RIP Meat Loaf

*the bike Meat Loaf rode in Rocky Horror's "Hot Patootie" scene was a WW2-issue Harley WLA

odd little factoid: Meat Loaf went to the same high school as Michael Nesmith from the Monkees, and Owen Wilson (Jefferson HS Dallas)

Here's a deep cut of Meat Loaf (groan) with one of his first bands, Popcorn Blizzard, doing some hippie free jazz flute stuff in 1968

Meat Loaf was one of a small handful of white acts to sign with Motown, with Shaun "Stoney" Murphy whom he met as a fellow cast member of Hair. They were billed as "Stoney and Meatloaf" [sic]. This one's from 1971
