Meat Loaf music has been in the background of my life for a number of years now. But until recently he was 'just another artist' who was not what I would term one of my favorites. I did not even own a CD of his ....
But one day I picked up a copy of BOOH (1) in the store and bought it (along with 2 other CDs of artist who I can't remember). I only bought BOOH because it was on special and I knew the songs.
Anyway this was THE CD that I played non stop for I can't remember how long. Each listen bought up new pieces to hear. The depth of the music was quite amazing to me. So ... then I bought more BOOH2, WTTN, Midnight etc. Loved them all. What stands out to me is the writing and lyrics on most of his CDs. Just great. The more I listen to it, the more I seem to need to (if that makes sense).
While surfing the net one day I came across this great site and came to know I am not the only one to have such a passion for the music of Meat.
My mother (who always had BOOH) has now become almost as obsessed as me. Now, if Meat could come to NZ for the CHSIB tour live would (almost) be complete ........
