Marvin/Michael Lee Aday: "One of a Kind. Who Could You Compare Him to? No One. THAT'S How You Define Greatness."

Paul Stanley's words concerning the singer-songwriter known as 'Meatloaf' - whether worthy of Michael Aday or otherwise (I would hardly have any legitimate clue or idea, truth be told) - are nevertheless a wonderful tribute to grace the life of anyone, although one could as easily substitute the word 'unique' for greatness, to be pedantically accurate (and I'm saying that again in a general sense, as opposed to being any kind of commentary upon Aday himself).

Yet 'unique', which seems to fit the aforementioned statement better (in, as I maintain, a generic sense) doesn't necessarily mean good or decent etcetera, which by all accounts those who knew Aday well most definitely seem to have considered him.

Yes, an idiosyncratic iconoclast and all the rest - even someone with outspoken political views and staunch religious convictions, apparently - but for all of that, what ultimately matters the most: a thoroughly decent human being (insofar as people in the know can discern), and one who left an impact during his life...

However if being 'one of a kind' were the only tangible measure of anyone, even 

that (great) dragon, the ancient serpent, the devil, and Satan could arguably fit the bill!
