Get Well Meat Loaf Webathon

[MBrevard]

Hi, friends! Well, this is, indeed, a very worrisome time for all of us out here! Much too long without news of Meat and what's happening with him right now.

I hurt inside for all of you who were there on Monday to witness what happened. I wasn't there to see it, so it is not etched in my eyes or in my brain in that way. But enough of my dear friends from this forum were right there toward the front and because of them and their stories and the photos I have seen so far, it is forever etched in my heart!

I feel so bad for Meat and what he has been going through--not just now, but for most of this tour, which has been plagued with problem after problem. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be doing your best, giving all you have, in front of thousands of people and to finally know that you have no more to give. It makes me cry.

I feel so bad for those of you who have missed concerts; those of you who are still waiting and wondering if yours will be postponed as well.

I heartily agree with Icwuke and Sin and those of you who are working toward MOS's success in the UK. I've been trying to do my bit from here by sending out emails and purchasing my own copy. It would be a lovely 'gift' to give Meat at this time--to get the song played AND purchased!

In addition to all this happening with Meat and everyone here, my second oldest dog (nearly 14) was just diagnosed with a cancerous tumor and I am trying to deal with that, as we get ready for her upcoming surgery on December 4th.

So, I have to admit my heart has been torn in all directions this past week!! It's been a down time!

But most of you who know me, understand that I am a great believer in the power of the positive--Positive thoughts, prayers, meditations--it goes by so many names--whatever it is that YOU want to call it.

And I have never believed it more than I do right now. I believe there is more that we, here at the forum, can do to help Meat at this time, while we wait for what lies ahead for him and for us!

So, with R.'s kind indulgence, I would like to make the rest of today a Get Well Meat Loaf Webathon here in this thread. What I'd like to do is spend the day with all of you, sharing and enjoying Meat at the various times and stages in his life. Everyone is welcome to add to this thread in a positive way with photos, stories, articles, get well wishes, or just talk about what other people are sharing--whatever you want to share--these are just suggestions of possibilities.

And with this, I have one favor to ask: Every time today that you come to this thread to read or see or hear something new, or to add something of your own, please take a moment to send a prayer, thought, wish--whatever it is you choose to do in whatever way you choose to do it--in Meat's direction.

If you have other Meaty friends or have contact with other Meaty fans, please invite them here today to be a part of this. The more people sending positive vibes his way today, the better!!

And perhaps, we will be lucky enough to hear some good news in the course of the day and we can celebrate that together! I know that is everyone's hope!!

As for my part, I'm sort of doing this on the fly today, as we go along, so I'm not going to be posting new things on any kind of regular basis--just as I get them done. And I hope you all will continue to stop by during the day to see what's new and to be an active part in this.

Okay. Are we ready to get going? I'm going to kick off our GET WELL WEBATHON with one of our favorites (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw1.html)! Hope you enjoy it and I hope that this will be a good, positive day for us here and most of all, that your thoughts and prayers and wishes will make their way to Meat and help him in his struggle to be well and strong again!! But it can only be so, if you all participate. Let's make this a special day in which we work toward this same goal together!!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!

Sending love to each and every one of you, http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/redrose.gif

Dear, dear MB,

We have been through a lot, these past months. Good times (a lot of them fortunately) and also some really bad times.
I read you comments about Dottie and ofcourse couldn't agree more. But you also have the same qualities, my dear friend.
And I truly hope your precious dog will be allright.

I had planned to promote MOS today. But right now, I think it is better to listen to Heaven for a few times...and just cry. Monday was very emotional.

Ofcourse this is not the first time I cried since Monday. Just listening to this beautiful version made me very emotional, I better just cry for a bit.
Then 'get up from the ground' and make these phonecalls...thank you!

We are all in the same boat here, news about Meat's health is what we want. I pray it will be good news!

On Vacation

Thought I'd lost him for a while,
his face I could not see,
Then from over the waves I heard
him reaching out to me.
Along the sands beside the shore,
above the cliffs so sheer,
He was beside me all the time,
unseeing, yet so clear.
Watching the tides go back and
forth with sand between my toes,
His voice still reeling in my head
why, GOD only knows.
I'm trapped inside a silken cage
in a web so subtly spun, and
even though ther is no escape,
I have no desire to run.
I've found heaven here on earth
even though I get no rest,
And in this place
I'll willingly stay,
C'os MEATLOAF is the BEST.

Maybe these words 'thought I'd lost him for a while, his face I could not see, then from over the waves I heard him reaching out to me' will bring some comfort to the fans on here who have all been affected by the events of this week. Our prayers go out to Meat in the hope that soon he will back where he belongs within this community.

That was a night to remember
and one I will never forget.
The lights, the crowd,
we're all waiting,
But there ain't no sign
of you yet.


the beat of the drums,
keyboards and guitars,
and the thrill as you walk
On the stage,
Your voice resounding
throughout the place,
The band is at last on
the rampage.

Bad Attitude, Dead Ringer for love
Midnight at the Lost and Found,
You fill our senses with your rock and roll,
As zest and vitability abound.

The girls shine like pearls
in the light,
Your back is steaming with sweat,
And we are all going wild,
clapping and singing,
Because we haven't seen
half of it yet.

The band plays all those
memorable tunes,
Our spirits are high in laughter
and song,
As you stand on the edge,
just a few feet away,
Hands reach out to touch,
but then you have gone.

Every note is played
to perfection,
The air is electric,
silver sparks are flying,
Piece of the Action and
Modern Girl,
But the firey embers are slowly dying.

