I agree we all appreciate the many projects Mr. Loaf has put his blood, sweat, and tears into, but (and I only speak for msyelf on this matter) I cannot come to a worship alter for Meat Loaf. Behind the might character of Meat Loaf lies a hard-working man named Michael Aday. A man who has an impecable work ethic - much more so than most all of us. I guess I have learned to look and see that Michael Aday is just a man - worthy of equal treatment by all. Sorry that I cannot bow down and worship, but I can appreciate his craft and see him as the absolute best at what he does. Does this make my admiration of Meat Loaf any less than yours? Sorry, but the answer is no. We all love and appreciate Meat Loaf very much, but just in vastly different ways. I can understand the way you view him, and cannot understand why some refuse to extend others the same courtesy.

David, Most of this post i do actually agree with. I'm not here to alter - worship him either, i too see him as just a man. A man with remarkable talent and grace, but nonetheless, still a man. A man who is very sensitive and prone. He has alway's been his own harshest critic and i daresay he knows when he might not have given his best performance - i just think that he doesn't need to have it pointed out to him repeatedly.
