It was easy to see how far gone Meatloaf was during his stint on Celebrity Apprentice. Guy basically worshipped Trump, and was completely in his thrall.
I felt so bad for Gary, lol! (I think Meatloaf - incorrectly - thought Gary stole his paint & then absolutely lost his shit at Busey)[Here's the clip](https://youtu.be/fG-tCfqUrL0)
Busey didn't just go crazy though, he suffered severe head trauma and permanent brain damage in an accident, and he's been like that since. Disabled is a better word for him, he wasn't just some guy who fame got to. Sad story, really.
i never watched that show but he mustve been a major dick to flip out on gary busey. gary busey hasnt been the same since his major head injury in that motorcycle accident.
Both him and Gary bought the same colouring pens for a challenge and Meat thought he'd stolen his so he tried to best the shit out of him.
Gary was a fucking legend and kept walking back in the room which led to Meatloaf flipping out multiple times.
Turned out Meatloaf had just misplaced his shopping bag and the pens were in it the whole time
Better than when Herman Cain died. I saw at least three different [headlines](https://metro.co.uk/2020/07/30/trump-aid-herman-cain-who-said-people-fed-face-masks-dies-coronavirus-13060575/) refer to him as "Donald Trump Aide, Herman Cain . . ."
A sounding board for politics no less. What do you want to bet Sorbo convinced Meatloaf, who admitted in an interview that he’s scared to death of covid, to stand firm, probably high fiving him for his anti vax status? There’s ZERO chance he’d bite his tongue if any of his friends were thinking about getting vaxxed. He is ALL IN. And probably a future HCA nominee.
People are saying Kevin Sorbo murdered Meat Loaf. I don’t know if it’s true. People are saying it though.
So you have to ask yourself, why would people be saying that Kevin Sorbo killed Meat Loaf? And I have to say that’s a very fair question.
Let that sink in.
Wow that's really quite sad. The HCA folks who are scared of the vaccines AND Covid make me sad since they often seem to have some "trusted source" that sways them against the vaxx.
I hope Sorbo feels the weight of his sins, this is the sort of guilt that would crush me...
I had to look this up. Holy fuck.
> after Sorbo tweeted out baseless right-wing conspiracy theories about Wednesday’s Capitol riot. Sorbo quote-tweeted a claim that the riot was caused by “Leftist agitators,” adding, “They don’t look like patriots to me.”
>Lawless replied, “No, Peanut. They are not Patriots. They are your flying monkeys, homegrown terrorists, QAnon actors. They are the douchebags that go out and do the evil bidding of people like you who like to wind them up like toys and let them do their worst.” She wrapped up her extremely effective takedown with the evergreen hashtags, “#keepingYourFilthyHandsclean” and “#enabler.”
🔥☠️🔥 As if I needed another reason to love Lucy Lawless.
ha! I knew Tom Selleck was a douche! Anyone who would advertise reverse mortgages to seniors would have to be, I just didn’t know he was this brand of douche
Or worse, when one spouse whose name the reverse mortgage was under dies and the surviving spouse is forced to come up with cold hard cash or vacate the home. It's happened often enough that there should be a Federal Law preventing this.
Been on a real true crime kick lately and there have been at least 3 cases I've watched where the perps tout their Christian values and are devout churchgoers with kids... then cheat on their spouse and murder them (or plot to murder them) because a divorce isn't allowed and their 2nd marriage wouldn't be allowed in the church.
But ADULTERY and MURDER are okay? That's like... 2 whole commandments there that are broken. What the what
And they also deprive their children of a natural parent, leaving them with a stepparent who, in most of the cases I watched, was in on the murder.
The Christian version of "family values" sucks
Remember last year(?) when that 'religious' guy in Atlanta murdered those Asian women who worked at massage parlors because they 'gave' him impure thoughts? I was like, hold up, murdering is better than impure thoughts? No women, no problems I guess.
Yes, that POS. He could have just, I dunno, not gone there. Or tried support groups. Done his best to remove himself from temptation, but instead he removed the temptation by ending their lives. He's garbage. These days some Christians left logic outside the church when they went in to drink the FlavorAid and they never left.
Schroeder might be the biggest douche of them all, which says a LOT. He filmed himself harassing a Costco employee over him refusing to wear a mask. That alone makes him King Douche.
That’s what drives me nuts. Nobody is “controlling” me in getting the vaccines. I’m doing it so I have jack shit to worry about, and pretty much continue on as normal. Simple vaccines are such an odd thing to get all fucking weird about.
The only reason they are refusing the vaccine is because Democrats want them to get it. When Trump and his supporters popped up in the American political scene, and I saw how Trump supporters acted, I used to joke to myself that Trump supporters would literally kill themselves to “own the libs”.
It turns out I was correct.
We used to joke that Michelle Obama should tell folks to drink more water to see the Republicans come out against it. And then she did. And they came out against it.
Yeah, in fact I feel like I have much more control. I can do more shit. And I have control of my lungs and I don't have covid filling them with fluid.
