Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away.

I saw him live at the Roxy in West Hollywood. He was one of the featured players in the original L.A. production of the Rocky Horror Show...yes, the live version that preceded the movie release. Loud, hammy and full of fun. He owned that stage. And oh yeah, he showed up at one of my sister's parties. He grabbed a microphone, ordered the band to play one of his numbers and kept us in laughter for a good five-to-ten minutes. Rest in Peace!

I'll guess he isn't in the rock and roll hall of fame because he simply wasn't a big enough, or influential enough, star.
