So somehow I missed Lou Reed. Still, Lou Reed doing Edgar Allen Poe was less tempting than Lou Reed doing Lou Reed. But Next year! Oh, next year!
MeatLoaf - _Last Ever Tour_, with the MSO!
David BOWIE.
Bowie! And Meat Loaf!!
(Though I'm not 100% sure about Bowie yet. It's more than a rumour, but less than a confirmed date. And, frankly, there are some decent tracks on his new albums, but it ain't Ziggy. Not by a long shot.).
But MeatLoaf!!!
And he's doing a signing in Melbourne tomorrow. It's so tempting to rock up, buy a copy of the new album and say "But could you sign this skanky old tape that is evidently a mix of you and lots of other people (including Bonnie Tyler) and was put together by my First Ever Girlfriend when we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed?" Being Meatloaf, he'd probably have the presence of mind to reply "Let me sleep on it...". Then I'll *know* he'll love me till the end of time.
Oh, none of that will make sense if you can't recite the lyrics to "Paradise by the Dashboard Light ". Meatloaf. I'm a big Meatloaf fan. There. My great secret is out.

well, true.

It's sad, but...
Date: 2003-10-07 03:51 am (UTC)Unfortunately, I can recite that entire album.
And if Bowie's part of the deal, then I've changed my mind. I'm definately up for it.
Being of a certain age
