He knows Patti is probably the second most important thing in the show apart from himself, and he has the utmost appreciation for her.
I do hope she manages to do her own thing when Meat decides to call it a day. She is a rock legend that hasn't necessarily had the recognition she deserves. But then I don't think she's bothered about that because she's doing what she loves. With Meat and Patti and these kind of people it's not about the money, it's about enjoying what they're doing, and long may it continue.

Patti's voice and stage presence matches Meat's just perfectly - she never took any acting classes, but she's a real natural when it comes to acting and comedy. They hit it right from the start and through the years developed a perfect understanding of each other. They seem like soulmates.

Totally agree! Aspen has a good voice - but it didn't acomplish Meat's. They didn't match IMO. No doubt there are lots of great singers out there, who would match Meat's voice in a great way. As did Patti, Cher, Marion Raven, Lorraine Crosby. But Aspen just didn't. There was a talkshow Meat was in (don't remember, which one), and the female talkshow host performed a short Paradise version with Meat - and even she gave a better and more credible performance than Aspen did.
Then there's the age difference - their Paradise performance never seemed to be authentic - even when they tried to do the comedy approach. And Aspen's cheerleader seemed more than 'bratty' to me.
And they didn't seem to match physically as well. Patti is about the same height as Aspen, but during Paradise she never looked as small next to Meat, as Aspen did.
Meat & Patti are the perfect pair on stage
