The day that the intolerant k.d. lang refused to meet Meat Loaf - who was a vegetarian at the time - simply because of his name!
Out on the Internet ^ | Meat Loaf sold over | 40 million albums

Health problems caused Jim Steinman to do the vocals in the awesome album “Bad For Good” instead of Meat Loaf but he later did the songs himself.
Steinman’s version was great but Meat Loaf’s are incredible.

Crap.

I just read that Steinman died in April.

Dammit.

Irony is beyond the ken of most liberals.

Oh good grief !
You actually want proof of this story;
as if anyone would go to the trouble to manufacture it? And as if anyone cares whether you or anyone else believes it ?
Weak/silly think.

Meat Loaf wasn’t the first choice for the part of Eddie in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” A famous singer was backstage at the Broadway version of what became the movie. He loved the show. There were talks between the people who ran the show and the singer’s people. But they never came to anything. So Meat Loaf got the part instead of Elvis.

Tolerance is and always has been a one way street with liberals.

How did he get his stage name? There’s several different versions of the backstory on that, all told by him. I saw him on several talk shows and he tells a completely different story every time.

I was cracking up laughing when that Freeper asked if I had a source for this!

This is nothing more than an obscure rock and roll anecdote that I came across in my web surfing earlier today. I thought it was quite amusing (and sad) that k.d. lang would refuse to meet a famous fan of hers on account of his nickname!

Such an insufferable scold and indicative of the toxic hate and intolerance that the Left spews out daily.

For that other Freeper, I did put a link in the header and I guess he/she could go over to the Wikipedia article on Meat Loaf and read it there too in the Personal Life section.

Not that Wikipedia should be considered a serious source but when it comes to leftist "entertainers" (like k.d. lang), you can bet that Wikipedia would have pulled it down if it wasn't true.

By most accounts, a high school football coach coined the "Meat Loaf" nickname on account of his weight.

However he got the nickname, it predated his rock career.
