I've never heard Meat Loaf was from Corpus Christ, and I grew up there. Wiki says he grew up in Dallas, graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School, and then attended Lubbock Christian College and North Texas. But all are welcome to the band wagon as long as they stick along for the rough times!
He grew up in Dallas. He has this awesome personal story about the day's events when Kennedy was assassinated. His buddy's Dad tipped him that the Kennedy motorcade would be leaving Love Field from a particular exit, and he and a friend actually shook hands with the President when he stopped the motorcade at the gate. After the assassination their car was actually commandeered by a CIA officer that stepped in front of it, stopped the car, seized the wheel and drove to Parkland Hospital. They arrived there just minutes before the motorcade arrived, and Meatloaf observed the events that transpired there up close and personal. It's a great story, that I've heard him tell a couple of times.
