'Eagles'
The original Eagles, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, each came from diverse backgrounds before performing together for the first time as Linda Ronstadt's backing band at Disneyland in 1971. The two relatively inexperienced Eagles destined to be the group leaders were Glenn Frey, born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and Don Henley, from Linden Texas. Both say their lives were changed by seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, as so many American musicians have.

Eddie Has Left The Building
Encountering Meatloaf in The Rocky Horror Picture Show The first time I had an encounter with Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947 – Left This Mortal Plane January 20, 2022), was watching the excellent musical Richard O’ Brien’s “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” featuring Tim Curry as the sweet transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist and Meatloaf as Eddie, an Ex Delivery Boy on a Motorcycle with only half a brain who met his comeuppance with a pick axe.

Bat Out Of Hell
The title refers to his very successful album and song by the same title. He was larger than life and full of dynamic energy. American singer and actor Meat Loaf could belt out a song in a rough, tough, voice and then switch to a slower ballad and wring out the emotions in you. Sadly on January 20, 2022, Meat Loaf passed away and joined the rock and roll band in the sky at the age of 74. As much as he will be missed his music and the movies in which he played make him immortal and we can still enjoy his dynamic presence on videos.
