When Eddie said he didn't like his Teddy
You knew he was a no-good kid
But when he threatened your life
With a switch-blade knife
What a guy! (Whoa, oh, oh)
Makes you cry (Hey, hey, hey)
Und I did (I did)

 

[FJAG]

Well, fuck.

There seems to be an acceleration of people that I like dying recently. It's about time for some a**holes to go instead.

He's before my time but I know his art was loved by many. RIP

As teenager, seeing the midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Roxy Theatre in downtown Toronto was..... enlightening.

Sail on, Mr Meatloaf.

I first saw it in Kingston when a bunch of us on the Army Command and Staff Course went to see it. We had a number of foreign students on our serial including a Kuwaiti. He came with us to the movie and to an after party as well. For him especially it was also - very enlightening.

I hope they do, but I wouldn't bet on some celebs making it through 2022.

Dick van Dyke, Henry Kissinger, Angela Lansbury, Bob Barker, ...

But I wasn't a cult member because, you know, I only saw it about a couple dozen times and could stop going at any time

The Rocky Horror Picture Show cult following​

Audience participation also includes dancing the Time Warp along with the film, and throwing objects such as toast, water, toilet paper, hot dogs, and rice at appropriate points in the movie. Many theatres forbid throwing items that are difficult to clean up. In many cases, a total ban on throwing objects has been instituted due to severe damage to movie screens. Fans often attend shows in costume as the characters. At a now-defunct theater in New Orleans, the local "Eddie" would ride his motorcycle down the aisle during Meat Loaf's/Eddie's song, "Hot Patootie."[3]: 120

It's TMZ so who knows how accurate that is.

It might have been a stroke. I heard he had two strokes in the past.

Hey, two outta three ain't bad.