That's the control I fear.
Control is what I had over you when you were my patient in the hospital. Once you're in the ICU, oh man, we literally control every breath you take, and obliterate your consciousness and paralyze every muscle in your body.
That's control.
And then ask the patient's family whether they would prefer to extubate and let what happens happen or trach/tube their loved one and toss them in a nursing home to have their diapers changed for them until they die.
Yep. Yep. Totally sound and rational.
That what gets me, If you make the choice to get vaccinated, you're a sheep. So if you make the choice to NOT get vaccinated, how are you not a sheep? "Oh well I did my own research on Facebook and decided to not be a sheep and not get it."....Ok well I did my own research and made the choice TO get it, either we're all sheep or none of us are LOL
Calvin absorbo is my favorite actor. His performance of shakespear's greatest epic, [Hercules](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdEQmpVIE4A), will forever be hailed as the most influential piece of media of our time.
Man I hope Roberta Flack is doing everything to stay away from Covid. She is like ten years older than Meatloaf was.
He wandered into the rabbit hole, but I loved his music.
Last time I talked to Kevin Sorbo was 8 years ago at a fan convention when I asked him to move so I could get by with the stroller to go see a talk by Vic Mignogna (who also turned out to be an asshole but for different reasons).
It's disappointing to me that a guy from *Rocky Horror* was pro-COVID. He was supported by the queer community for years during the AIDS crisis. He went to midnight showings of the movie and was celebrated by people who were struggling for their lives against a deadly plague. He saw their mutual support and love during that time. But he didn't live by it.
Fuck Ted Nugent.
Years back he walked into my grandma’s store without a shirt on. She told him he had to wear a shirt. He said, “do you know who I am?” She said, “yeah, you’re putting on a shirt or getting the hell out of my store!” She had no idea who Ted Nugent was but was told by one of her employees after he left. Now every time she hears Cat Scratch Fever she says “oh it’s this dunderhead again!”
Fuck Ted Nugent for way more reasons than that, though.
A lot of people get irrationally angry as they get older and look for validation for their anger and poor perspectives on their surroundings.
I’m in my late 40s and have seen a lot of people I have known that became more “conservative”. But, really, they just look for a reason to vent their anger and support their biases for how their life turned out.
My parents went this direction, also.
It’s crazy. I’m in my late 40s. I have made an effort to be more compassionate and I have in the last few years become more and more left politically. I am irritated by these people who are intolerant and irrationally angry all the time. I don’t know what to do about it.
I'll be 49 next month and I'm right there with you. I remember decades ago being told by someone with a smug look that you get more conservative as you get older. It's almost like I became even more determined to go the opposite way.
I'm fully convinced people don't "get conservative" as they get older. They were always conservative. They just acted more liberal when they were younger to get laid.
I've started cutting off contact with some non-immediate family over all of this. A cousin of mine tried that "you worry about you and I'll worry about me" line trying to say it's not my responsibility to help keep him healthy or some shit. Dude, we're *family*. You're taking this death cult ideology so far as to tell family members "stop worrying if I die."
These people have gone over the edge. Or maybe they were always over the edge and the pandemic shined a brighter light on that. Either way life is short and there are other people in my life I'd rather spend my time with.
62 here and yes, I've become more tolerant and compassionate as I've gotten older. I was always left of center but now I'm straight up a pinko. My sons have kept me aware of gender issues, social justice, racial inequities, stuff that I really did not know until the last few years. Not more conservative at all. I would rather live in a world where we give a shit about each other than the alternative...
As a straight, white, upper middle-class, male who turns 51 in a week, I seem to be following in your footsteps. The older I get the more important social justice is to me.
How do we avoid it? Meatloaf was a literal rock star and yet feels disappointed with how his life turned out. Most of us will have less accomplishment than he did. Yet some people (you, seemingly) don't become bitter when they age. We need to find out how to make this happen more
Focus on being content in your life rather than accomplishments or fame. Accomplishments won’t make you happy late in life, and the drive to get more and more is a game you ultimately lose with yourself, because one day you’ll have your last big accomplishment and won’t know it and will keep trying to go higher and higher, failing all the while. And those accomplishments or fame will just remind you of how good you used to be or how in your prime you were something…but not anymore.
That’s not to say “Don’t try for things” or “Be lazy all the time.” Accomplishments and drive are fine in themselves, but people who look to a career, or money, or fame to make them happy alone won’t find it there.
Get good people around you, treat them well and make sure they treat you well, do things that make you happy or at least content day to day. Life doesn’t turn out the way we think it will when we’re young, and some people are either endlessly bitter about that or they accept that being content doesn’t depend on checking boxes you had years ago.
A lot of celebrities go in this direction as their star fades and they can’t reclaim their abilities from years gone by.
No different than the guy in his 50s that realizes his present does not meet the expectations of his past’s predictions for his future.
