Don't let your Meat Loaf

I don't have much commentary on this, beyond the hilarious title of my entry:

Meat Loaf, 52, collapsed Monday on the first sellout date at the venue. A spokesman for North West London Hospitals said the pop star was in Northwick Park Hospital recovering "from exhaustion due to a prolonged viral infection."

"Meat Loaf will be re-evaluated by doctors today and further information about his status will be made available," the spokesman said.

His name was Robert Paulson.

Oh, wait. What I meant was, maybe the increasing ranks of aging rockers should start thinking about toning down their onstage antics, especially those hauling a little extra poundage like Mr. Loaf.

And don't throw the Rolling Stones back at me, those guys are nothing but corpses animated by some West African houngan.

"Let them sleep on it," the spokesman added. "They'll give you an answer in the morning."

His name became rather appropriate as he packed on the pounds in life. Rather sad, too. It's all coming back to me now... he stinks. I am shocked that people still pay to see him. Bravo on the post.