As the evening draws to a close
You return in a golden shirt,
to sing with all your might
Two out of Three ain't Bad
and Bat out of Hell,
What a way to end the night.

'Feelings'

with thanks to Ruth Roberts M/No 430

First heard his voice in a crowded place,
Knew not his name nor his face,
And all the world around me faded,
As into my life he invaded.

His voice it blew my mind,
A stronger drug I've yet to find.
I was more addicted and needed more,
More, to fill me to the core.

He comes to me in the dead of the night,
I hear his vocals but cannot fight
This awesome power that takes it toll,
Over my body, my heart, my soul.

Then I knew what I had to do,
Tread the paths of the chosen few.
From today and into tomorrow,
He will lead and I will follow.

So now I have a link with others,
Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers,
And even though he's miles away,
I now feel his presence near each day.

He could a mere mortal take over me.
He's not a god, so why do we
Crave more, more and more I say,
For the voice of MARVIN LEE ADAY

Sentiments echoed by everyone of us on this site. May our love and prayers speed along the highway of the life, to Meat in our wish to hear his wonderful voice again, and to see his presence back where it belongs on stage, enthralling us all.

[MBrevard]

Oh, what beautiful additions to this thread already!!

Thank you, Rosie!!! I'm so glad you're here!!!

Yes, Mariella, I expect there will be more than a few tears shed throughout the day, not only by those who witnessed Monday's concert, but by the rest of us, as well, who love the man dearly and are so worried for him!!

But this is good!! Good to get them out. Every tear that escapes is one that we do not have to keep buried inside!! Let them flow!!

Just as I am hoping those positive thoughts and feelings are flowing toward Meat!! We have already had more than 80 people come through here, so that's 80+ little prayers for his recovery and well-being!!

Dottie, oh, sweet Dottie!! Thank you for those beautiful poems!! So many of us do not have access to those early issues and it's a joy to see some of what was in them!! Thank you for taking the time to type all that out!! And they are SO appropriate for now!!!

I think we are off to a wonderful start, don't you?!!

Are you ready for the second WEBATHON special? Well, here it is. (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw2.html) Some of these you may have seen before, but if you're like me, you never get tired of watching or listening to Meat!!

Enjoy!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!!

Keep the love flowing... http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/butter3c.gif

I don't have any verses or poems to post but I'd just like to add my best wishes for Meat to get well soon.

Hope that's OK.

Dottie,
In newsletter 11 (or so) 1987 there is also a story from Ruth Roberts with lines from For Crying out loud. I am at work now so i cannot put it here. :cry:

[Jayd]

I am not great either with poems, but would like to say, Meat, you have brought a great deal of hapiness in my life, when I listen to your music, I drift away to another place which is a magical. Your music means so much to me. So please, before continuing with the tour, get your self better first. Even if it means cancelling the tour, I am sure not single one of your fans will mind. All we want to see is you a feeling a lot better than you feel at present. Get Well Very Soon, we all love ya and all the best. :D

[Bart]

Last nite at the gym i talked to an old friend of mine. He started the conversation about Meat Loaf in the hospital. He was at the NOTP he said. He said the NOTP really sucks UNTIL Meat Loaf came on stage. He said that he really rocked the house there and he liked his performance very much. And remember: he is not a fan at all.
It really made me proud last nite and i have never been so active in the gym! :lol:

A collegue of mine was also at the notp and so was my mother in law. They both have said the same thing about NOTP. They thought it was mindblowing.

[Debbi V]

I don't have anything close to the beautiful things that all of you have posted so far. But, I'd like to make a little contribution to the effort.

I received this from a friend during a difficult time in my life and I'd like to pass the sentiment on to Meat.

Moments In Life

There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one,
which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

I hope this message touches the heart of just one person out there and encourages them to keep going. Life is just too short to sweat the small stuff. It's OK - pout a little at life's trials, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and keep going. Something wonderful is waiting.

With much affection to all - Debbi V

[Dark Lady]

You have been my constant companion for such a very long time
Your songs touch my very soul,
You lift me when I am down,
And I know you are always around.

My God be with you
And may YOU stay forever young.

Bart do you mean 'Feelings' I posted it above

[mariella]

Thank you for the all beautiful poems!
...Debbi V...'mission accomplished...Thank You!

Will continue to pray for Meat's health.
Last night a dear friend of mine said she felt Testify was like a prayer...going to listen to that one!

Mariella

[MBrevard]

Oh, friends! This is amazing! I'm not sure I'm going to make it through the day--so many of you have already gotten me to cry!! Beautiful thoughts and poems.

And please, don't be afraid to join in this thread!! If you don't have a poem, that's fine! If you don't have a story to share! That's okay, too!

All this WEBATHON is about is sending positive thoughts and wishes to Meat all day long. So, if all you want to do is say, "Get Well, Meat," and do that in your own words and from your heart, then that's perfect!! This is something any and all of us can do!!

When I started this post, we have already had over 170 people here. Meat has GOT to be feeling the warmth by now!! :bunny:

Mariella, you and I have always felt the same about "Testify"!! I think we always will. There's just something very special about this song!!

So, here it is for everyone, from a recent performance. (http://www.conubic.com/sounds/Testify.mp3) Enjoy it, dear friends!!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!

Keep the love flowing to Meat, http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/heartjewel.gif

ThANKS MEAT LOAF-accident victim's touching message

A teenage accident victim has recorded a touching message of thanks to the rockstar who helped rescue him from the brink of death.

Craig H. sank into a deep coma after an horrible motorbikecrash and his chansec of survival looked bleak until heavyweight singer Meat Loaf sent a special "get well"tape to him.

