Musings on Meat Loaf

Probably my most salient memory of the pop rock musician and actor Meat Loaf (yet another anti-vaxxxer and anti-masker who, according to some reports, succumbed to covid) involves Munice, Indiana. At the time, I was attending Ball State and living in a big multi-story apartment block stretching into the heavens around University and Jackson. One morning at 2 am I was awakened in my ground floor flat by the blaring sounds of "Bat Out of Hell" coming through the paper thin walls of my bedroom and my next door neighbours whatever. It wasn't the best introduction to the Texan but I ended up kind of liking the song.
