Man, another piece of my misspent youth gone like tears in rain. RIP Bonnie Tyler. "Holding Out For A Hero" was so goofy and delicious simultaneously that you couldn't help but love it. I still do not understand a single line of the lyrics to "Total Eclipse of the Heart", but that didn't stop me from dancing my (then) tiny ass off to it.
Fun fact: Both of these songs were written by Jim Steinman, who wrote most, if not all, of Meat Loaf's songs. Once you know that, you can see his signature sound. (Also Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing At All", which was actually supposed to be sung by Meat Loaf, but there was some kind of dispute with the record company, so the song ended up with Air Supply. I think it and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" were battling it out for number one on Billboard for a couple of weeks in 1984.

75 really doesn't seem that 'old' to die anymore, but a lot are. In the USA, it's 81.4 'average' for females. But I guess musicians and drinkers die younger, still sad. I really think the #'s are a bit skewed, but to me 80-90 is 'optimal' with modern medicine with 95 or so maxed.
