The singer thinks Greta Thunberg has been 'brainwashed' into believing in climate change
An evergreen mystery. Photo: Keystone/Getty Images Admittedly, I do not know very much about Meat Loaf, by which I mean the man and not the protein casserole. I know that he is a boomer rock personality, and I know he once coached a softball team. I know that he will do anything for love, but he won’t do that. I know he has a big sweaty stage presence.

Or, that’s the question my brain began to ask, only to sputter and die on a more pertinent point: Why is Meat Loaf? Not why is Meat Loaf in the news to begin with ; not why is Meat Loaf called that ; not why is Meat Loaf out there spouting bad opinions about climate change, a demonstrably real thing ; not any of the food-related prompts Google suggests when you type “why is meat...
