Meat Loaf mercilessly mocked after accusing Greta Thunberg of being 'brainwashed'

If you are of a certain age you've probably never heard of aging rocker Meat Loaf but he has heard of Greta Thunberg and unsurprisingly has a few opinions about the climate change activist.

The 'Bat out of Hell' singer, who also starred in Fight Club, spoke to the Daily Mail and admitted that he felt sorry for the 17-year-old Swede who has been widely praised for her efforts to raise awareness on the climate crisis.

The 72-year-old who is a climate change denier, is quoted as saying:

She has been brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change and there isn’t. 

She hasn’t done anything wrong, but she’s been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true.

Considering that Meat Loaf's career peaked in the 1970s and Thunberg is still a teenager it is unlikely that she has ever heard of him and it would hardly be the first time that she has received a critical comment from an older, misguided white man.

With all this in mind, people were more than happy to come to Thunberg's defence and mock Meat Loaf, real name Marvin Lee Aday, for his egregious comments.

It should be noted that Meat Loaf has recently said that he will be going vegan for January, which is commendable and will probably be a lot healthier than his reported diet in the 1980s.

Once again, we'd really like to know how many people of Thunberg's age have actually heard of Meat Loaf and didn't confuse him for a type of food.
