“#Meat Loaf, Legendary Rock Singer And Rocky Horror Picture Show Star, Has Died At 74”
Born in Dallas, Texas, on September 27, 1947, Meat Loaf got the first half of what would later become his stage name when he was still a newborn baby. Speaking in an Oprah: Where Are They Now interview, Meat Loaf explained:
“I got it when I was four days old ― not the ‘Loaf’ part, just the ‘Meat,’ because I was born bright red. So the doctor suggested that they should keep me in the hospital for a few days. My dad actually spoke like this … [Southern accent] ‘So, uh, I want you to name my son there — because he looks like nine-and-a-half pounds of ground chuck — I want you to put a name tag on the front of that plastic crib and it say ‘Meat’ on it.’ They stuck that printed card that said ‘Meat’ and that was it!”
He got the second half of his name in eighth grade as a football player, after accidentally stepping on his coach’s foot. “He screamed, ‘Get off my foot, you hunk of meat loaf!”
Over a career that spanned six decades, Meat Loaf built a legacy on the screen, stage, and radio waves that will surely last for many more lifetimes. He will be fondly remembered by a legion of fans who continue to rock on in his honor, as well as by his family and close friends.
