Dreamless interlude

[d_Guy]

As most of Pendrakenland abides in slumber I was transported to the days of my youth by "Let's Do the Time Warp Again" on fsn's magisterial "Pendrakenmas 2016" and I found my thoughts turning  - to Meatloaf! As one commenter has recently said - "I don't often play Meatloaf these days but when I do I share it with the neighbors! -YeeHaw!"

So, not wishing to further sully or detract from the tight focus  - and I'm going to say it - near sacred nature of fsn's thread,
I present "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" in best rock-opera style:

There's a track I haven't listened to in a a long while.

"It was long ago and it was far away, And it was so much better than it is today."

Ditto....Might have to dig out the Meatloaf CDs out today......and the Jim Steinman(?) one.

The Jim Stienman one was  "Bad for Good".  On the same vein I also liked Bonnie Tyler     I wonder why  :-



In this one she proves blondes have nothing between their ears 



The lead gutarist Matt is the partner of Mrs Orcs' boss(For the record her boss is female)

The Jim Stienman one was  "Bad for Good". 

IIRC, it was supposed to be a Meatloaf album, but when he was unable to record it (strained vocal chords possibly) the record company forced Jim to record/release it in his own name!

Any woman who can shoot laser beams out of her ears is surely a keeper  .

Almost certain you're correct on that, Meirion. 

There's one really belting track on that CD...(IIRC)...I'll try and dig it out this afto'.

Superb artist.

Even makes Celine Dion songs good

I think all songs should be given to Meat Loaf first, then passed on to other artists if felt like it. Would cut out the initial faff.

Talking of Bonnie Tyler ...

[toxicpixie]

I love that video, best of the literal interpretations IMO

Ok - for another post-midnight foray (and continuing database test)

I visited a tank museum in Danville VA back in the Fall. Enjoyed it but knew near to nothing about what I was looking at.
Did find this remnant of the war we (US) fought with Mars in the early fifties:


There are some more pics of the museum here:

Very nice piccies there, Bill ! 

Great stuff. (I don't get the stumpy Martian tripod, though.  )

Cheers -  Phil.

Great shots!

This made me smile DGuy. My good friend Rob C who passed on last year after battling renal issues for many years was a great Meatloaf fan. His last wish, which was carried out by his remaining family, was to be carried out of the church with "Bat out of Hell" playing LOUDLY 

I went with Rob to a Meatloaf concert when he played here in NZ a few years ago - say what you may about him as a artist but his final encore was "Bat out of Hell" and man he put 110% effort into performing that. The crowd was pumping after that one

Loved the story, PtheS!
I would probably have  enjoyed meeting him.

I agree - Meatloaf is wired for performance, turbocharged