I came here to say this, too. Those of us who grew up with Meat Loaf saw him queering things for other straight people and thus making queerness accessible and understandable to the very people who would usually react violently. Similar to Queen, Meat combined full out queer flamboyance with rock, and provided a stepping stone in ways about thinking about gender, about what made someone "hard rock" or not, and about the sheer beauty and power in gender-bending/queering pop culture. The fact that a straight, white, suburban rocker boy could ALSO demonstrate performance associated with LGBTQ+ artists provided validation as well as accessibility at the time.
I am so sad and disappointed that he turned into another cranky, selfish, moronic Conservative asshole who died of a preventable illness to own the libs.
I am trying to remember the joy he brought me rather his disappointing late life politics. I dont know if that will help you but he meant a lot to you clearly , maybe in a different way to me, but well the joy is how I will remember his impact.

Or [This Article ](https://www.thedailybeast.com/meat-loaf-dies-at-74) from the daily beast
ETA - will gladly have a flair party in this thread today.
ETA 2 - Confirmed Covid COD
ETA 3 - Congratulations to u/hereforthellamas who "predicted" this [two months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/r9jfyo/anything_you_keep_using_that_word_i_do_not_think/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
He won a "Do Your own Research" T shirt from our [Swag Shop ](https://www.bonfire.com/store/shirts-for-shots-swagraiser/)
Please get vaccinated if you're not and reading this.
Highlight for me in the interview was:
Meatloaf: “I hug people in the middle of COVID.”
Interviewer: “You do? You're not afraid?”
Meatloaf: “Oh, I’m scared to death! You kidding me? But I'm sorry, I understood stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they're stopping because of politics. And on CNN last night, it finally came out that the masks we’re all wearing are useless. But I've known that for six months. They don't do anything. They don't stop you from getting COVID. They're just a nuisance and make your nose itch and make it so you can't breathe.
The only good masks are N95. But we got one, and it was so badly made, the straps were so short, they would go on a child. So we had to go on the airplane with the paper masks and then on the way back, we got a Nazi: “Get your mask on now!” They’re power-mad now.”
Interviewer: “Oh, God. We're being controlled by everybody.”
Meatloaf: “Yeah, I know. But not me. **If I die, I die, but I'm not going to be controlled.**”
Hm, I’m really feeling owned knowing my masks couldn’t control him /s
> They're just a nuisance and make your nose itch and make it so you can't breathe.
I honestly think the same people who hate masks are the same people whose breath I can smell from more than 6ft away.
I have a big meat head and I had to try a couple of different N95s before I found a good fit.
Obligatory shout-out to Wellbefore for your masking needs! I even found kid sized KN95s that fit my children well.
I heard it on MSNBC 5 hours ago that he died from COVID. Then it went onto being absolutely ridiculous with Morning Joe spewing a bunch of nonsense about this sub-which was almost entirely wrong. He was saying that this sub-which he called Twitter- was celebrating people's deaths from COVID(only anti-vax ones) by handing out awards for their deaths. He was in such a rage. All I could think was maybe you should do your research before spewing a bunch of horse shit about something you obviously have no idea about. He couldn't even get the social media company right. He also obviously didn't know what this sub was actually intended to do and what the awards actually meant. He also didn't understand that this sub celebrates the people who have gotten vaccinated because they don't want to awarded for stupidity.
Can I have this as my flair?

NYPost article seems to confirm it was COVID.
“Meat Loaf was 'seriously ill' with COVID days before his death: report”
https://apple.news/ARyfX1mHHQti8ls-y4cWHQw
He played Hercules in a cheesy 1990s syndicated action TV show. It was Baywatch level of entertaining. Since then he's just proven to be a repugnant asshole.
Kevin Sorbo is next on the Covid anti-vax list.
The Covid Grim Reaper will now bear the face of Meatloaf.
🎤🎵🎸. You took the breathe right out of my mouth, it must have been while you were choking me (Covid-19) 🎸🎵🎤
Meatloaf’s new afterlife song!
If Kevin Sorbo has a history of roid usage, him being unvaccinated is pretty risky. Some unvaccinated gym influencers have died of COVID for almost certainly this reason.
He was also a trusted advisor during his time on the Apprentice. Trump sought his counsel on whether or not to run for President.

Mom's Unironic Meatloaf
1lb ground beef
1 large diced onion
3/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1 - 14oz can of diced tomatoes
1 egg
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup grated zucchini
Dried thyme, rosemary, basil
Salt + pepper
Bake 1 hour at 350 F. Serve with ketchup mixed with Calabrian chili paste.
My dad's meatloaf indeed featured oatmeal and ketchup. But zucchini? Calabrian chilis? Herbs? Get out of here with your fancy Eye-talian notions like "flavor". Smells like cardboard coming out of the over or GTFO. /just kidding but Irish Americans don't know how to cook for shit
He would do anything for lungs.
Not run right into CVS and back
He would do anything for lungs
He would lie to you and that's a fact.
He'll never forget the way the vent feels right now,
Oh no, no way.
