My Take
Meat Loaf earns my respect as proof that rock and theater were never separate arts. That enormous, operatic voice and those stage shows pitched somewhere between concert and melodrama made him impossible to imitate, and the 1993 Grammy only confirmed what fans already knew. I admire that he committed totally to a persona many critics found absurd; conviction at that scale becomes its own kind of genius. As an actor he brought the same fearlessness, never protecting his dignity at the expense of the performance. Since his passing in 2022, I keep returning to that voice, and it still overwhelms me.
