Exactly. Dude had had FOUR lower back surgeries; once a year starting in 2016 and the first three failed. Finally the fourth alleviated the pain he'd been suffering since the 80s! But the dudes' back was hacked to bits! If you'll pardon the pun, there's only so many times you can cut the same piece of Meat. He'd been oxygen deprived several times throughout his life, had multiple untreated concussions and though it was never reported, I suspect he had a mild stroke sometime in the last 5-8 years. The last interview I saw with him, the left side of his face was a bit droopy and through the course of the interview; he'd begin to slur, realize it.... snap back into normal mode, but then slowly fade back into slurring.

Bless the man, the show went on.

So, and maybe because this is the high profile, well-loved celeb death that we needed. Let's make a positive out of this. Who honestly gives a crap whether you're jabbed or not? A man who brought joy to millions just passed away.... THAT is the topic of discussion, not what he put - or didn't put into his body. People have died from much worse and don't get treated like this.

Enough is enough. Jabbed, unjabbed - purple, yellow, green or orange - we're all human and we're all mortal.

Just revel in the man, the myth and the miracle that was Marvin (Michael) Lee Aday.... a.k.a. "Meatloaf".
Prayers to his family and loved ones.

If only some of us could be HALF the man he was....
