    ‘If I Die, I Die’: Meat Loaf Spurned COVID Rules Before Death
    https://ca.yahoo.com/style/die-die-meat-loaf-spurned-082411909.html
    Reuters/Arnd WiegmannTheatrical rock superstar Meat Loaf, whose Bat Out of Hell is one of the bestselling albums of all time, has died at the age of 74. Reports say the singer and actor had recently fallen sick with COVID-19.In an emotional statement posted to Facebook early Friday, the performer’s family said he was with his wife when he died and had said his final goodbyes to his two daughters in the past 24 hours. The star sold 100 million albums in his five-decade career and starred in movie


    In May, he posted a clip of Eric Clapton’s anti-lockdown song “Stand and Deliver,” and, in what appears to be one of his last interviews, Meat Loaf appeared to be losing patience with pandemic measures.
    Speaking to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in August last year, he told the interviewer “I hug people in the middle of COVID,” and said: “I understood stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they’re stopping because of politics.”
    The singer went on to complain about being asked to wear a mask on a plane, stating that he didn’t believe paper masks were as good at N95s at stopping the coronavirus from spreading. “We had to go on the airplane with the paper masks and then on the way back, we got a Nazi: ‘Get your mask on now!’ They’re power-mad now,” he told the paper.
    After the interviewer replied, “Oh, God. We’re being controlled by everybody,” the singer responded ominously, “Yeah, I know. But not me. If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled.”

      E. Clapton is a well-known right wing bigot. It's a shame that Meat saw him as a role model.

      Has anyone mentioned how good he was in Fight Club?

        I pay as much attention the vapid opinions of rock stars as I do to the political insights of rugby football jocks.
        Unfortunately, that disconnect is not observed by thousands of others, and there's the danger.

                        Holy Cow, can't believe I missed the line in Rob's first post in this thread that Louie Anderson also passed. 2022 sure is getting off to a bad start.

                        Anyway, when I saw this meme, I immediately thought of Rob S. Too soon?

                          Things change, but as far as three-wheelers go, I still feel the same: I won't do that!

                              Nice. Touching. Too bad it has to be done through bars (no touching). I'm old enough to remember bus and airport lockers.

                                I've heard that he died with covid, true or not I don't know. At his age he should have been taking every precaution. It was his choice, so......
