Meat Loaf - Wellmont - July 17, 2012

Went to see  Meat Loaf at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair last night. He certainly is different. Why, oh, why do older musicians pick up backup groups that play so that you can't hear anything? Even the music itself is practically unbearable. It was so hard to hear Meat Loaf sing over the raucous background group. Made Steven furious. There were only a couple of really good songs... Paradise by the Dashboard Light was understandable (but then again, I knew the lyrics). But the band made Bat out of Hell and I Would Do Anything For Love hard to understand and/or listen to... But I do get into the loud music and crowd, because I like to get up and dance. Meat Loaf looked up into the balcony where we were sitting and I swear he said to me that he was singing one song just for me.      Cell phones make lousy cameras - or at least mine does. These pictures are worse than my ones at B.B. Kings... Sigh. Hoping this isn't his last tour - literally. After I posted about Davy Jones' last show at B.B. King's, he passed on just 10 days later. And that made me very, very sad....

Wednesday

Thank goodness for Wednesdays. I'm doing laundry - delicates and whites, mostly, since the washer takes forever... It's a nice day out. It's one of those winters where this week in February is the nicest of the winter. I'm hoping that doesn't mean blizzards in March...I sent some things to Blogger from a show at B.B. Kings  on Saturday from my cell phone, but I guess it didn't get here. Davy Jones is finally showing his age. I am not entering any more contests to see him. His jokes were  very bad and his voice , although strong, doesn't seem to sound as good anymore. Maybe I'm just getting older in my mind... I think he shortened some of the Monkees' songs - maybe his memory is going? His wife wasn't in this show though, which was a blessing. One doesn't want to be reminded of a teen idol who has married a gal half his current age. Had Monday off for Presidents' Day - it's always nice to be home at 6 for dinner. Yesterday was extremely busy though, so it's hardly worth it when you have twice as much to do the next day.
