Strange places to listen Meat and Steinman

[White of High]

I was backpacking around Central and South America in the last 8 years and I noticed, Meat Loaf is unknown here. I was so happy when I heard a few chords from him and all happened in very strange situations and places. Did you hear Meat and Steinman songs in strange places?

Here is my list:

1) 2 years ago I was walking on the market in Antigua Guatemala. From the public toilet I've heard the chords of Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through from Bad For Good. An old lady in traditional clothes was listening it.

2) A few days ago I was walking in a local disco in the jungle village of Taisha, Ecuador. For 20 minutes in a mix I heard Nowhere Fast by Meat.

3) Again in Ecuador, in the town of Machala I heard Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young from Streets of Fire in an eatery.

4) In Belize on a bus from Cayo to Belmopan I've heard Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonnie, but in Spanish. Did Bonnie sing it in Spanish as well?

5) In Santa Ana, El Salvador I was in a local pub with a few local youngsters. After a few beer we started to talk about rock music. After Bon Jovi, Guns, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen a guy told me: "But the best songwriter ever is Jim Steinman".

I was shocked always because in Latin America people don't listen rock musicand if they listen, it's only Bon Jovi and Guns...

I listened to Meat Loaf and The MSO through the headset of an MRI Scanner two years ago.

HMV in Gloucester played the Guilty Pleasure Tour CD a fair few times when it was released in store....normally they only play stuff like Rihanna, Lady Gaga & the like so it was really weird. Except for that I've never actually heard Meat Loaf's music played anywhere except on my iPod/laptop, my nans house or at a concert :lol:.

I'd have put money on the O2 arena being the most unlikely ... But not only did we hear it. It sold out.
