MittLoaf: A mind and/or voice is a terrible thing to lose …
Posted: October 26, 2012 Filed under: open thread | Tags: snark fest, ugly old white men 49 Commentswith apologies to Dan Quayle and the composer of “America the Beautiful”. Listen to this at your own risk. I have perfect pitch so it made me about go up the wall.
If poor old Clint Eastwood’s rant to an empty chair wasn’t enough to let you know that washed-up old white men rock the Romney World, listening to the “music” on that video will do it. Well, okay, Romney does have Lindsey Lohan. I’ll leave that implication to you. Where did this video come from ? CrankFest? (Paging Dr. Drew … Dr Drew…)

“Republican Birth Control: Donald Trump, John #Sununu, Ted Nugent and Meat Loaf.”
Republicans have found a new replacement for birth control and a cure for female heterosexuality. It’s called celebrities that endorse Mitt Romney.
Hey Girl, it’s Meat Loaf, Donald Trump, Chuck Norris, Rush Limbaugh, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent …
The list goes on and on and on … way too long
and so does my need to lose lunch.
If I add any more pictures I’m likely to go on a starvation diet. Wow. What a bunch of guys destined to make you lose your appetite for just about everything. I can only wonder what their poor mothers think.
America may be beautiful, but these guys? Sheesh!

From below “I would do anything I won’t do that”.
I have no idea what he was on but it wasn’t a pretty site. Something tells me that MIttloaf should be in rehab some where. Paging Dr. Drew.
Thanks for sending that to me, Dak, most of the really bad stuff I had are local “Bad Bands” but some people “the bigger names” I am embarrassed for them because they have died and a rock country band that has a big following here in FL. I have to say though, I heard some amazing musicians.
Studio musicians are the best. We’ve got some amazing folks down here. Loren Pickford played the flute on that. I’d originally envisioned him play sax but Richard talked me out of it. He’s amazing. He has a cd out called Elysian Fields that Richard produced that’s just amazing. I wonder if it’s on spotify or someplace. He’s a musician’s musician.
a man who had huge potential – drugged out and destroyed the instrument of his success. Seems to me that’s what all of Romney’s celebrity endorsers did – oh wait, I forgot that horrible sitcom woman with that once funny guy Raymond something.
The decline of Meatloaf has been everlasting, for the last 15 or so years. Now he has to live on his money managers. Perhaps Bain has a hand in that?
And I saw a short clip on MSNBC of that hell today, I almost hurt myself trying to mute it. Dak, you and I are cursed with perfect pitch, have you ever had to listen to bar bands that had good musicians and a lead singer you wanted to stab? After hearing Mittens sing it, he probably thought is was pretty good.
Yup. I also do sound. You should hear some of the raw stuff I’ve heard from studios. Justin Timberlake actually recorded a song that my friend and I wrote back when he was doing his first solo album. It was sooooo off key that I had to leave the studio. The girls were just dying to hear it and then that was it for Justin from then on out. I still have it. There’s a bunch of really famous lead singers that really need good people in sound or they’d be cooked.
Dak, I had a sound studio, I know. I have a list too, But i feel I can’t name names because of being sued.
ah, well, I was just a composer … I feel no need to hide their identities..
I sent you the Beyonce/Destiny’s Child song … only artist that stayed totally true to everything I arranged and wrote.
Don’t feel that way, i was recording country and punk. Now, don’t you feel sorry for me? It’s the reason I got out.
oy, yes, I do … I’ll have to send you my song that Beyonce sang with the final mix. She recorded it exactly as I arrange it and it sounds wonderful. She and Destiny’s Child were great. They split up so that it never got to the market but it was one project that actually was just me with really performers layered on top in the manner that I arranged it. Right down to the rap part.
I have raw Beatles studio and Beach Boys cuts because my producer/composer partner worked with both. He always plays John Lennon outtakes for me when I have to sing the vocal track. He says I’m basically John when I do the first track. That never makes me feel better for some reason.
You have so many great tracks, but I can’t imagine why you would feel bad about John Lennon comparison. My covers and sound a likes were Pat Benatar, Blondie and Stevie Nicks. Nicks was always my personal favorite to do. A lot of people think Nicks is not that great a singer. But I really liked the music and enjoyed emulateing that sound.
Wow, just Wow. I knew you ladies were amazing, but I never realized that you knew famous people as well. It doesn’t surprise me, with all your talents, and it doesn’t surprise me with all the other commenters, but thought I would do a fangirl reaction – after all that mop haired Beiber gets screams, so you two should get a lot more applause – it’s on the talent meter that I have in my brain.
Wow, is right, how I’d like to step out with you ladies………and listen to some music with you. It would be a great pleasure.
Mittloaf……..crack me up.

