[Wario]

Finally an australian News station that sympathizes with Meat :D

It was suggested that Loaf’s appalling performance was due to the weather. More likely, his earpiece wasn’t working. In any case, it went down as possibly the worst grand final entertainment ever, and much was written about it with some attacking the organizers for employing Meat, who was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Loaf’s Australian tour otherwise got strong reviews so it’s not as if he’s lost it. Yet with mishaps plaguing many performances in the past, it possibly shouldn’t have come as a surprise.

That was more of a mini biography......

But it wasn't bad either, the little bit they DID write that was current, they didn't even mention HIAHB??

Thanks Wario

Hmm....I'd give the first paragraph a D, and the second a B. :?

Thanks for posting, Warrio.

Thanks Wario, at last some smidgen of understanding from a small section of the Australian press.

I scanned it quickly but I didn't see any mention of Meat's statement.

Ick! I wouldn't call that a very favorable piece at all. But I suppose in comparison to some of the other stuff....