(...)

His mother said: "i never thought he would walk again and allthough i don't think he will ever be the same, He has improved a lot. He has always been a great fan of Meat Loaf and i am sure that the message helped him out of his coma.

(..)
A spokeswoman from Arista said: Meat Loaf was very touched at the time and wanted to do everything he could do to help Craig. He will be over the moon that he was able to make a small contribution to the boy's recovery.

[sherrie87]

MB, what a great idea- thanks for starting this thread. At my church, we pray for missionaries on their birthday- many of them say that they feel so much strength on that day that they save challenging projects for that day. This message is similar to that for Meat, I think- all this positive energy and love must help him somehow.

Meat is such a big part of my life, a reassurance in bad times, a wake up call each morning as I drive to work, a friend celebrating with me as I return home from work each day. (Oops, I was playing Paradise from the Storytellers CD so loud yesterday I was shaking the windows of my car and attracting the attention of my neighbor who is a local policeman! :oops: ) I feel helpless with him in hospital so far away, but I will send up a prayer each time I check this topic today, and I know that will help.

Bless you, Meat- we care about you so very much and just want the best for you.

Sherrie

[Bigmomma]

ho mb, trust me to log on to this right now and not at home, they well
and truley think i am crazy in here now, i am sat in the library, with
tears dripping down my cheeks and couldnt care less.
meat is one thing that has kept me going for years, and well i will put more on when i get home, unfortunately i cant look at all the wonderfull links but i will on a proper computer later.....
sorry about the little dog mb, they can do great things these days .
i hope he is okay.
kezzina

[MBrevard]

Hi again! Thank you, Bart, Sherrie and Kezzina!! We've now had over 215 people come by here so far today! That's a lot of positive love going his way!!

I was saving these for the "Girls" topic, since I am a very proud member of SGAS, :D but I think I'll share them here. This is the time to be thinking of Meat and one good way is through his photos.

First one--can anyone name the year of this photo? Love the guitar! This isn't the same one he was using on this tour, though, was it??

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/UKguitar.jpg


Next up, I've got one that I believe is from the Bad Attitude Tour (if I'm wrong, please correct me!)

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/battitude.jpg


And I saved the best for last: He IS gorgeous in this photo!!!

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/hunky.jpg


Please keep the love and positive thoughts flowing all day!! http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/anisprk.gif

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!

Love to you all,

Meat,

You've been such an endless light in our lives.
If you let us, we'll be ephemeral sparks in yours.


We'll always be there for you.
We testify.

[aussielovesmeat]

Meat, I sure hope you are feeling better soon !!!
Someone gave me this poem, I don't know who wrote it, but it expresses my feelings.

big hugs
Kaye

Get Well Our Friend

You helped us all so many times,
To find strength to carry on.
Many days you encouraged us,
When we thought our smiles were gone.
We know you're having hard times,
We are all right here for you.
We will keep sending thoughts and prayers,
To warm and comfort you.
We are grateful for your friendship,
We wish we could do more,
Well wishes are our gift to you,
That's what friends are for.
Please Get Well Soon and know that we won't forget you!

[MBrevard]

Ah, beautifully said, Lost Soul! So nice to have you with us now!!

And Kaye, I really liked that poem!!! It's perfect for the occasion!! I don't know where you guys are finding all these poems, but they're lovely!!

Well, friends, over 280 ML fans have passed this way so far!! I know Meat has GOT to be feeling the love by now!!!

Ready for WEBATHON Special #5?? This is one I know you've all seen before (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw3.html), but it's such a beautiful love song, you just never get tired of it!!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!

Keep those positive thoughts and prayers coming, friends, http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/bluedaisy.gif

[meatmymainman]

Cool idea, Mbrevard. I also try to be a postive thinker. And it seems to help me in my life.

I dont have anything special to add here no poem or anything. But I do love Meat Loaf and I want him to get better. I want him to come back to the US sometime and do more concerts here.

But first he has to get over this flu or infetion or whatever it is he has.

Ill be sending you my positive thoughts all day today Meat! We miss you and want you back safe and sound. :D

[Bart]

I am gonna say it again. My daughter is almost 4 years old and she knows all the words now from DIST and she is learning the words for CHSIB. And she likes the way you kissed Thomas Gottschalk.
If you are still doing concerts after the next 2 years. I am gonna take her with me to a concert of you. She already wanted to go with me to Trier and Oberhausen 8) :lol: :D

[MBrevard]

Hey, Meatmymainman! Nice to see you again! Glad to hear you are a positive thinker, too!! I believe we need more of us in this world!!

Hi, Bart! Thanks for coming back again! That must be absolutely adorable to see a 4-year-old singing DIST!! I would LOVE to hear it sometime!! :D It's a shame she wasn't old enough yet to go to the concerts this year! But Meat has always loved performing in your country and in Germany, so I'm sure he will be back there for the occasional concert--since he's not doing World Tours, anymore!!

A big thank you for the nearly 330 kind folks who have stopped by here already to either verbally or silently wish Meat well today!! Hope you are all enjoying this thread and the things that everyone has added to it so far!! And more than that, I hope Meat is feeling the message!!

Ready for the next WEBATHON Special? Okay, here it comes. (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw4.html) A song we don't often hear Meat sing live! Enjoy!!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!

I recently saw you wrote 'I am so proud to be a Meat Loaf-fan'...so am I!

MB, thank you for the words of love and wonderful clips.
I too, am sure Meat will feel this somehow.

