterHill. Favourite of my early teens. It immediately catches me again. First shot, the neon lights reflected on the wet street. Then going all-in with #JimSteinman's music, strong colours, the audience at the rock concert turning into an impersonal, billowing silhouette. #DianeLane, wow, Diane Lane! The threatening entrance of the incredibly evil looking #WillemDafoe and his gang. The sudden high-carnage fight and kidnapping with acts of totally gratuitous violence.

Last night I played three songs for my kids, all written by Jim Steinman. They very clearly could see the connection between the songs, but then asked me if they could hear some happy Jim Steinman songs since these were all sad songs about love.
And...I coudn't think of any offhand.
Anyway - here's the songs.
Meat Loaf - Two Out of Three Ain't Bad (1977) https://song.link/us/i/991385388
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart (1983) https://song.link/us/i/1504111288

@intimate @unit15 I should probably add that I'm not personally against mistreating musical instruments. A lot of good music requires it. What I jokingly posted was a quote from the spoken word poem "Wasted Youth" by #JimSteinman

First #JimSteinman track of the year; an old but perfect Final Fantasy AMV for "Braver Than We Are"
-
#BonnieTyler should cover Let It Go.
It's basically on its way to being a #JimSteinman song anyway.

🎵 But I'll never do it better than I do it with you
So long, so long
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love but I won't do that 🎵----
In 1993, Meat Loaf released his recording of I Would Do Anything for Love. It was an amazing track. The music video, directed by Michael Bay, was a wild Beauty and the Beast story.
Here's Walt playing "The Beast" from the video for Music Monday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X_ViIPA-Gc
