Very well said Pud. Meat wasn't well, he's now recovering, I think we should now get back to the main point of the thread which is the great news that Bat Out Of Hell has been recognised in such a way and given the award
The link that AndrewG posted (just above this post if I'm typing quick enough
) quips that actually it was Jim who wrote the song not Meat, does anyone know if Jim was mentioned at the ceremony?
