I want Meat to succeed, and I want the album to be an amazing success - I mean, of course I do, hands down, I love Meat's music - and I want Meat to be happy with it. And I want everyone to like it. Of course I do. Not everyone WILL, but I WANT them to. And if they don't, hey, no big deal. But as a fan of this man and his music, I WANT it to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I want it to be brilliant. And so should you.
Isn't that how it should be..?  |
You're preaching to the choir here
Agree with everything you wrote ... It's been expressed before, but that doesn't make it any the less valid. There are some who won't agree with all of it .. and nor does that make it any the less valid to me .. It should be positive, encouraging and celebratory, and for most people here, most of the time it is.
It won't be everywhere, and for some it won't be consistently so here .. but welcome to the internet world of Meat Loaf
I'm not surprised when he reacts like a wounded bear at times; he's someone very special, very talented, unique in many ways, but he's also human, with all the sensitivities that's part of the package for most humans. But I'm heartened by the belief that he's encouraged and feels supported here most of the time. And that's the best we can hope for and work for in my experience.