We just had the news tomorow's show has also been postponed. Very good, gives him more time to recover.
This waiting is very hard, but I continu to send all my love to Meat.
Thank you all for making the waiting a little easier.

Mariella

[MBrevard]

Thank you, Mariella! Yes, the waiting for news is getting more and more difficult. But at least we know Meat is in good and capable hands. And he's just gotten another day of rest with the next concert cancelled. So, that is good news for him! And that's why we're here doing this today, in hopes of helping him feel better or heal faster!!

I agree. Watching and listening to Meat always makes the time go faster!! I have a feeling that unless Meat's management comes through and gives a statement, we might have to wait another day for news. It's getting too late for anything to come out of the hospital and the folks there! So, come on, 10th Street, make our day!! What's the latest report??!!!

Continued thanks to the over 380 people who have stopped by this thread so far today and sent some love in Meat's direction! Hope to keep this going for several more hours!

Here comes WEBATHON Special #8. (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw5.html) You may have seen this one before, but it's such a great song--whoever gets tired of it?! Hope you enjoy it.

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!

[Kathy]

MB, this is such a nice thing you are doing. It's hard for us because since we haven't heard any news, we worry. You've given us a place to come and hug each other, as well as Meat. Dottie and Debbi V, the poems are very nice - and if you don't mind me stealing a line from one of them:

Meat, you make my heart smile!

Love,
-Kathy

[amethyst]

Great thread you have running here and wonderful to read peoples thoughts and poems.

Meat Loaf, when you read these I hope you realise how much we love you and want you to get better, there are so many songs that mean so much to me at different stages in my life but most of them are sung by you.

Love and strength

amethyst xx

[MBrevard]

Ah, Amethyst and Kathy, thank you SO much! I'm glad you're both here and a part of this little project!! It's each of you who joins in who makes this thread special--that, and Meat, of course!! :P !!

I have to admit, I've been working on this stuff all night and was starting to get a little sleepy. But your kind words perked me right up again and I'm good to go for a few more hours! :wink:

Let's see where we're at! Over 430 ML fans have taken a peek at this thread so far and hopefully, at the same time, have sent their personal wishes and healing thoughts to Meat! I think we're doing really good here, considering it was a workday!! :D

Got something special for you this time. (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw6.html) I can't remember, but I may have shared this with you for another occasion, but it's something you hear so rarely that it's worth a second listen (or third, fourth...)

Hope you like it.

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!

HI EVERYONE GREAT IDEA :!:

I just hope this sounds o.k if not sorry but it came from the heart :!:


Please Meat loaf take care of yourself.


A mighty star called Meat Loaf from the state of Texas he came,to sing for all his comerades and to let them share in his fame, on the Euro leg of his tour he was stricken by a bug,but he loves his fans so much he risks his health rather than give up.


The fans they all are silent as they travel near and far,for they worry about the health of Meat Loaf their bright and shining star, so Marvin Lee please take care you mean so much to us. us true fans will stand behind you no matter what

So May god bless you always Meat Loaf

Wolfy (BILLY)

[Marianne]

Mb thank you that you want to share this with us. This is a great thread.

My thougts goes out to the many fans who where there on monday. I can imagine that was very hard to see.

But this a possitive thread and I really hope that Meat is feeling better right now and takes care of his health. I know that how longer it takes before we'll get some news about Meat the more we'll get worried. But overhere we are saying "No news is good news" Let's hope for that. And we are all here together to make the waiting a little less harder.

Meat if you read this " I'll treasure your love, I'll never want to loose it"

Get well very soon.

Marianne.

[Bigmomma]

hi i am back, just read the lovely poems and nearly burst in to tears again with all the lovely words,haven't looked at the special links yet
as i am just through the door, meat you have helped me in so many
ways,with my fight against asthma, i was playing you when i gave birth to my children, coming to see you spurred me on with my panic disorder,
( yeah MB, i finally got the courage to say it :wink: ) cos i knew i would
have to be in a big crowd in a field and travel, it scared the hell out of
me just thinking it, but i managed because i wanted to fetch my daughter
to see you, and i managed it, seeing you their on the stage i sobbed like
an idiot,as i hadn't thought i would ever get to see you in a live show
again, and meat you were brilliant.
when you collapsed in Berlin was bad enough, but we knew soon after
you were okay.
monday i didn't sleep all night, tuesday i was playing forever young, burst
in to tears, and when it came on that you where taken in an ambulance that was it, so please meat their are countless people with stories like
mine and you are so special to each and everyone of us that you wouldn't belive it, you don't need to worry about our loyalty, you have been my
one and only hero for 23 years and wether people are new fans or old
fans they love you forever and a day.

Love of your music
brings us all together here
and that love that we all share
is sent to you now.
Each and everyone of us cares.
We all have that special song
or memory
that we hold dear
above the rest.
To us you're the best.
We love the way you sing and act
and all the things you do.
You touch the lives of so many
simply by being
you.

[ChrissybabezNI]

I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be;

I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;

I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;

I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon.

I'm wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you've strewn along my way;

And could I have one wish this year,
this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.


Get Well Soon Meat. Thinking Of You

[MBrevard]

What beautiful poems!! Thank you, Bren and Chrissy!! There are a LOT of talented people here at the forum!! I've often wondered if talented people draw talented people to them. Or is the opposite--those who do not feel talented are drawn to those who are??

Sorry. My mind moves in odd directions sometimes. Guess y'all know that by now! :oops:

We're quickly coming up on 600 people who have walked this path and helped to send Meat a positive greeting in one way or another!! Continued thanks to everyone.

