Good grief.
1. He didn't call himself Meat Loaf. His high school football coach did.
2. Clearly, you never heard any of his music.
3. It isn't celebrity worship. Dude was blessed with considerable talent. Do yourself the favor of listening to his rendition of the National Anthem at the 1994 MLB All Star Game: Meat Loaf National Anthem
Wowsers. Thanks!
