There was a really good documentary on one of the minor channels last year, but donkey's year old, maybe around 2000-ish, with interviews with Meatloaf, Steinman, Karla DeVito (?) and others, called 'Classic Albums: Bat out of Hell' or such like. I've tried to Google it for a link, but no joy. Maybe have a search on Sky to see if it's available if you fancy watching it.

I like these threads, you spend a lifetime writing songs and being acclaimed, and for what? So a bunch of people can make cheap jokes when you die. :banana-dance:

I saw a program a while ago investigating where the millions went.
It was found they were owed millions. Went to court a couple of years ago. They got a pittance each after all the legal shit.

Had about 5 minutes of verbal interaction with her about 12 years ago. I couldn't really use the word *conversation*, Batshitcrazy, incoherant & strung out on "something" doesn't even come close to describing her efforts at communication.

Charles Grodin died yesterday. Wasn't in a huge number of films, but was in one of my favourite (and most underrated) 80s movies Midnight Run. In which he's also excellent.

He knew his stuff on Nortons all right.
