"Bat Out Of Hell" Most cheerful song about a motorcycle accident,

[Aristus]

and zombies taking over a town.

And a killer stalking the town.

And the town burning down.

No lie. Listen to the song.

1. I thought it

was about Bush trying to ride a mountain bike.

[Aristus]

2. Nah. Among its many other themes are love and the freedom

of the open road. You know, real icky left-wing stuff like that. :-)

3. My Meatloaf Story:

I've worked with him three times.

The first time was in 1995, and he was busy doodling someting on a cocktail napkin. I asked him what it was, and she showed me this elaborate ballpoint-pen drawing of the motorcycle guy rescuing some busty chick in a torn t-shirt from a firebreathing dragon/bat thing.

"It's the artwork for my comeback album", he said proudly.

"Cool", I replied, will it be done by the same artist as "Bat Out Of Hell?"

"No", he replied, somewhat offended, "this IS the finished product. There's no need to change anything....it's perfect!"

[Aristus]

4. Aw shoot. I hope Meat isn't some egotistical jerk.

He seems so down to earth in his interviews. And he's one HELL of an entertainer! I saw his show at the Gorge back in 1994. Un-frickin'-believable!

[CanuckAmok]

5. No, he's pretty nice...but he's a Republican.

beware.

[Jokerman]

6. Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole...

and every things stunted and lost.
Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls,
and nothings ever worth the cost.

Describes the town I grew up in very well.
