With a lack of subtlety that became his greatest and most weirdly admirable asset, Meatloaf poured it on and poured it out over and over again, in just about everything he did

He was at home among all theatrics. Photo: Rick Diamond/Getty Images Everything about Meat Loaf, the man who was born Marvin Lee Aday and who died yesterday at the age of 74, was outsize.

Meat Loaf’s voice was a titanic beauty, able to hit high notes with precision and tenderness. More important, maybe, than its range was its capacity to reflect effort and emotion. When Meat Loaf sang a song like “I Would Do Anything for Love ,” written by the late Jim Steinman, who composed the tracks for which Meatloaf is most famous, it sounded like he was pouring his heart, lungs, and liver into every lyric.

In more recent years, Meat Loaf expressed opinions that also were, um, big. In 2012, he told Esquire that he did not consider himself a Republican — “I’m neither right nor left, and I’m not sure I’m even in the middle. I have a lot of views to the left, and I have a lot of views to the right, and that really doesn’t put me in the middle. I don’t know what that makes me. It makes me weird” — but that same year, he endorsed Mitt Romney’s presidential run.
