Meatloaf "would do anything" to avoid military draft [View all]

AKA Marvin Lee Aday

There are conflicting origin stories about Marvin Lee Aday's unflattering stage name. However, it seems to have followed him from childhood, a gift from his angry alcoholic father. After attempting to dodge the Vietnam draft by gaining 68 pounds in four and a half weeks, Loaf ignored his draft notice and founded the band Meat Loaf Soul, which later became Popcorn Blizzard.


Just like Nugent, crapping in his pants to avoid the draft. Romney seems to attract chickenhawks like flies on a cowpie.
