Episode 103: Meat Loaf, “Paradise By The Dashboard Light”

Who'd have guessed we'd disagree this much about Meat Loaf? For one of us, "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" is just the tonic, and for the other, it's a dram of poison. That disagreement leads to reflections on excess, mid-air motorcycles, and the existential reckoning that comes with a really long song.   Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by William Joel.
