Legendary rock star, Meat Loaf, took his stage name from two separate incidents: The day he was born his skin was bright red, so his father had “Meat” placed on the crib name tag because he thought his newly born son looked like “nine and a half pounds of ground chuck.” Then in the 8th grade, Marvin stepped on a coach’s foot. The coach screamed, “Get off my foot you hunk of meatloaf!”
