Well, I just got through listening to the Rugby Finals in Australia and I'm ready to strangle the announcers for this event!!
First of all, from the sounds of it, the power went off right before the show was to begin. Then, they finally brought Meat and the band out. The announcer proceeded to talk through the center of Bat (and other places). They didn't seem to realize there was going to be a second song, so started to talk through it!!! They thought that it was Kelly Clarkson singing with Meat. Thankfully, Meat, as he always does, introduced Patti at the end, so the announcer had to backtrack and try to make up for his mistake....
Why weren't these guys told what was going to happen?? Oh well...
After the Kelly Clarkson section, he did manage to read an email I had sent in, telling him to say hi to Meat--that all of us from the MLUKFC forum love him (they just read "forum"
) and couldn't wait to hear him sing!! Sadly, I had turned my recorder off by then, but I was still listening....At least we may have let Meat know we're thinking of him...if he gets a copy of the message.
Wait... Just heard a bit more from listening to the radio's coverage:
I guess Channel 9 is getting hundreds of emails complaining that they didn't show Meat's full performance on TV!! Way to go, people!! I guess lots of folks are OUTRAGED!!!...
Wait a minute. The announcer just said that they can't even read some of the mail coming in because people are SO upset about not seeing Meat that their use of language is not fit for broadcast!!!! I LOVE this, don't you??!!!
If you missed Meat's part of it,
here's a link so that you can listen to what happened. Wasn't the best of connections, so I apologize for the quality, but...it's the best I could get.
Enjoy it, friends!! I hope Channel 9 continues to be flooded with angry email and phone calls!!!!
When are these people going to learn that THE WORLD LOVES MEAT LOAF??!!
Love to all,
MB
