Meat Loaf, the larger-than-life rocker whose 1977 debut album, “Bat Out of Hell,” was one of the best-selling albums of all time, died on Thursday. He had given conflicting information about his age over the years, but was widely reported to have been 74.
His death was confirmed by his manager, Michael Greene. A statement on the musician’s Facebook page said his wife was by his side and that his friends had been with him in his final 24 hours. A cause of death was not given.
Meat Loaf, who was born Marvin Lee Aday and took his stage name from a childhood nickname, had a career that few could match. In six decades, he sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, the statement said, and appeared in several movies, including “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Fight Club.”
“We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man,” the statement said. “From his heart to your souls … don’t ever stop rocking!”

He is seeing Paradise, and not by the dashboard lights.
"2 out of 3 ain't bad". My favorite song of Meatloaf.

There aren't any Mexicans in movies or television today. Mostly blacks and white people now. Enough to make a Tarzan movie.

Wrong again cara de Diarrea, they now direct movies, Leaf Blowers are now used by ALL white hillbillys, homeless (the same as hillbillys), garbage bin jumpers like the one that resides here, hobos, tramps, derelicts, bums and vagrants and all are whites.
