When I go to a Meat Loaf show, I personally spend just as much time watching the others on stage as I do Meat Loaf himself. The entire package of what is being presented on stage is of paramount importance. I remember watching the life of the show being sucked up by Renee Cologne. I did not physically attend shows, but from what I saw on television and product that was officially released, I did not enjoy what Aspen Miller brought to the table. That said, IMHO there has never been a more perfect foil who brought unique dynamic tension and professionalism to the stage with Meat Loaf than the stellar talents of Ms. Patti Russo. I will fully admit to going to see Meat Loaf to see Patti on stage just as much as seeing the big guy himself. This does not make me any more or less of a fan of his work than someone who attends shows just to watch Meat Loaf and nothing else - it doesn't.

Thank you to Patti Russo for all of the years. I will miss your beautiful presence on stage with Meat Loaf, but I know there are other opportunities around the corner for you. One Door Opens.... You will be missed lovely lady, you will be missed.
