Here is a bit of trivia that I didn't know about Meatloaf:
He was born Marvin Aday, but legally changed his first name to Michael because of a local radio ad when he was a kid that caused him to be teased because of his weight.
"Before becoming famous, the singer changed his name to Michael because of a hurtful commercial. Meat Loaf explained to CNN that he was “so big” that he “couldn’t fit into blue jeans” when he was young.
When a Levi’s commercial came on the air that said, “Poor fat Marvin can’t wear Levi’s,” Meat Loaf was mortified. He was only about seven years old. So, after that, no one called him Marvin."
