Meatloaf Paradise By The Dashboard Light
* Meat Loaf once picked up Charles Manson hitchhiking, not realizing who he was until he heard about him in the news.
* Meat Loaf was a vegetarian at one time. He claims to have renounced it after k.d. lang, another vegetarian, refused to speak with him because of his name.
* He is a big fan of the English football club Hartlepool United F.C. and is looking to buy a home in Hartlepool
* He coached softball at his daughters' Connecticut high school Joel Barlow High School, including while his daughters were on the team.
* During the 1990s, Meatloaf studied Tai Chi extensively with legendary Grandmaster Liang.
* He coached a little league baseball team in Stamford, Connecticut in the 1980's. That team, in the "majors" did not bear his name, but he sponsored a team in the "minors" which bore the name "Meat Loaf."
* On August 26 to August 28, 2006, Meat Loaf took part in an annual celebrity golf version of the Ryder Cup called The All*Star Cup in South Wales, UK. August 26 was practice day, August 27 and August 28 were the two days of competition. Europe won the Cup for the second consecutive year. Meat lost his two games, but was a massive hit with the crowds, entertaining them with lots of laughs and fun as he made his way round the course. Alice Cooper was a fellow member of the US team. The event was a big success, with large crowds attending, and the two main days of competition were shown live on UK television. Meat clearly enjoyed the event and hopefully will return to play again in future years of The All*Star Cup.
* Meat Loaf is said to have cheated death on numerous occasions, having crashed in a car which rolled over,[13] been hit on the head with a shot put,[14] and being struck by Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome.[15] More recently, in October 2006, his private jet was almost forced to crash land at London's Stansted Airport after his plane's forward landing gear failed temporarily.
* Meat Loaf appears as Jack Black's father in the 2006 film Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny. He also provides vocals on the film's opening song Kickapoo.
* Meat Load performed with Katherine McPhee on American Idol. The song called "It's all coming back to me".

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
"The Message" is an old school hip hop song released in 1982, performed by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The song's lyrics were some of the first in the genre of rap to talk about the struggles and the frustrations of living in the ghetto. The song (including most of the lyrics) was written by Sugar Hill songwriter Ed "Duke Bootee" Fletcher, and Flash was originally uninterested in recording it. Furious Five rapper Melle Mel was the only group member that contributed any lyrics to the final version of the song.

Radiohead - Karma Police
A music video was made for the song, featuring Yorke as the only passenger in a driverless car as it chases a man (Hungarian actor Lajos Kovács) down a deserted highway. Finally, when it looks like the car is finally going to run the man over, it instead reverses, leaving a trail of gas, which the man sets alight. The camera then turns to show the back seat in which Yorke was sat, but he has disappeared. The video was directed by Jonathan Glazer, previously responsible for Radiohead's "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" clip. Glazer won MTV's director of the year award in 1997 for his work on this, as well as Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity."
