Exactly. Meat may have achieved initial iconic status in collaboration, but put huge effort into getting the album to take off, has kept the songs alive for over 30 years, and has proved himself over and again as a rock singer/performer.
And had he remained an actor? I think it's an insulting assumption to suggest he'd have not got anywhere. Had he devoted all his efforts to the theatre, who knows what success he might have had. This is a man recently inducted into the Texas Film HoF, and who has shown himself to be an intelligent, thoughtful and excellent actor.
