Meatloaf....what a hot mess...

Hey Stephen, psst, come here, I gotta ask you a big favor....it's real important....come closer....closer....nah, a little closer.....are you ready??  Then listen up!!

PLEASE DO NOT EVER COLLAPSE ON A STAGE AND SCARE THE AUDIENCE HALF TO DEATH LIKE MEATLOAF DID TONIGHT!!!


PROMISE ME YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH FIRST AND FOREMOST!!

I chewed off every fingernail I've got, a nervous wreck, because that man FELL BACKWARDS HARD onto the stage, he just collapsed---and he did NOT look well from the very beginning, I even commented to Pete about that, saying "He looks like he's sick." ---But what the HELL was he thinking, wearing a long-sleeved black button-shirt, with a black VEST over it, and BLACK JEANS in this 90 degree humidity and HEAT?!!  Everybody thought he had a heart attack!  He might have a concussion too, because he kept saying he was "seeing double."  JEEZUS CHRIST he freaked everybody out---I was near TEARS, as they ran out and put oxygen on him, the whole audience was in a shocked hush---

Luckily he had only fainted....but holy BEJEEZUS, that was SCARY!!!  The poor guy needs to just retire already, he must be near 70 years old!!!  And he's overweight, too.  He even divulged to us after his fall that he has asthma and couldn't breathe during much of the show-----oh yes, he kept going, despite everybody telling him NOT to.  Stubborn old man.  He finished the entire show, though he had to take a few breaks, use an inhaler, and sit on a stool.

If I were his wife, I would kick his ASS for doing that----the minute he fell, they should have said, "Show's OVER folks, we'll reschedule...he needs to go lie down for awhile!!"  And ya know, you may not believe this, and he probably doesn't either---but I'm telling you BOTH, the fans WOULD TRULY UNDERSTAND if that happened.  Seriously.  Nobody had one bad thing to say about him the whole time, everybody cheered him on, gave him support, yelled positive things----"GET BETTER MEAT, WE LOVE YOU!"  "TAKE A BREAK MEAT, IT'S OKAY!"  Stuff like that.  The REAL fans who love him, (and who love you) would totally understand and support the decision no matter what happened.

But, he was a total professional....his whole band was very professional through the whole show---he looked like he might collapse a few more times but they let him rest, played longer solo's and instrumental breaks, gave him time to breathe in between verses, etc., and I think by the end of the show, his embarrassment and being shaken seemed to be much better.  He kept going, and said, "They said I shouldn't do this show tonight, because I've been fainting a lot lately...but I said, HELL NO, if I'm gonna die then dammit, I want to die doing what I LOVE MOST, and that's being on STAGE."

Meatloaf is a hot mess of a man, and he really isn't well.  I feel so bad for him.  I love his songs.

Now, Stephen, you know I love you too----with all my heart and soul----so please PLEASE just take care of YOU, and don't do what you think the "fans" want you to do----don't do what the high-muckety-mucks with sticks up their butts want you to do either----TO HELL WITH THE MONEY----just BE SAFE, make GOOD decisions about your health, and DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT GO ON A TOUR IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY HEALTH ISSUES.  If that new hip of yours hurts JUST A LITTLE, then GET A CHAIR AND SIT YOUR ASS DOWN, or CANCEL THE SHOW!!! Whatever it might be, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.  Don't be a martyr!!

This was the very first time I've ever been able to see Meatloaf in concert, I really don't want it to be my LAST.  I wrote on his Facebook page that he'd better just CHILL OUT and take care of himself or I'm going to kick his ass for scaring the shit outta me!!

And the same goes for YOU----I have met you TWICE in my lifetime so far, I've seen you in a half dozen concerts----I've met your Journey brothers, several times, and your FTLOSM band---I've met LORA too---but I don't want it to be THE LAST TIME I ever see you.  I want you to be happy and healthy and SAFE, so don't be a stubborn boneheaded MAN like Meatloaf was, and do what is RIGHT for your body and your health.

Lecture over.

I just lecture you about this because I love you.

But holy CRAP I was a nervous wreck of a mess the whole time, watching him struggle through....it broke my heart....he couldn't breathe, kept grabbing his heart, teetering, he seemed dizzy---he really needs to retire.  I took some photos and a couple videos of his songs, but I'll add them to this blog next time.  He really wasn't well at all, and his voice was roached.  But, he amazed us all and kept on going. God love him, and God Bless him.

Tomorrow, Pete and I are off to the Mayhem Festival....have a great weekend.  I love you.

Love, Rebecca
