Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
For a man named after comfort food, Meat Loaf isn’t your run-of-the-mill musical fare. Orchestrated to the nth degree, his music is as much about the theatrics as it is about the man. He has had a strange, enchanted career — opening for rock legends (the Who, the Stooges, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper) and achieving cult stardom as Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. His milestone album, 1977’s Bat Out of Hell, still sells about 200,000 copies a year. The ’80s were less than kind to him, but with 1993’s Bat Out of Hell II, he staged one of the greatest comebacks in pop culture history.
