I have a confession to make: I am probably one of Meat Loaf’s biggest fans. I have almost all his albums, and I’ve been known to belt out his songs when I am alone in the car.
I was about 7 when the original Bat Out of Hell was released, and Paradise by the Dashboard Light

dominated the radio. As I got older, I appreciated the word play with the song titles.

When I was a teenager, my friends and I used to go to the midnight showings of the Rocky Horror Pictures Show. It was especially scandalous at the Blue Mouse in Salt Lake City, for obvious reasons. Meat Loaf played one of the main characters, Eddie, and sang my favorite song in the whole movie-Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul.

I was in my early 20’s when Meat Loaf finally released the long awaited sequel, Bat out of Hell 2, which featured his most radio friendly hit, I’d Do Anything for Love.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him in concert several times, and he always puts on amazing show. He is truly a showman, and the concerts don’t disappoint. They are always an epic length, and end with a 20 minute version of Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
He's a cheesy, over the top guilty pleasure.
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
