The incomparable Meat Loaf

"If I gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned, dancing through the night with you!!!"

Bat Out Of Hell was like the theme song for my twenties. And...thirties.

And...goddamn it. I am in my feels about this one.

This one breaks my heart. America's Got Talent is utterly dumb, but this woman was astoundingly beautiful and full of the kind of Grace that is biblical in it's scope. I was really hoping she'd beat this thing, despite how dire her prognosis had been. Rest in Peace, Nightbirde. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/21/entertainment/nightbirde-dead/index.html

@betternow

I concur.

It is yet another example of the unfairness of life, a lesson that I still can't describe to my kids even after 15 years of legal practice.

The original "Hot Lips" Houlihan. I remember her best as Dr. Diane Turner, from Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School"

This guy was genius, remember 5 to 10 years ago he was trolling the documentary people and had like 5 crews trying to document him and they didn't know he'd been making other documentaries. The one found other crews and started following the trails. It was great.
