Disco Stu 15,483 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 One of my favorite writers and critics, Terry Teachout, died very suddenly yesterday. He was known as a theater critic but I loved most his writings on jazz and classical music and classic films. His biographies on Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong I disagreed with in a lot of ways, but they are wonderfully written and very perceptive. He was the best kind of critic: the kind whose best writing was about art that he loved, not that he hated. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/14/1073037473/terry-teachout-dies-critic Bespin and Tallguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,284 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Meat Loaf was the creation of Jim Steinman. He cannily exploited Springsteen's three year absence- 1975-1978- by creating the sound- alike BAT OUT OF HELL album. Loaf's most memorable moment for me was the use of " Standing on.the Outside" in MIAMI VICE. RIP.ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP.ML I mean you could just as easily say that Meat Loaf made Steinman’s career, they conceived of Bat Out of Hell together, each inspiring the other. Meat Loaf was beginning a successful career on stage in Hair and then Rocky Horror Show before they got the recording deal too of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,173 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 There was a name for the style of Meatloaf's music but I don't remember what it was. But whatever the style was, it's not what Springsteen was making. For the record, I'm not a fan of either Meatloaf or Springsteen, so they do have that in common.

bruckhorn 103 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Bat Out of Hell has been described as Wagnerian Rock and Roll. It’s what got me to listen to it the first time. And I’ve been a fan ever since. Useless trivia: Roy Bittan (piano) and Max Weinberg (drums) from the E Street Band contributed their talents to Bat Out of Hell.

A change of tack, but another Radio 4 prog/podcast I've recently been listening to is Uncanny in which a chap called Danny Robins interviews people who've had what they believe to be genuine paranormal experiences and then he chats to professional sceptics and 'believers' to see what they make of it all. It drew me in because the first one had a local angle ... a bloke studying microbiology at Belfast's Queen's University in the early 80s had some very strange things happen to him whilst staying in Room 611 of Alanbrooke Hall, a student accomodation tower block (demolished in the early 00s). I remain a sceptic, but the people telling these stories aren't 'belief in anything and everything spiritual' idiots and their stories are fascinating.