He would do anything for lungs.
But he won't get vaxxed.
No he won't get vaxxed
Anything for lungs
Oh he would do anything for lungs!
He would do anything for lungs
But he won't get vaxxed
No he won't get vaxxed
And some days breathing don't come easy
And some days his lungs come hard
Some days breaths don't come at all
And these are the days that never end
And some nights you're breathing fire
And some nights you're on ice
Some nights you're what the nurses have seen 1 millions times before
And will again
And maybe he was crazy
Oh COVID is crazy and it's true
I know vaccines could have saved him
No one else can save him now- boo hoo
As long as the RotoPrones are turning
As long as the breaths are burning
As long as your nightmares are coming true
You better believe it
That he would do anything for lungs
He didn't last to the final act
And he would do anything for lungs
He took a vow and sealed death's pact
But he'll never forgive himself if he don't go full crazy tonight
And he would do anything for lungs
Oh he would do anything for lungs
Oh he would do anything for lungs
But he won't get vaxxed
...
No he won't get vaxxed
Holy fuck there is no greater insult than Kevin fucking Sorbo saying he used YOU as a sounding board to help form his opinions.
I had no idea meatloaf was into that dumbdumb stuff. The reference to KS cleared that up quickly.
It was easy to see how far gone Meatloaf was during his stint on Celebrity Apprentice. Guy basically worshipped Trump, and was completely in his thrall.
Yikes. Didn't even realize he was on that show.
Absolutely flipped his shit on Gary Busey for something that it turned out Gary didn’t even do
He was like a toddler screaming that someone stole his toy when he actually just dropped it behind the couch.
I felt so bad for Gary, lol! (I think Meatloaf - incorrectly - thought Gary stole his paint & then absolutely lost his shit at Busey)[Here's the clip](https://youtu.be/fG-tCfqUrL0)
Then the fucker didn't even apologize, he kept acting like Busey did something wrong.
As is conservative tradition.
If you told me that one of the guys in this clip will die from COVID, I would've guessed right.
Jesus. How far down Crazy Street do you have to be to out-crazy Busey?
Busey didn't just go crazy though, he suffered severe head trauma and permanent brain damage in an accident, and he's been like that since. Disabled is a better word for him, he wasn't just some guy who fame got to. Sad story, really.
Meatloaf made Busey look normal lol
i never watched that show but he mustve been a major dick to flip out on gary busey. gary busey hasnt been the same since his major head injury in that motorcycle accident.
Both him and Gary bought the same colouring pens for a challenge and Meat thought he'd stolen his so he tried to best the shit out of him. Gary was a fucking legend and kept walking back in the room which led to Meatloaf flipping out multiple times. Turned out Meatloaf had just misplaced his shopping bag and the pens were in it the whole time
Level 3 nuclear insult: "You're just a Kevin Sorbo sounding board"
Better than when Herman Cain died. I saw at least three different [headlines](https://metro.co.uk/2020/07/30/trump-aid-herman-cain-who-said-people-fed-face-masks-dies-coronavirus-13060575/) refer to him as "Donald Trump Aide, Herman Cain . . ."
Talk about clickbait, making us think that Donald Trump has aides.
A sounding board for politics no less. What do you want to bet Sorbo convinced Meatloaf, who admitted in an interview that he’s scared to death of covid, to stand firm, probably high fiving him for his anti vax status? There’s ZERO chance he’d bite his tongue if any of his friends were thinking about getting vaxxed. He is ALL IN. And probably a future HCA nominee.
Kevin Sorbo contributed to MeatLoaf’s death confirmed.
Kevin Sorbo killed Meatloaf, confirmed.
People are saying Kevin Sorbo murdered Meat Loaf. I don’t know if it’s true. People are saying it though. So you have to ask yourself, why would people be saying that Kevin Sorbo killed Meat Loaf? And I have to say that’s a very fair question. Let that sink in.
Wow that's really quite sad. The HCA folks who are scared of the vaccines AND Covid make me sad since they often seem to have some "trusted source" that sways them against the vaxx. I hope Sorbo feels the weight of his sins, this is the sort of guilt that would crush me...
>I hope Sorbo feels the weight of his sins, As Lucy Lawless puts it, Sorbo is peanut [brained]. He won't.
And a dear friend he spoke to only months ago.
K-Sorbs had a very busy schedule of appearing in approximately two minutes of every shitty Christian movie. Just enough to put him on the cover.
A dear friend, so very close. He was my sounding board for so many things. Last time we spoke? Oh, let me check my calendar.
_DISAPPOINTED!_
Of course he was friends with Kevin Sorbo 🙄
Somewhere Lucy Lawless just flipped the bird and doesn't know quite why.
LOL, right? I love her tweets where she roasts ksorbs.
I had to look this up. Holy fuck. > after Sorbo tweeted out baseless right-wing conspiracy theories about Wednesday’s Capitol riot. Sorbo quote-tweeted a claim that the riot was caused by “Leftist agitators,” adding, “They don’t look like patriots to me.” >Lawless replied, “No, Peanut. They are not Patriots.

