While staying at a hotel in Lagos, Portugal, I finished the book I was reading. They had a lobby book exchange. Only two books were in English.

One, a thriller by a popular writer, was so poorly written, I couldn’t go on with it.

So, Meatloaf it is! When I was I in college you heard his hits everywhere, and so far his young life is interesting and sad, like when his dad ties to kill him with a butcher knife.

Jim Steinman has unique ways of thinking about things….

“‘I don’t like the idea of forgiving and forgetting,’ he fumed. ‘You know what they say, move on. Well, no. I like to hold on to my passions and let them wreak havoc’” (84).

From Jim Steinman, who wrote all of Meatloaf’s hit songs:

The thing is, they were both amplified human beings. The Wagner material was about God, and Little Richard sounded like God.

It made me realize that you don’t have to remain a human being. One of the great uses of art…is that it was like taking a pill and you were no longer just a human being.
