He was a big fantasy baseball player, too.


TMZ reports Covid was the cause of death, and he had also railed against vaccine mandates in the past, so it's possible he was unvaxxed. It would be unfortunate if that was the case.

I saw a tweet today from Pauly Shore that comedian Louie Anderson is on his deathbed.

Dang, just saw that it might be covid related too and he had been speaking out against vaccine mandates. Ugh.

I have loved the work of Meatloaf, but I honestly view anti-vax covid deaths as a fact of nature. Like lemmings, they have a design flaw.

Not sure what Meatloaf's stance was, but I'm done mourning covid debatelords.

Meatloaf was a trip. Remember when he sang with Mitt Romney? Never laughed so hard in my life.

Still, his role in Fight Club was an absolute all timer.


His name was Robert Paulson.

Louie Anderson has passed.

One of the funniest comedians I have ever heard. Thank you for the laughs Louie, you will be missed.

I just learned that songwriter Marilyn Bergman passed away on 1/8/22. She, along w husband Alan, wrote melodies and lyrics for many tunes, often collaborating w other composers such as Michel Legrand and Marvin Hamlisch, including "The Windmills of Your Mind", "The Way We Were", "Nice and Easy", made popular by Frank Sinatra and "Yellow Bird". They also collaborated on scores for many movies. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1980. She was 93 y/o. RIP.

So apparently, a 16-year-old Meat Loaf aka Marvin Lee Aday was also present at Parkland Memorial Hospital immediately after the assassination of JFK on November 22, 1963. He grew up in Dallas, Texas and claims that a Secret Service Officer commandeered his car that day and drove him and his two friends to the hospital. What an incredible story!