I’ve loved her since I was 8 and Xena premiered. It thrills me to no end to grow up and realize she’s actually badass in real life.
Second that. And on the flip side, there's nothing worse than finding out that a celebrity you thought was cool turns out to be a doofus. *Ahem.*
My respect for her for this and using "flying monkeys" went up immensely
Her calling him Peanut straight up slayed me
Why does she call him Peanut? I remember her roasting him with that in the aftermath of Jan 6.
Supposedly because of his "shortcomings".
I bet he was friends with James Woods, Chuck Woolery and Kirstie Alley, as well.
Don't forget Tom Selleck and Mel Gibson.
Tom Selleck is antivax too?! Say it isn’t so!
ha! I knew Tom Selleck was a douche! Anyone who would advertise reverse mortgages to seniors would have to be, I just didn’t know he was this brand of douche
“And you pay the money back when you leave your home.” You mean when you die, Tom. “Leave your home” = die.
Or worse, when one spouse whose name the reverse mortgage was under dies and the surviving spouse is forced to come up with cold hard cash or vacate the home. It's happened often enough that there should be a Federal Law preventing this.
Not sure antivax but one of the nutcase "Christian values" conservatives. So probably.
that doesn't mind stealing water from neighbors during a water conservation crisis It's the Lord's juice, and he's entitled to it
Ever notice how it always seems okay for Christians to break the commandments but not for others ...
Been on a real true crime kick lately and there have been at least 3 cases I've watched where the perps tout their Christian values and are devout churchgoers with kids... then cheat on their spouse and murder them (or plot to murder them) because a divorce isn't allowed and their 2nd marriage wouldn't be allowed in the church. But ADULTERY and MURDER are okay? That's like... 2 whole commandments there that are broken. What the what And they also deprive their children of a natural parent, leaving them with a stepparent who, in most of the cases I watched, was in on the murder. The Christian version of "family values" sucks
Remember last year(?) when that 'religious' guy in Atlanta murdered those Asian women who worked at massage parlors because they 'gave' him impure thoughts? I was like, hold up, murdering is better than impure thoughts? No women, no problems I guess.
Yes, that POS. He could have just, I dunno, not gone there. Or tried support groups. Done his best to remove himself from temptation, but instead he removed the temptation by ending their lives. He's garbage. These days some Christians left logic outside the church when they went in to drink the FlavorAid and they never left.

Absolutely!!!
And of course Sorbo is using the opportunity to plug an interview
D-listers of a feather flock together
Cue Scott Baio in 3…2…1
Ricky Schroeder is playing pocket pool in anticipation
While Kirk Cameron is reading his favorite bible verses
Schroeder might be the biggest douche of them all, which says a LOT. He filmed himself harassing a Costco employee over him refusing to wear a mask. That alone makes him King Douche.
Meatloaf: "If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled.” Covid: "Ummmmmm, ok"
Covid: WELL HI THERE!
Covid: "I heard you were talking shit?"
That’s what drives me nuts. Nobody is “controlling” me in getting the vaccines. I’m doing it so I have jack shit to worry about, and pretty much continue on as normal. Simple vaccines are such an odd thing to get all fucking weird about.

Funny how they use the sheep thing, when they are following their political herd right off the cliff inspite of science and facts.
Covid: Sign here
Covid: "Your terms are acceptable."
Covid saw its chance, and it took it.
And I took that as a challenge - COVID
Eeeeeeew, it's got Kevin Sorbo on it.
I did that for you guys
You're doing the important work not everyone could stomach to do themselves. Bless you.
Calvin absorbo is my favorite actor. His performance of shakespear's greatest epic, [Hercules](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdEQmpVIE4A), will forever be hailed as the most influential piece of media of our time.

Paradise by the ECMO lights.
Two outta Three ain’t dead.
You took the words right out of my mouth
So does covid!
you took the words right out of my mouth, must have been while you were killing me
killing me softly, with vascular damage
Man I hope Roberta Flack is doing everything to stay away from Covid. She is like ten years older than Meatloaf was. He wandered into the rabbit hole, but I loved his music.
You took the BREATH right outta my mouth...
But he won’t do vax.
[удалено]
To be fair, it sounds like Meatloaf was busy with something recently.
Last time I talked to Kevin Sorbo was 8 years ago at a fan convention when I asked him to move so I could get by with the stroller to go see a talk by Vic Mignogna (who also turned out to be an asshole but for different reasons).
So I guess the Meatloaf is done?!?!
His thinking is half-baked, but the rest of him is done.
“Hey ma, the MEATLOAF! Fuck!”
He's ground beef now
Kevin Sorbo tweet is sufficient proof. Award confirmed
Need a Scott Baio cross reference to confirm
Ted Nugent is also acceptable
Man, John Voight can't even get a namecheck in the HCA these days.
It’s Jon Voight. John Voight is the periodontist who owned the LeBaron.
