My favourite Meatloaf song is "Anything for Love" - And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back, I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact. I Would do anything for love, Anything you've been dreaming of, But I just wont do that..."
As a an 80's child - I like my Rock stars to have lots of make -up, long unkempt hair and sing heart wrenching love ballads. I don't like love songs which are soft and weepy (yawn) - like Celine Dion, Justin Bieber or Mylie Cyrus - I'm a Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi and of course Meatloaf kinda girl.
So, you ask, why do I think you are interested my music choice? Well it ties into what I made for dinner last night meatloaf (with a small m). Maybe I'm crazy, But it's crazy and it's true - I would do anything for love, even make meatloaf!
Just like an 80's rock star, it's not pretty to look at, but it tastes great!

I never quite understood that song, but I do understand meatloaf and the sense of comfort it gives as a family supper :)

You do realise that song is going to be stuck in my head all day long now, don't you?
Great looking meatloaf (the food, not the man).
I find it hard to believe that I have never made a meatloaf. Thx for the inspiration!
meatloaf is so underrated, but can be so good! also, try making individual portions in a muffin tray, that can be quite fun :)
I had pictures of KISS all voer my walls growing up :) I have never made meatloaf!
He's a good performer but I think I'd rather eat this than listen!
