Oh, what was that?

Me dropping my phone.

Start as you mean to go on.

Right, here we go.

On a hot summer night Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

Yes

I bet you say that to all the boys

Isn't it sad?

I've got a little tear in my eye.

Oh, well, I'm glad you said that, because I wondered whether you would like Meatloaf.

I love Meatloaf.

Well, I just think, the more you think about his music, the more iconic it becomes.

It was one of the first rock albums I ever bought

Bat Out of Hell. And to this day, it remains my favourite ever album of all time. I mean, every single

song on it is a banger, isn't it? I thought of you when the news came out, because I thought, I was

pretty sure you'd previously said that you were a very

very big meatloaf fan I mean let me say I don't think he is the most sophisticated

musician to ever grace the sort of halls of rock and roll but um well because he's fat and long

haired well that doesn't bother me he hasn't got a um an enormous range but what he has got is you know great

have you seen the show oh i've been twice of course you have sorry to the coliseumum in St. Martins Lane the first time with Brandon Lewis and his wife,

and they loved it too.

And even John liked it, and he doesn't like going to the theatre at all.
