What’s for dinner?
If you’re presidential candidate Mitt Romney, meatloaf may be on the menu. Seems that Rocker Marvin Lee Aday a.k.a. Meat Loaf offered his endorsement at a rally in Ohio.
We’re not sure if that’s to Romney’s chagrin or whether the Romneys think that his endorsement will put him over the edge in the toss up state. After all, Aday’s album “Bat Out of Hell” has sold more than 43 million copies worldwide and is still going strong – plus, he won a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)”
Once a popular artist on the scene at DC’s Bayou on the Waterfront – before the Waterfront was the Waterfront – The Bayou occupied an old building on K Street in Georgetown, under the Whitehurst Freeway for forty-six years.
“The club opened in September 1953 on the site of a former Dixieland nightclub called The Pirates Den. The club featured Dixieland jazz until the early ’60s when the format changed to rock and roll – enter Meat Loaf.
The club included a balcony level, with tables and chairs, and two standing room only bars. The main floor bars were fed bottled liquor from a “tap” room that was situated above the entrance, (although most remember it as “lap” room.) Bottles placed upside down into funnels feeding long tubing led to the downstairs bars.” Wikepedia

Meat Loaf is also known for his role the American premiere of The Rocky Horror Show which played at a now defunct Theater in Georgetown.
Meat Loaf was a buzz word then and in Ohio still is. For those of us who remember our youthful indiscretions at The Bayou, we’re hear to say: We Love Meat Loaf.