I missed this, my sister who waits for me to point out stuff, called me today on this one!
I saw that this morning. Hilarious!
Democrats have a sense of humor. Republicans a sense of faux outrage. One is attractive!
That’s a wonderful picture of Trumpty Dumpty. You left out someone who I once lusted after – Randy Owen of Alabama. Heartbroken. Also John Rich (former celebrity apprentice winner) & Trace Adkins.
I can’t listen to C&W. It hurts my ears. Literally.
I can’t stand it, and grew up 25 miles form Nashville, Tn. Thank god my parents hated it. I didn’t know what the Grand Ole Opry was until it was a teenager. Yes i can pick out singers and musicians that are great now but I sure don’t tune in to country.
Ditto
I went through a C&W phase. I miss the Dixie Chicks!
I did like them. I like roots music … love blue grass stuff but most C&W is just murder on my ears.
Alison Krauss? I have to say that I love Patsy Cline. I just love a real twang.
Me too.
You know, sometimes auto tune is a good thing. All I can say is, “What the hell was that?”

Watching a repeat of The Daily Show from last night. Jon summed up the Repugnants stance on if a woman wants a child: IVF – You can’t. Rape: You Must!
Wow Dak, you wrote/composed some songs that have been recorded? Which ones?
Nothing big or I’d own a greek isle by now and be there permanently.
Ha…my daughter was impressed. My mom says you are a like a Renaissance woman.
Congratulations on finding one of the worst photos of Donald Trump I’ve ever seen.
I know, talk about scary ass Halloween pictures! Hey BB, did ya make it to Mama’s!
Tis the season for pictures of HORROR!!!
Cue up “We Take Care of Our Own” to play when Romney loses on Election Night. Max volume!
Although this is my favorite Bruce:
Bruce Cockburn, “Call It Democracy”
Maybe we could win this “war” if we keep up the attack.

This is the snark thread so look at this debate and find the fun!
“Raising tax rates on the rich is both counter-productive and unnecessary to fund the government we want,” said Hubbard.
While steering clear of specifics, Hubbard told the audience at the Intelligence Squared Debate that “higher tax rates won’t necessarily produce enhancements in revenue.”
“We can and should achieve fairness and growth without taxing the rich more than they are today,” he said.

It was altogether fitting that Hubbard’s debate teammate was supply-side snake oil salesman Arthur Laffer.
I can’t stop laughing, not.
He has to be ignoring a ton of research to say that with a straight face.
I’ve seen a lot of straight faces this year!
I can’t decide if Kramer is me if Mittens wins or I hear one more racist dog whistle this year.
….because we entitled rich scumbags will offshore all our accounts.
They took the video off! LOL! Guess all those musicians didn’t want folks to know they can’t sing on tune.

I replaced it … evidently the Meat Loaf folks realize their dude looks like an ass and are trying to destroy the evidence. He’s singing off tune, nearly falling off the stage, and not the least bit in time with the music. Obviously, the man has some kind of issue at the moment but suppression of people’s personal videos is pretty low down to hide his condition … i wonder if he had a stroke and he’s trying to hide it?
oh, wow .. check this out …
It seems that Meatloaf’s tours are typical of what the Romney performance showed. Something’s obviously wrong.