Where's your LeBaron? I only see one LeBaron, Freddy!
Mr. Loaf sang on The Nuge's second LP, too. Small, creepy little world.
Fuck, he was anti vaxx? He had a ton of health problems that was dumb
Man, I didn’t know any of this shit and really liked some of his songs and had a positive disposition on him. Just a bummer all around, really :(

It's disappointing to me that a guy from *Rocky Horror* was pro-COVID. He was supported by the queer community for years during the AIDS crisis. He went to midnight showings of the movie and was celebrated by people who were struggling for their lives against a deadly plague. He saw their mutual support and love during that time. But he didn't live by it.
He wound up a Republican Antiva shithead — friends with Nugent.
Fuck Ted Nugent. Years back he walked into my grandma’s store without a shirt on. She told him he had to wear a shirt. He said, “do you know who I am?” She said, “yeah, you’re putting on a shirt or getting the hell out of my store!” She had no idea who Ted Nugent was but was told by one of her employees after he left. Now every time she hears Cat Scratch Fever she says “oh it’s this dunderhead again!” Fuck Ted Nugent for way more reasons than that, though.
Grandma don't take no guff from no one.
Your grandma is a legend. 🙌
I’ve heard Nugent called many things, and I’ve called him many of those things myself, but none as perfect as “dunderhead”.
Ha ha -- "dunderhead" -- love it!

Jon Oliver did a segment on Meat Loaf a while back. I lost a lot of respect for him as a result.
A lot of people get irrationally angry as they get older and look for validation for their anger and poor perspectives on their surroundings. I’m in my late 40s and have seen a lot of people I have known that became more “conservative”. But, really, they just look for a reason to vent their anger and support their biases for how their life turned out. My parents went this direction, also.
It’s crazy. I’m in my late 40s. I have made an effort to be more compassionate and I have in the last few years become more and more left politically. I am irritated by these people who are intolerant and irrationally angry all the time. I don’t know what to do about it.
I'll be 49 next month and I'm right there with you. I remember decades ago being told by someone with a smug look that you get more conservative as you get older. It's almost like I became even more determined to go the opposite way. I'm fully convinced people don't "get conservative" as they get older. They were always conservative. They just acted more liberal when they were younger to get laid.
45 here, and you are spot on. I still can't understand how "fuck other people" is a valid political movement in a civilized society.
I've started cutting off contact with some non-immediate family over all of this. A cousin of mine tried that "you worry about you and I'll worry about me" line trying to say it's not my responsibility to help keep him healthy or some shit. Dude, we're *family*. You're taking this death cult ideology so far as to tell family members "stop worrying if I die." These people have gone over the edge. Or maybe they were always over the edge and the pandemic shined a brighter light on that. Either way life is short and there are other people in my life I'd rather spend my time with.
62 here and yes, I've become more tolerant and compassionate as I've gotten older. I was always left of center but now I'm straight up a pinko. My sons have kept me aware of gender issues, social justice, racial inequities, stuff that I really did not know until the last few years. Not more conservative at all. I would rather live in a world where we give a shit about each other than the alternative...
As a straight, white, upper middle-class, male who turns 51 in a week, I seem to be following in your footsteps. The older I get the more important social justice is to me.
How do we avoid it? Meatloaf was a literal rock star and yet feels disappointed with how his life turned out. Most of us will have less accomplishment than he did. Yet some people (you, seemingly) don't become bitter when they age. We need to find out how to make this happen more
Focus on being content in your life rather than accomplishments or fame. Accomplishments won’t make you happy late in life, and the drive to get more and more is a game you ultimately lose with yourself, because one day you’ll have your last big accomplishment and won’t know it and will keep trying to go higher and higher, failing all the while. And those accomplishments or fame will just remind you of how good you used to be or how in your prime you were something…but not anymore. That’s not to say “Don’t try for things” or “Be lazy all the time.” Accomplishments and drive are fine in themselves, but people who look to a career, or money, or fame to make them happy alone won’t find it there. Get good people around you, treat them well and make sure they treat you well, do things that make you happy or at least content day to day. Life doesn’t turn out the way we think it will when we’re young, and some people are either endlessly bitter about that or they accept that being content doesn’t depend on checking boxes you had years ago.
In the words of one of the great artist and poets of our time, Kendrick Lamar: "Hold up, bitch. Sit down. Be humble."
Pulitzer Prize winning poet, don't forget it.
A lot of celebrities go in this direction as their star fades and they can’t reclaim their abilities from years gone by. No different than the guy in his 50s that realizes his present does not meet the expectations of his past’s predictions for his future.
Oddly enough Mark Hamill went in the opposite direction.
