In a word: Insanity.

Though the dead Kennedys didn’t make an appearance in Dallas on Tuesday, that didn't deter a faction of QAnon supporters expecting the return of the political dynasty, who now have a new target for their affection, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

From our "In Case You Were Wondering" file:

What Wouldn't Meat Loaf Do For Love?

When Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday) released "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" in 1993, listeners were left wondering exactly what "that" meant. The song was featured on his album Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell and sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 for weeks.

The song's co-writer, Jim Steinman, told Meat Loaf, "People aren't gonna know what that is." But Meat Loaf never intended to befuddle listeners and thought he made it clear throughout the song what he wouldn't do.

In fact, many things listed in the lyrics qualify. Among them, Meat Loaf would "never lie to you," "forget the way you feel right now," "forgive myself if we don't go all the way," "do it better than I do it with you," or "stop dreaming of you every night of my life."

And now you know.
