Man oh man. There was a cover band that did a killer rendition of this at the old Eastown Saloon in Grand Rapids when I was in college, and we used to go cahrazy when they played it. I’m getting old. Obit here.

So if you had a choice, which candidate would you rather be:
Obama, Springsteen wrap up Wisconsin campaign
Or:
Meat Loaf sings his endorsment of Mitt Romney.
Not that musical surrogates necessarily define a candidate, but… well, they are a reflection.
He’s no Meat Loaf, but hey, you work with the talent you have.
Um…
I’m… speechless… no words…
That was, erm, painful, “brothah”!
And awkward.
Please note: New video added, the old one (below) was pulled.
Meat Loaf Sings Endorsing Romney America The Beautiful
DEFIANCE, Ohio – Mitt Romney rallied a large crowd in the high school football stadium here tonight after surprise musical guest Meat Loaf belted out an endorsement for the Republican presidential nominee to the crowd of 12,000 people.
I couldn’t be more proud. You may remember previous posts about my former theatre student and wonderful, gifted, sweet friend, Alex Nester. She is a cancer survivor, my hero, and is now in a music video with a Twitter pal of ours, the very talented Salvador Santana (@SalvadorSantana)!
Salvador is the son of ten-time Grammy winning guitarist Carlos Santana and poet/author Deborah Santana.
Alex:
I’m so very thrilled to finally be able to share this with you all: the release of Salvador Santana’s official music video for “INTO THE LIGHT“!!!! I had such a blast recording the song and filming the video with this incredibly talented artist.
Awesome. Just as she was in this.

So very human, so awfully off key, and somehow endearing:
POLITICO’s latest CLICK Flick features five U.S. senators — Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Ted Kaufman (D-Del.), Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Tom Udall (D-N.M.) — doing their best to ring in the holiday season with a rousing version of “Jingle Bells.”
Jingle ballsy:
