Title: A joke that isn't funny anymore
Review: For it's day the gimmick was a unique one. Take a huge, overweight, singer with a silly name, give him a set of overblown and pretentious songs, produce said songs with a style so overwrought that it puts Phil Spector to shame, and have the singer work himself into such a frenzy on stage that he passes out and is rushed into an oxygen tent for revival. Remember folks, it was the 70's when mindless excess ruled the day.That was 20 years ago. I suppose "Bat Out Of Hell" might serve as an amusing time piece of sorts for those who weren't there, but for those of us who were should have no problem giving this the eye roll it deserves and shaking our heads over its continued popularity. It takes all kinds.
