That information was bound to get out sooner or later. It's
okay. We have Narns working security.

Yeah, Meatloaf definitely "listens better than he watches,"
though in truth he's lost a LOT of weight lately, and looks 100% better
than in past years. Most of his songs (even though written often with
or by others) tell stories, they have a lot of heart to them, they're
sometimes very funny, and there's a tremendous, enviable energy in
them. You get the sense that he undrstands the only way to tell a
story sometimes is to put the pedal to the floor and go flat out for
the abyss, hoping to come out alive on the other side. I commend to
you his two latest albums, Bat Out of Hell II and Welcome to the
Neighborhood. There's some really nifty stuff there.
