Meat Loaf Calls Greta Thunberg 'Brainwashed' In Obvious Attempt To Get Us To Read Interview About His Sex Life
It's a trap!
This morning, Meat Loaf — the singer, not the food product — was trending on Twitter. For why? Because, in an interview with the Daily Mail, he said he believed that teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg had been brainwashed, ostensibly by climate scientists, to believe in climate change even though Meat Loaf, the guy who sang "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" knows climate change is not real:
Meat, who famously worked with President Trump on The Apprentice back in 2010, said he believes there is no such thing as climate change.
'I feel for that Greta. She has been brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change and there isn't.
'She hasn't done anything wrong but she's been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true.'
Everyone has been going absolutely mad tweeting about the hilarity of "noted climate scientist Meat Loaf" thinking he knows what he's talking about, tweeting the article over and over and over again.
But here's the thing. This is what you see when you click on the interview where that exchange takes place:
SELF-CONFESSED SEX GOD, MEAT LOAF.
Approximately 90% of this interview is just Meat Loaf talking about how he used to bang a ton of hot chicks because of how awesome he is at sex (not because he was a rich and famous rockstar or anything), and how also he had a threesome in high school, in case you were wondering. Then a little bit about his weight loss, his new job doing some kind of commercial for some British vegan food company, and then, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, his opinion on Greta Thunberg.
Now, I ask you. If you were interviewing Meat Loaf, would it occur to you to ask him his thoughts on either Greta Thunberg or climate change? If you were even just talking to Meat Loaf, in a casual setting, can you imagine that the subject would just come up naturally in conversation? I contend that it would not! I mean, I've never really given much thought to what I would talk to Meat Loaf about. Probably it would have something to do with Spice World or Rocky Horror (fun fact: I was Columbia in a shadow cast while I was in high school.). It definitely would not be climate change.
Now, I'm not saying that Meat Loaf actually does believe in climate change, or even that he doesn't believe Greta Thunberg was cruelly brainwashed by a cadre of evil scientists... but I feel fairly confident that he just threw that in there so everyone would know that back in the '70s or '80s, all the ladies wanted a slice of Meat Loaf. Pretty much any time someone says something stupid about Greta Thunberg, it goes super viral. So if you really wanted everyone to know how awesome you were at fucking, talking about that and then throwing in some weirdly jerky comment about Greta Thunberg would be the way to go.
Think about it. Would anyone click on, never mind share, an article about Meat Loaf talking about how he is/was a sex god? Probably not! It certainly would not be trending on Twitter, I can tell you that much. But now, because he said some dumb shit about Greta Thunberg and climate change, thousands of people have read this:
Married to Deborah Gillespie, Meat admitted he's never had a problem getting beautiful women and many of his songs do talk about his love-making prowess.
'Most of my songs are... well, true,' he said. 'They are story songs and I am really good at stories... I am a sex god, dear.
'I can't use bad language but people would ask me, "How can a fat M-F like you go out with all these good looking girls?"
We are now all suckers who now know way more than we ever wanted to about Meat Loaf's sex life.

I do recommend The Wilderness Years, from BBC, if you haven't seen it, it's the best. I got ambushed one time, by two young Polish guys at a party where my own husband was the guest of honor and he was their super boss by several levels, all pleasant, but they attacked me, for saying I loved FDR and was writing a novel set at the time. And they came at me-- it was super weird, and they told me he and Churchill were SUCH FOOLS, they called Stalin 'Uncle Joe'! They believed, or tried to believe, these two men were naive about Stalin, and regarded him as a mentor or something. So I said, "It was a joke!" I said, "They knew exactly what Stalin was." But they sat their shaking their heads, what a fool this US woman was! How naive this US woman also was! Leaving the Poles to suffer. Then they started in about how FDR wouldn't agree to let the army attack up the soft underbelly of Europe in Sicily!!! I said, "I'm sorry Poland didn't put together a General Staff like Prussia did."That stopped them, briefly. It just happened I'd been doing this reading for my book, and had had a discussion with my father, (who's thinking was so military) and he'd said, -- well, what I'd said to these Polish guys-- which is probably nonsensical, unfair advice! I was meeting so many foreign people at my husband's work and sick of us being blamed for not staying in Europe long after VE day to fix things for everybody. While people from small countries blamed us for interfering. Anyway, I could read about Churchill and FDR all year long. I love Truman too. You know what he said when he was asked what was the first thing he did when he got back to Independence? "I took the grips up to the attic."
The Manchester biographies were excellent. Unfortunately, I have read that both Churchill and FDR thought they were smarter than Stalin and failed to see what a duplicitous monster he was. They did refer to him as Uncle Joe when he was an ally. Churchill soon realized the truth about Stalin. I think FDR died not realizing the truth. Your stories are interesting.
