Meatloaf died as an antivaxer? I guess we finally know what "that" is

I didn't get that vibe.  He was (allegedly) surrounded by his family when he died -- that's pretty unusual for covid, unless the patient just refuses to go to the hospital.

also, did anyone really like Meat Loaf? i mean, other than maybe drunkin' karaoke or to earworm torture a friend, did we really lose a bright one? I'm thinking no. Most people under 40 have probably never heard of him. Oh well, moving on.

If you're at a college bar and "Paradise" comes on, every sorority girl in the place will lock arms and sing it.

I thought he did more than just play a part in Rocky Horror Picture Show so I was going to say maybe that for a very small subset of people (mostly a certain type of person in  Gen X and older), but I never really understood that phenomenon either, so yeah, I'm with you.  I have periodically since they passed thought of a Prince or a George Michael or a Kenny Rogers and been sad they died and played one of their songs in tribute.  That won't ever happen for anything he ever did.

Acording to wikipedia Cher is 75 now.  She's not imagining more people of her generation and older within the arts dying.  Covid related or not.   I'm in early 50s and have already noticed it.  Getting older as the inevitable dead end roller coaster approaches its final stop isn't all that fun to think about.

On of my ex girlfriends back in the day loved his shit. Kinda of a large part of why I ended things.

What We Know About COVID and Penis Size as Man Says It Shrunk His Genitals

Anecdotal reports have emerged from men who say their penis has decreased in size after having COVID—but it's uncertain how widespread it is.

The topic was highlighted this week in the How To Do It sexual advice podcast by Slate, in which a man got in contact to say that he had lost "about an inch and a half" of length from his penis after catching COVID.

He added: "It's apparently due to vascular damage, and my doctors seem to think it's likely permanent."

It's not the only such report. A study published in The Lancet medical journal last year looked at over 3,700 people with confirmed or suspected long-term COVID with illness lasting over 28 days. It identified more than 200 potential symptoms from several different areas of the body.

Among them were reports of "decrease in size of testicles/penis," though these were reported in a small minority of respondents—less than 10 percent.

Charles Welliver, a men's health specialist and urologist at Albany Medical College, said on the How To Do It podcast that COVID has been linked to erectile dysfunction, which itself is linked to a decrease in penis size.

"Probably every guy that has significant ED… probably gets some shrinkage. We see that, particularly in guys after they have their prostate out for cancer and have zero erection for 6 to 12 weeks. They all get shrinkage," he said.

Ashley G. Winter, a urologist at the Kaiser Permanente healthcare company, also spoke on the podcast to state that negative effects of COVID on the penis may be to do with something called endothelial dysfunction—a term referring to impaired functioning of the lining of blood vessels.

This relates to the penis and erections because erections are blood flow events. Winter said: "You get hard because a whole bunch of blood moves into your penis and stays there. When those blood vessels are affected, you know, then you can get the erectile dysfunction."

A May 2021 study on COVID and erectile dysfunction published in The World Journal of Men's Health concluded that it had found evidence of COVID-19 in the human penis long after the initial infection had occurred, and suggested that the virus' effect on blood flow in the penis could result in impaired erectile function.

Still, Welliver noted that it is not known exactly how widespread the issue is since the total number of males with COVID is uncertain due to asymptomatic cases.

Conversely, there was a report in 2020 of a man who experienced a long-lasting erection for hours due to a blood clot linked to COVID.

 

So add COVID and LA weather dipping down into the brisk fifties to the list of weenie shrinking events.

Willing to literally die instead of admitting you were wrong.

There are a thousand future PhD dissertations about that phenomenon just waiting to be written.

I’m sorry to hear this for your family.

Isn't there some other metric where you "gain" like an inch for every 30 pounds you lose?  I mean, your dick doesn't actually grow but the lower pelvic fat around it shrinks away, revealing a previously dormant portion of your dick.  I dunno if that's late-night extenze bullshit, but does seem somewhat valid.  Maybe that counteract the inch you lose to Covid?  

Asking for a friend.

Having recently dropped 40 lbs, the answer is "no".

But it is nice to see it again.

I’m 52 and meat loaf was never cool, and I don’t recall anyone my age really liking his music. I think people slightly older than me have the awareness of when bat out of hell was big, but middle-to-end genx? Nah, no one listened or sang any of his music.

to me, his only post-1978 highlight was his part in fight club. Which I think he stole the show with his character. 

is there some millennial love of him that I’m unaware?

He was never big with anyone I don’t think.  Just in the consciousness and if his name wasn’t the comical “Meat Loaf” he’d have been much less relevant.

It sorta makes sense.  Nobody ever wants to believe they were so stupid they actually killed themselves and it was easily avoidable to boot. Much easier to just blame something else on your death bed.

"Hana Horka, 57, was unvaccinated and had posted on social media that she was recovering after testing positive, but died two days later.

Her son, Jan Rek, said she got infected on purpose when he and his father had the virus, so she could get a recovery pass to access certain venues."

he has one of the top 10 (5?) biggest selling albums of all time? can that be right?

It's a really weird thing about Meat Loaf.  He had an album that sold a shit-ton of copies, but I don't actually know anybody that owned a copy, and yeah, I knew the lyrics to a few of his songs, but it was never a situation where somebody came over and was like "hey, put on a Meat Loaf record (or CD later on) and let the whole thing play!"

I think him getting into the movie business (I don't mean Rocky Horror, I mean later on) and the novelty name kept him relevant far longer than he would have been otherwise.

I still can't explain the sales of that album though.

I think Meat Loaf is the musical equivalent of out kicking your coverage.

What if I told you he was doing a Bruce Springsteen parody....in 1977? Punk as fuck, right. 

(He wasn't.)

Like a much shittier version of David Bowie and/or Queen, his music appealed to the drama club crowd. I guess Meat Loaf was the god of drama club music at the short bus schools.

I was in Meat Loaf's target demo when his first album came out. As noted, there were a couple of kids in high school who were really into him, and for the rest of us, he was part of the late-70s ambiance. Pretty sure we had just survived The Great Overplaying of Frampton.

This was when you turned on whichever 3 radio stations you could get, and what they were playing was what you listened to.

I don't have specific memories of his music, it's just the sort of thing I associate with sitting in the car at Sonic, or maybe the bowling alley or the skate place. Kind of like being skinny or having hair, it was just something you assumed would always be that way.

That whole musical comeback in the mid '90s was based on him simply refusing to say what "that" was.

Well, you see, they are disingenuous liars.  Probably in every facet of life.

Never really stuck with me either.  I mean I can watch videos and shows now and see that the guy was vlearly super talented. But it just was not in my parents music mix and so never really entered my consciousness front and center growing up.  And didn't really creep in later.  Seemed too dramatic.