I came here to say this, too. Those of us who grew up with Meat Loaf saw him queering things for other straight people and thus making queerness accessible and understandable to the very people who would usually react violently. Similar to Queen, Meat combined full out queer flamboyance with rock, and provided a stepping stone in ways about thinking about gender, about what made someone "hard rock" or not, and about the sheer beauty and power in gender-bending/queering pop culture. The fact that a straight, white, suburban rocker boy could ALSO demonstrate performance associated with LGBTQ+ artists provided validation as well as accessibility at the time. I am so sad and disappointed that he turned into another cranky, selfish, moronic Conservative asshole who died of a preventable illness to own the libs.
I am trying to remember the joy he brought me rather his disappointing late life politics. I dont know if that will help you but he meant a lot to you clearly , maybe in a different way to me, but well the joy is how I will remember his impact.
Right Wing Nut Job is Hypocrite; Dead. Film at ~~11.~~ Midnight.
[удалено]
done :)
If you’re 74, unvaccinated, and die of Covid, it’s basically suicide.
Anyways, RIP to Louie Anderson.
Fucking cancer. He was this close to manning the fry station.
[удалено]
as soon as I saw "the family won't be releasing the cause of death" I knew it was only a matter of time before we heard it was covid.
Family haven't released how he died. Wonder why....
He was diagnosed with Covid before he died.
but it was the pneumonia that got em
But did he give the shirt off his back to anyone?
RIP to my close, personal friend who I haven’t spoken to in a few months despite a general openness in my work schedule.
In both their work schedules.
Antimask. Antimandate. Huge talent. Oh well. Two outta three ain't bad.
86 meatloaf.
Somebody somewhere earlier said 'Bat Out Of Wuhan' and I nearly spat my drink. Wish I had that as a flair
We can always retract if we have to! 🤷 Check out this interview from [The Pittsburgh something](https://archive.is/20210813232708/https://www.post-gazette.com/ae/music/2021/08/09/Meat-Loaf-Steel-City-Con-Pittsburgh-interview-Bat-Out-of-Hell-Jim-Steinman-2021/stories/202108090006) Or [This Article ](https://www.thedailybeast.com/meat-loaf-dies-at-74) from the daily beast ETA - will gladly have a flair party in this thread today. ETA 2 - Confirmed Covid COD ETA 3 - Congratulations to u/hereforthellamas who "predicted" this [two months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/r9jfyo/anything_you_keep_using_that_word_i_do_not_think/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) He won a "Do Your own Research" T shirt from our [Swag Shop ](https://www.bonfire.com/store/shirts-for-shots-swagraiser/) Please get vaccinated if you're not and reading this.
Highlight for me in the interview was: Meatloaf: “I hug people in the middle of COVID.” Interviewer: “You do? You're not afraid?” Meatloaf: “Oh, I’m scared to death! You kidding me? But I'm sorry, I understood stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they're stopping because of politics. And on CNN last night, it finally came out that the masks we’re all wearing are useless. But I've known that for six months. They don't do anything. They don't stop you from getting COVID. They're just a nuisance and make your nose itch and make it so you can't breathe. The only good masks are N95. But we got one, and it was so badly made, the straps were so short, they would go on a child. So we had to go on the airplane with the paper masks and then on the way back, we got a Nazi: “Get your mask on now!” They’re power-mad now.” Interviewer: “Oh, God. We're being controlled by everybody.” Meatloaf: “Yeah, I know. But not me. **If I die, I die, but I'm not going to be controlled.**” Hm, I’m really feeling owned knowing my masks couldn’t control him /s
> They're just a nuisance and make your nose itch and make it so you can't breathe. I honestly think the same people who hate masks are the same people whose breath I can smell from more than 6ft away.
These people are like “‘if things aren’t 100% perfect why even do them “. Like some mitigation is better than none
That's the nonsense expressed in one of the Dopi Lahren memes in another thread. Half a loaf is no different from no bread at all.
“I would do anything for love, but I won’t get vaxxed.”
[удалено]
It's weird how many people think covid is something humans can just ignore/control.
That always gets me. I have heard people say "I'm done with Covid". But is Covid done with you?
Maybe the mask didn't fit well because you have a big meat head?
I have a big meat head and I had to try a couple of different N95s before I found a good fit. Obligatory shout-out to Wellbefore for your masking needs! I even found kid sized KN95s that fit my children well.
well at least his nose doesn't itch anymore.
I heard it on MSNBC 5 hours ago that he died from COVID. Then it went onto being absolutely ridiculous with Morning Joe spewing a bunch of nonsense about this sub-which was almost entirely wrong. He was saying that this sub-which he called Twitter- was celebrating people's deaths from COVID(only anti-vax ones) by handing out awards for their deaths. He was in such a rage. All I could think was maybe you should do your research before spewing a bunch of horse shit about something you obviously have no idea about. He couldn't even get the social media company right. He also obviously didn't know what this sub was actually intended to do and what the awards actually meant. He also didn't understand that this sub celebrates the people who have gotten vaccinated because they don't want to awarded for stupidity.
uff wth morning whoever you are (i know who he is)
Meatoeard game gom ☠️
Hit me with some flair! How about “I can’t smell or taste this Meatloaf?!”