We're also coming up on the next WEBATHON Special--this one is #10. (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw8.html)

A little song to help the time pass...Doesn't look good for getting any Meaty news today. But maybe when we all come here in the morning, there will be some!!

In the meantime, let's keep sending good vibes in his direction!! This song is sure to get your feet moving!! 8)

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!

Hi, friends. Gotta quick question. I just heard from someone that they couldn't get the last link to work for them. I tested it a moment ago and it's working fine for me. If anyone else is having problems, please let me know. I'm trying to figure out what's going on.

Thanks!!

Love,

[LostSoul]

Ah, beautifully said, Lost Soul! So nice to have you with us now!!

And Kaye, I really liked that poem!!! It's perfect for the occasion!! I don't know where you guys are finding all these poems, but they're lovely!!

Well, friends, over 280 ML fans have passed this way so far!! I know Meat has GOT to be feeling the love by now!!!

Ready for WEBATHON Special #5?? This is one I know you've all seen before (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw3.html), but it's such a beautiful love song, you just never get tired of it!!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!

Keep those positive thoughts and prayers coming, friends, http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/bluedaisy.gif
as our GET WELL MEAT LOAF WEBATHON continues!!

Love to all,
MB

MB,

thank you for the compliment.
But I would like to say thank you to you because what you've been doing right here for a couple of days now deserves my total admiration.

There's nothing we can do for Meat except supporting him with words.
We all wish him to get well soon... nothing else matters!

[MBrevard]

Hi, Lost Soul!! I'm SO glad you came back! Thank you for your very kind words!!

You are right! There is nothing any of us can do for Meat right now, but to send him our love and let him know, in whatever ways we can, that we're here for him, that we support him no matter what!! And that's what we're going to continue to do, as well as being excited about Meat's new site almost ready to open up!!! That was good news for the day--not the news we were looking for, but still...!!

Everybody ready for WEBATHON Special #11?? It's coming right up. (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw9.html) Hope you enjoy it. Forgot to look at how many kind souls have been into this thread so far. Have to check it next time.

Keep the love flowing!! http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/flowersc.gif

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!

Love to you all,

[Testify]

this is great! thanks MB!!!! hehehe u is 8) :P

[Bigmomma]

thought i had managed to join the new meatloaf site just before and it
was a mailing list before the web site is up! oh well, your webathon is
going great MB, and the poems are brilliant, so heartfelt, and they really
get you right their do you know what i mean?
keep flicking to oifc but their was no news last time i checked so it looks like it is tomorrow.
love you all
kezzina

[MBrevard]

Testify!! Hi there, hun!! Great to have you here! Glad you're enjoying the thread and I KNOW you have been sending Meat lots of positive thoughts over the past several days!!

Sorry that your concert was postponed, though!! But I'm sure, in time, it will be rescheduled!! :? We've just gotta get Meat back on his feet again!! But I think that's going to take a little time!!

No, Kezzina! There WAS an update on the OIFC, as promised. They said that Meat is still in the hospital having more tests done. That the concert tonight was cancelled (we already knew that) and no further decisions had been made about the rest of the tour. That was it! That was their update!

Talk about being vague!! Well, we're keeping positive here!!! That's the only way to go right now!!

Love to everyone,
MB

[Bigmomma]

we knew that yesterday!!! i can't remember which thread it was on
but that was on here, i thought it was going to be NEW news, (good job
no one can see me now cursing and shouting at the ceiling) oh what a downer.
kezzina goes on a rant mummbling and chunnering to herself.... :evil:
thanks for telling me MB, that saves me running back and forth like a :roll: uummph

[Woman of Steel]

There is nothing any of us can do for Meat right now, but to send him our love and let him know, in whatever ways we can, that we're here for him, that we support him no matter what!! And that's what we're going to continue to do, as well as being excited about Meat's new site almost ready to open up!!! That was good news for the day--not the news we were looking for, but still...!!
So frustrating to live in the US...so far away with no updates!!! I hope Meat is out of the hospital soon, hopefully knowing how much everbody here loves him will cheer him up some!! It's so nice to know that he has the support of so many!!! And people that I know say nobody loves Meat but me!! The big man will not stay down, he will rise again...and maybe tour some more in the US...and maybe in NC, where I live. I can always dream!! I stink at poetry, so I can't come up with a poem. Maybe I will be graced with a brief period of talent.

[Woman of Steel]

Here it is: The worst poem ever written, but I shall post it.

If I could have one wish
I'd let you know someway
And all the joy and gladness
That you have sent my way
You mean as much to me
As any friend I've ever known
Your voice is a light in the dark
For all the troubled times I've known
I wish I could repay you
For everything you've done
Despite what anybody says
You're always number one

Thinking of you

I know it's bad, but it's the best I could do. (Pitiful, isn't it?) I know.

[Bigmomma]

woman of steel, how can you think that is bad it is lovely, it
really is so...warm and feeling, straight from the heart.
kezzina

[Woman of Steel]

It is straight from the heart...but I could have done a better job if I could write well!! Grr... Thank you for the compliment, anyway, Bigmomma.

[Bigmomma]

woman of steel, honestly it looks well enough written to me, it is the
words that matter, really take a compliment for what it is and don't put your self down, it is great.
better than a lot i have seen in them cards for all occasions.
kezzina

[Golden Girl]

Don't mind WOS...she's just like that. Always has been, always will be. You're fighting a losing battle there.

[MBrevard]

I agree, Kezzina! Not only did I like the poem, but I liked your first words, Woman of Steel. They moved my heart!! So, as Kezzina says, don't put yourself down. You have the ability to express yourself quite well!! And I thank you very much for adding to this thread today, as we're coming up on the end of our WEBATHON in a little while.

