Poor Meatloaf, died of the covid. He was also a vocal critic of vaccines and their mandates. His daughter(Pearl Aday) is married to the guitarist in Anthrax, Scott Ian.
My dad would often say "Meat..... Loaf" in a kind of Meatloaf tone when talking about what we were having for dinner. Not a huge fan of his music though, but he was entertaining on our former president's reality TV show. Screamed a lot at people.
