Meatloaf, aka Michael Aday, aged 74.

Actually he previously died big-time some years ago after being secured for what was an appalling AFL Grand Final performance that lasted just a few songs at a cost of about $50,000 per minute.  Ouch

But RIP fellla.  Bat outa hell.

Meathead was a Trump loving anti-science type so Covid was my first thought. Is that confirmed?

The late rocker Meat Loaf was outspokenly anti-vaccine mandate and anti-mask before his death —  once telling a reporter, “If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled,” according to reports Friday.

The 74-year-old “Bat Out of Hell” singer —  who was reportedly critically ill with COVID-19 before he passed away Thursday — was opposed to pandemic restrictions, slamming lockdowns and mask mandates during an interview last summer.

The Grammy Award-winning musician, whose real name was Marvin Lee Aday, also railed against vaccine mandates in Australia, sources told TMZ.

Meat Loaf, who struggled with asthma and other health conditions, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in August he considered lockdowns “political” and masks “useless” before offering reporter Scott Mervins an embrace.

“I’m happy to give you a hug. I hug people in the middle of COVID,” Meat Loaf said, adding that he refused to live life in fear. 

“I’m sorry, I understood stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they’re stopping because of politics,” he said.

How old was he when at the grand final?
That was stupid right there!
Whoever engaged him is the stupid one.

It was good to hear and recall his hits......
And remember him for those.

Glenn Wheatley loses finger in dog attack


Whenever I hear of a vicious dog attack the first thing that pops into my mind is, bet that's something from the bull family - bull terrier, pit bull, staffordshire bull, whatever.

And my prejudice is almost always confirmed.

You are just lucky a chihuahua cannot bite hard. Many small dog breeds are as aggressive - or even more so - just not as damaging.

Vale Jack Styring OAM

RV_Author

Racing Victoria Staff@RacingVictoria

3:57pm

, (
It is with great sadness that Racing Victoria (RV) acknowledges the passing of Jack Styring OAM, an iconic broadcaster and highly respected stalwart of the Victorian racing industry. 

A much-loved personality on Victorian racetracks for more than 70 years, Jack passed away early this morning less than a week short of his 93rd birthday.

Jack called his first race meeting as a 21-year-old at Kaniva in 1950 and continued right up until his retirement in 2011 where he called his final race meeting at Yea at the tender age of 81.

During his career that spanned more than 60 years, he called at countless tracks throughout Victoria and interstate and also participated in the industry as a journalist, studmaster, breeder and owner.

Amongst his calling achievements are seven Melbourne Cups and a staggering 60 Gunbower Cups from 1952 to 2010 – a feat recognised by the Guinness Book of Records.

In 1992, he was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his services to horse racing as a race caller, broadcaster and journalist.

Jack was also acknowledged as the inaugural recipient of the RV Distinguished Service Award in 2011 which recognised individuals for their outstanding contribution to the sport within Victoria.

RV Chief Executive, Giles Thompson, said: “On behalf of the Victorian racing industry, I would like to extend our heartfelt prayers and condolences to Jack’s family and friends following the sad news of his passing today.

“Jack dedicated his life to racing and is an icon within the sport, entertaining the crowds at our racetracks for over six decades with his colourful commentary.

“He ensured that a day at the races was an enjoyable and memorable experience for generations of fans and he continued to work as a racing journalist into his 90s, still covering the sport that he loved so dearly.

“Jack was a man of outstanding character, a much-loved member of the Victorian racing community and he will be greatly missed by everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him in person or listening to his countless race calls.”