Hi, Golden Girl. Yeah, I know. It's a very hard habit to break, isn't it?!! It's hard to build that confidence, if you just don't feel it inside! Talk about the power of the positive, huh?!! :roll:

Well, we have had over 700 people stop by this thread today to wish Meat all the best in their own ways! Now THAT's powerful!!

And this is going to be my last update to this Get Well Meat Loaf Webathon. My brain is dying from lack of sleep. :roll:

But I may have saved the best for last!!

Let's see about Special #12! (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw10.html) Know everyone will like this one!!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!

Keep the positive thoughts coming, friends!

Please continue to add to this thread as you have positive things to say to Meat! The topic isn't closing; I'm just closing down my small portion of it for now! :D

Thanks again to all of you for being a special part of this. It's always a pleasure and a privilege to spend the day with all of you!!

Love to each and every one of you,

recovery, and thankyou for putting this on today and R for allowing it.
hope you your self have good news over the little dog in december.
best wish's
kezzina

[Kathy]

Yes, thanks MB, and get some sleep - you know, that's probably exactly what Meat's doing - isn't it past midnight in England now? Makes me feel better to know he's probably snoozing away, getting slowly better :)
Take care all.
-Kathy

[angel eyes]

Thank you MB for starting off a wonderful thread.

I am sorry to hear about your dog and hope the outcome is good - I will be thinking of you.

Dearest Meat

Your music has touched me in a way no other can or ever will. I have both laughed and cried to your music. You really touch my soul. You are so special to us all which is why all these messages of love and good wishes are being sent to you.

Your ears must be on fire by now :D

Get well soon.

All my love

[BadAttitude]

Meat it has been awhile but I found my way back to. You have unknowlinglly been there for me many times with your music and have made a profound difference in my life.

My life has been crazy for the last 6 years been through alot of hard times and alot of pain, I turned away from life and friends and family for awhile but I never turned away from your music, your music has been a shinning light in a world of darkness for me.


I have been a fan since 1978, the first time I heard you was driving around listening to the radio and this singer named Meat Loaf came on and his voice blew me away. I have been a fan since then and my daughter and I went to two of your concerts in 1995 and had the time of our lives. I love you Meat have for the last 25 years and will till the end of time.

Even though you have no way of knowing how much you and your music mean to me I remember the day that I received Meat Loaf the Collection Cd from a friend in South Africa that I could not find in the USA. The main reason I wanted the cd so bad was to hear you sing "Stand My Me" and when I heard that song my tears started to flow, tears of happiness, your voice was like hearing an angel sing.

The words of the song that mean so much to me I want to say to you:

When the night has come and the land is dark.
And the moon is the only light you see,
No, I won't be afraid,
No, I won't be afraid ,
Just as long as you stand by me.

Meat you stood by me even though you didn't know it but the words that you sang in that song helped me climb out of the darkness into the light.

Meat I will always stand by you.

Please take some time to let your body heal and to get well.
And don't worry all of your fans will stand by you!!!!!

Love & Happiness
Autumn (BadAttitude)

That is very well said and extremely heart felt. Thank you for sharing that Autumn :D

MB, Thank you so much for all these wonderful clips.
Hopefully Meat is resting and enjoying all the positive vibes that are being sent his way :D

[sherrie87]

Thanks MB, I just spent the last hour and a half enjoying all the "webathon specials". It made for an excellent evening! It also really reminded me even more just how special Meat and his music are to me. I send all my good wishes and positive thoughts his way, he deserves to feel healthy again soon!

Sherrie

[MBrevard]

Hi! Well, I finally managed to get a little sleep!! When younger, I used to be able to go for days without it. Alas, those days are no longer with me!! :roll:

Just wanted to thank those of you who have continued with this thread. If Meat is still in the hospital, needing more testing to be done, then we still need to continue to send him all our prayers and positive thoughts and wishes for his renewed good health!!

So, I hope, that during the next few days, you will add a little something to this thread to keep the love flowing in his direction!!

Thanks again, friends, we are well over 800 people so far here. That's a lot of good feelings and wishes going in Meat's direction!!

FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!

Love to you all,
MB

ps. The clips will stay online for a short time--probably the next several days--and then, they will be removed. So, please continue to enjoy them while they are here!! :D

Sorry I missed this yesterday. Thank you mbrevard. I am enjoying all the specials and poems and everything that people have written. It made me feel good to come here and see this. I have been very worried about Meat Loaf.

Fire Ball I have already been sending you my prayers for good health since I heard you were sick. Please get well and do not come back to work until you are feeling healthy again.

Thank you again mbrevard. Great thread. Really needed this.

Hi MBrevard, A very big thank you for this Webathon, It's very comforting to come here and see all the out pouring of love and prayers for Meat.

One would hope that very soon Meat himself will be able to come here, and see for himself, all the love we fans on this forum have for him.

[Terri]

It's very comforting to come here and see all the out pouring of love and prayers for Meat.
Thank you MB for this great thread.
It's such a worrying time for us all, not knowing how he's doing and it's great that we can all come together here.

Meat,
For most of my life your music has seen me through the good times and the bad. Never has there been a better pick me up than listening to one of your songs.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and wish you a real speedy recovery!
Terri X
One would hope that very soon Meat himself will be able to come here, and see for himself, all the love we fans on this forum have for him.
That would be so Great 8)

Thank you MB for this Webathon. That was wonderful idea. I´d like to say that I am sorry to hear about your dog. We got Saint Bernhard but it died two years ago but I hope that your dog going to be alright.

