The wait is over. After almost twenty years of wondering, the stomach tearing question is answered... The one thing Meatloaf wouldn't do for love was...

before we go into that, I think we should examine the history of the Meatloaf, so as to better understand his decision making.

OK, maybe we don't have to indulge ourselves in the history of the man. Maybe we can just use some brain power and guess. Lots of food, toothless fat roadies, and THAT!

Something obviously scared Meatloaf stiff. Like he was overcooked, or had turkey substitute. We will never know, all we do know, now, is what THAT is.
