I wonder what pedro thinks!

Forget sales numbers, I have my own criteria.
 
The list of albums everybody liked except me is quite long, and includes Bat Out of Hell. However, back in the day my band covered almost the entire album.  The material was fun to play, audiences ate it up, and "Two Out of Three" got me laid more than once. As did "Mandy" and "Bridge over Troubled Water".
 
We also covered "Nutrocker" by Bee Bumble and the Stingers, which impressed other musicians but never once got me anywhere with a barmaid.

I wonder what pedro thinks!

I'm fine with the first album, as is just about everyone. The second ... I don't know. Maybe a few more listens will wake me up or something.
 
Fun reading, if you never have, is Meatloaf's book, as a sort of autobiography. It has a lot of fun things, but I'm not sure many folks appreciate his acting side of the work he does. He says ... he's an actor that sings ... 

pedro would be a good character in campy productions.  

I have never listened to it. It was a bit dated when I started to listen to music other than my parent's collection.  He had his big comeback a few years later, but it did not appeal to me.
 
It is kind of odd to think that I went through life without hearing a single not off of an album that sold so many millions of copies.
 
But then, I've never seen Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter either...

Not a good actor at all, although my old age would probably cheat and make an old man look good on stage?
 
I'm a better director than actor. I can help the actors be better, and present themselves better and more efficiently. Btw, "campy" is not my style ... one of the bes reviews I ever got, was for having an actor play a dog, and "be a dog", in the show and it got an incredible review ... how did I prepare with the actor? Easy ... we went outside at UCSB campus and watched that dog and that dog and that dog ... and we want that done, and that,, and that and that.
 
It was all there on the stage between all the lines!
 
So I cheat! Hey ... those actors all got an "A" and I got known as the director that could get magic out of the actors ... and how I did it was the most fun and least academic style of it all. It's a shame that I can not do this with a band ...

That's amazing.
 
So, you got an actor to pretend to be a dog, after getting him to look at dogs.
 
Quite extraordinary.
 
 
 
 

So, what do you think James?  Should we get Pedro to look at normal posts about music?

Or to translate so Pedro's acting chum can understand, "Woof woof growl bark yap yap yelp"

 
 
The "yelp" is where I kicked him right up the arse.