Wow! You guys are the best!!!!!!

I was away from my computer for the last part of the morning and I came back to find all your beautiful messages, not only for Meat (hey, we're well over 1000 people coming here!! :up: ), but for me and my Chapter Two!

You made me cry today!! :oops: But...good and happy tears! It's so very nice to have people in your life who care that much. You know from some of my earlier postings that I have lived a very isolated life of late, so these are things I never take for granted. They stay close to my heart! And I'm sure, if Meat were to read all your wonderful messages to him, he would feel exactly the same!! :!:

I had wanted to share a small photo of Chappie, but have been trying to figure out a way to stay on topic and still do this. :roll:

Okay, here goes:


http://www.conubic.com/real/graphics/ChapterTwo.jpg

Hi! I wanted to wish Meat well, too.
I wish he would get well VERY soon!
That way, my Mom will stop being worried enough
TO GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND
COME AND PLAY WITH ME!!! :twisted: :twisted:

From now on every morning when I wake up I will pray for your precious dog...I have children too...we do not ever want to lose them!

So, let's just all pray and have a 'circle of love' for each and everyone who could use it...but especially for Meat and 'our' MB's precious dog!

Oh, this is fun!! And I hope all this love and good feeling is making its way to Meat!! I'd like to think of him as lying there in bed and feeling the warmth!! 8)

Oooh, Kathy--you weren't kidding when you said you used to collect Teddies!! These are WONDERFUL!! I even like the sheep and the bear (love the glasses!!)!! Now, I KNOW Meat would love this thread!!! :wink:

One small correction, friends--all my babies are girls!! There is no wall-marking allowed in the house! :roll: :mrgreen:

But thank you, all! I would happily show you all my kids, if I could get away with it. Do you think R. will move us immediately into the off-topic zone?? :?

Well, wait a minute. Meat loves dogs! He still has his two Westies!! We used to have a Westie many years ago. But now---just Bichons and tiny poodles.

Okay--very quickly--so we won't get too far off topic:

Here's Page One:

Wow MB, this is such a beautiful moving idea, and as usual, your treats make it even better! - I wish I had found it sooner!

Remember on his birthday I was disappointed cause I only had a nasty old 56k dialup (no offence to anyone who still has one of course :)) - well now I have broadband, and WOW! The clips are stunning!

Great effort, you are such a kind and sensitive person. This site, and Meat Loaf, are so lucky to have you.


Meat Loaf - my thoughts and best wishes are with you now and for always.

Get better, and KEEP ON ROCKING!

Can't seem top be able to view the links you put up MB, to bad.
Any ideas why this is?????

Well, I guess most all has been said about Meat and him being ill.
Not going to say anything but: Get well Meat, keep your head up.

Hi Asha,

MB said that the links would only be up for a couple of days so maybe they are taken down.
Hope this helps :D

[Asha]

It could be, but don't think so, I tried them the day before yesterday as well and they didn't work them either. At that time I was having problems with my connection so I though it was that that caused the problem, but it seems that is not the case. Ah well just to bad....

Thx for the help though Maria.

Hi, dear friends!! Well, I picked quite a day to be away from the forums!! But what joy to come back and know that we've heard from Meat!!

I'm SO sorry that he had to go through this procedure, but thankfully, all apparently went well and he's resting comfortably. And what wonderful news for all of you who will be getting to see him in concert again!!! :bunny:

I just can't thank all of you enough for being a part of this thread. I hope while Meat is recuperating, he'll have the time and the chance to read all the beautiful and heartfelt things you've had to say to him. We all know that we are lucky to have Meat in our lives. But I always think, at times like these, that he, too, is very lucky to have each and every one of you in his life!!

The clips will stay online for a few more days so that eveyone can see them. Asha, I'm sorry you've been having problems with them. Make sure that you are running with RealOne's latest player. Download the newest one, if you are not and that should fix your problems. (Someone else was experiencing the same thing and this helped her!)

I can't believe we've had nearly 1600 hits on this thread! That's a lot of love and best wishes headed in Meat's direction! I'm sure he's been feeling it!!

If any of you wish to continue to send him your positive thoughts and prayers for a full recovery, this is still a great place to do it!!

Again, my love and my thanks to each of you!! And a huge THANK YOU to Meat for coming here and making this a very special Sunday for all of us!!

REST AND FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!!

Much love to everyone,
MB

Hi, MB! I just wanted to thank you again for such a great thread. I went back through it and reread what everybody had to say. Very beautful. I hope that while Meat is getting bettr he will come here and read this.

Thank you again for all the clips and to all forum members who added poems and stories and words and love for Meat!

Fire Ball, I hope you are better soon. Rest and get well!

[Pat Out of Hell]

Hello. I have been lurking on this forum for a long time, but I had to come forward first to tell Meat how happy I am that he is going to be well again. And then I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this thread. It really helped me when I was feeling so low about Meat being sick.

All the poems and words of encouragement and the videos and so on helped to get me through this terrible time.

So I thank you for having it hear.

This is a nice forum.

Love
Pat

[MBrevard]

Hi, friends! Thank you guys for your kind words. I'm really glad this thread helped you. I have to admit that it helped me, too, get through the waiting period until we heard about Meat!!

Pat, welcome to the board. Nice to have you here with us!

I was just going through some of my files and I found a couple more which I didn't have the chance to post earlier.

And I thought, well, Meat is still recuperating and still needs our prayers and positive thoughts going his way that his recovery will be a complete one!!

