re: In lieu of turkey....Meatloaf

i have no shame admitting 'bat out of hell' is a masterpiece. loved it then, love it now. i always said if springsteen wrote a broadway rock album back in the day, it would've been something like 'bat out of hell'....when i found out some of bruce's bandmates played on 'bat', it certainly strengthened my opinion, lol....

unfortunately, a combination of subpar writing + his voice crapping out prevented meatloaf from ever coming close to duplicating the quality of that album.....lightning in a bottle.
