July 3, 200719 yr I heard it on some oddball radio station along the Bluegrass Parkway the other day (CD player hasn't worked in years, and tape deck recently retired as well), and I got reminded of how great a rock'n'roll moment it is when Meatloaf belts out … "I want you (I want you)/ I need you (I need you)/ But there aintnoway I'm ever gonna love you/ Now don't be sad (don't be sad cuz)/ Cuz two outta three ain't bad" Like its campier counterpart, "Paradise By The Dashboard Light," everything about Meatloaf has this epic quality to it, kind of like a white trash "Bohemian Rhapsody." And it just flat-out works. Maybe musically, but during a bout of insomnia the night before last, I watched the movie "Black Dog" in its entireity; starring Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis and yes, Meat Loaf (as "Red"). Fairly forgettable.

July 3, 200719 yr "Lay down, your sweet and weary head. Night is falling. You have come to journey’s end. Sleep now,and dream of the ones who came before. They are calling, from across a distant shore. Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face? Soon you will see. All of your fears will pass away. Safe in my arms, you’re only sleeping. What can you see, on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea, a pale moon rises. The ships have come, to carry you home. And all will turn, to silver glass. A light on the water. All souls pass." Annie Lennox, "Into the West"