So, I'm going to post one of them now. (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw11.html) It's the middle of the night here in California and I'm in the mood for Meat (when am I NOT??!! :roll: )

Hope y'all enjoy this one. :bunny:

REST AND FEEL BETTER SOON, MEAT!!

Love,
MB

[Cpl Mickey]

:D MB I have only just been able to get on this thread, the last 3 days have been so hectic but all the poems etc from everyone are wonderful, I will be praying for your dog and hope everything is ok and i continue to pray for Meat's recovery. Dottie i loved the picture message, you have such a way of saying what others can't, withiout trying. When ever i feel down i put any Meat Loaf CD that i lay my hands on first and i feel so much better :wink: :)

[Meatloafer]

I agree Cpl Mickey! I haven't been back here since the first day or so and just finished reading and watching everything. This is an amazing thread! Thank you MB. Your dogs are beautiful and I hope the surgery goes well.

Dear Meat,

Thank you for coming here and telling us what has been happening to you. I continue to send you my prayers every day for a full recovery. Take your time coming back. You have been through a lot.

:D

[Pat Out of Hell]

Hi MB. Thanks for the welcome. This is a very busy forum. Always lots to read.

I was wondering something and I hope you don't mind my asking you this. You seem to have a lot of Meat Loaf videos to share with everyone.

I have been looking for one for a long time. It is the early music video of Razors Edge. Do you have that and will you show it some time? I remember seeing it somewhere. But that was a long time ago. I remember really liking it.

Was that okay to ask here? :oops:

Love
Pat

[MBrevard]

Hi, Pat! Thanks for coming back.

Razor's Edge, I believe, was on Hits out of Hell. I do have it, but not ready to share. Perhaps on the next 'event' whenever that will be, I'll be able to share a bit of it with you and everyone.

While I'm writing here, :roll: I received a letter from Sherrie today and she brought up something that had not occurred to me--perhaps, not to you guys either.

Did you realize that while this Webathon was going, Meat was getting ready and going through his medical procedure??!!! We were all doing this just when he needed the prayers and good wishes the MOST!! :!: :D

I don't know why, but I hadn't made that connection. I think it's wonderful!! And once again, I thank each and every one of you who participated in this project. I think, maybe, we really did some good with it!!!

With Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow in the States, I just wanted to wish Meat and all the members in the band a very Happy Thanksgiving! I think, this year especially, whether you celebrate this holiday or not, we Meaty fans have a LOT to be thankful for!!! :bunny:

Thanks again, friends.

Sending love to you all,
MB

[little_dancer]

I am sorry that I am so late posting to this thread.

MB: As always, you've got a heart that could crush a city :D Much love to you for your time and work to get this thread going...

Meat,
When I first heard you were ill-
I was very scared- so I can only imagine what your family, fiancee, and friends were going through.

You are the only artist that I have ever felt a personal significance about-
and I think that's because you deliver your gifts from your heart, and not
your pocketbook -like so many others do.

You've always acted as though you were priviledged to do the work that you do- on screen, on stage, on vinyl- but you've worked for every single good thing that has ever happened to you- you've been beaten back so many times, and yet you've always perserveered- you deserve every single good thing that has happened, and will happen for you- god knows you've had to work your ass off to get it, over and over again.

The songs that you have recorded over the years, doing the work that
you love, have meant a great deal to me. I'm just a short, little girl who lives in a cold place, and we'll probably never sit down to have a
coffee- or share stories with one another- but your music, your voice, your presence, your 'real-ness' and integrity have meant more to me, than you could ever possibly know.

The greatest choices I've made in my life, have been inspired in part by having followed your work. You are so humble, so gracious, and yet you've had to fight for everything- the talents you posess are incredible, but the spirit, integrity and strength you have is beyond rare-

Meat- please get better, and take all the time you need to do so.

Much love and respect,
Leah

Little Dancer, your words are so beautiful- it nearly brought me to tears, probably because they also reflect a lot of how I feel about Meat. Thanks for adding to the threat, it was good to read.

Welcome, Tink! Good to have you here!

Sherrie, Rosie, Dottie, thank you. Hey, Dottie, where did that second photo come from and do you know who the people are in it?? Hadn't seen that one before.

Asha, thank you!! I hope you were finally able to see and hear all the clips in the thread!!

Well, it's been a week of GREAT NEWS!! Why don't we celebrate it together, while we're waiting for the concerts to begin again.

Here is one more clip that I had left over from the actual Webathon (http://www.conubic.com/real/gwmlw12.html).

Thanks, MB. I will keep watching for it then. I would really like to see it.

And thank you for the Execution Day clip. That was another song I had always wanted to see performed.

Hope Meat is feeling better every day! :D

Thank you, Mariella and Kezzina for adding to this thread today!

Can't wait to hear the news about tonight, either! Why does time always go so slowly when you are waiting for something to happen, but oh, so quickly when you are dreading doing something??!! :? Shouldn't time just be time??? :??:

Only a few more days until Sunday, Kezzina, you lucky girl, and then you'll be there and seeing him, yourself!!! :bunny:

Love to all,

MB,
Thanks for the lovely thread. Kezzina is lucky isn't she, and so are the people at tonight's concert. Time is finicky. Can't help being jealous of the people who get to see Meat.

[Eva]

Exactly one year ago did Meat collapse on stage in Wembley. So I thought to bring this very friendly thread back on top.

If I remember that day one year ago I go sad again and I know many of you, too.

Now, one year later, we are happy that Meat is healthfully again and that we got that wonderful DVD and CD from Melbourne.

Thank you, Meat!!