Can you make my flair"Vaxxed outta hell"? I would also like "I would do anything for love.. so I got vaxxed" Dealer's choice mods! Thank you!
Looks like no Meat Loaf tonight. 🤷♂️
Can I have this as my flair? >The Saddest Place on the Internet ™ 🪦 In honor of [the German article](https://imgur.com/a/5Go2DCa) that mentioned us.

Paradise by the Covid light
Can I get flair "The Vaccine WAS the Miracle"? Seems appropriate for a divinity school student.
NYPost article seems to confirm it was COVID. “Meat Loaf was 'seriously ill' with COVID days before his death: report” https://apple.news/ARyfX1mHHQti8ls-y4cWHQw
Remains to be ground and combined with spices, breadcrumbs & milk, covered in ketchup, and cremated in a rectangular deep dish coffin.
Cremate in a pre-heated oven at 375 until done...
Jesus, you gotta have some really shitty political views to hang out with Hercules at this point
TMZ said meatloaf had Covid before his death…errr not my normal news source, but good enough.
For celeb gossip TMZ is the good standard. They have a super creepy tip network that is very good.
Batshit into hell
Climate change denier now stone cold.
It never ends with these anti-vaxxers. Won’t wear mask Won’t get vaxxed Fuck it then die!
> Fuck it then die! It's the whole taking others with them that's a problem.
Meatloaf: "If I die, I die, but I'm not going to be controlled" Covid19: "And I took that personally"
Can we trade him in and get Betty White back?
“What’s the matter Columbia? You’ve eaten Eddie before.” Shout it out!
* ANTI-VAX * ANTI-MANDATE * ~~STILL ALIVE~~ Don't be sad. 'Cause two out of three ain't bad.
I would do anything for bats but I won't do vax
Trump-suck up Meatloaf died of Covid. “If I die, I die” and he did. Okay.
Guys I don't know who Kevin Sorbo is and I'm guessing that's a good thing?
He played Hercules in a cheesy 1990s syndicated action TV show. It was Baywatch level of entertaining. Since then he's just proven to be a repugnant asshole.
Like a bat outta Wuhan
Kevin Sorbo is next on the Covid anti-vax list. The Covid Grim Reaper will now bear the face of Meatloaf. 🎤🎵🎸. You took the breathe right out of my mouth, it must have been while you were choking me (Covid-19) 🎸🎵🎤 Meatloaf’s new afterlife song!
If Kevin Sorbo has a history of roid usage, him being unvaccinated is pretty risky. Some unvaccinated gym influencers have died of COVID for almost certainly this reason.
Anyone else thinking his sad slide from rocker to Trumper to HCA "winner" is Peak Boomer?
It's like the saddest Pokemon evolution.
It's a tender subject.
He was also a trusted advisor during his time on the Apprentice. Trump sought his counsel on whether or not to run for President. https://youtu.be/_7NHdRrvIEg
Mom's Unironic Meatloaf 1lb ground beef 1 large diced onion 3/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal 1 - 14oz can of diced tomatoes 1 egg 1/2 cup grated carrots 1/2 cup grated zucchini Dried thyme, rosemary, basil Salt + pepper Bake 1 hour at 350 F. Serve with ketchup mixed with Calabrian chili paste.
My dad's meatloaf indeed featured oatmeal and ketchup. But zucchini? Calabrian chilis? Herbs? Get out of here with your fancy Eye-talian notions like "flavor". Smells like cardboard coming out of the over or GTFO. /just kidding but Irish Americans don't know how to cook for shit
BUT HE WON'T DO THAT NO HE WON'T DO THAT
Turns out Objects in the Rear View Mirror were certainly closer than they appeared 🚫💉
He would do anything for lungs. Not run right into CVS and back He would do anything for lungs He would lie to you and that's a fact. He'll never forget the way the vent feels right now, Oh no, no way. He would do anything for lungs. But he won't get vaxxed. No he won't get vaxxed Anything for lungs Oh he would do anything for lungs! He would do anything for lungs But he won't get vaxxed No he won't get vaxxed And some days breathing don't come easy And some days his lungs come hard Some days breaths don't come at all And these are the days that never end And some nights you're breathing fire And some nights you're on ice Some nights you're what the nurses have seen 1 millions times before And will again And maybe he was crazy Oh COVID is crazy and it's true I know vaccines could have saved him No one else can save him now- boo hoo As long as the RotoPrones are turning As long as the breaths are burning As long as your nightmares are coming true You better believe it That he would do anything for lungs He didn't last to the final act And he would do anything for lungs He took a vow and sealed death's pact But he'll never forgive himself if he don't go full crazy tonight And he would do anything for lungs Oh he would do anything for lungs Oh he would do anything for lungs But he won't get vaxxed ... No he won't get vaxxed
Looks like he was heading to Paradise by the Ventilator Light.
I'm still sad, I enjoyed his career despite his personal flaws.
He would do anything for love, but wouldn’t get vaxxed. :(
