      But I agree. I used to live in Arkansas and I've always liked him. A very good friend of mine named Chad Galleger worked closely with Gov. Huckabee. With the Governor's backing Chad became our youngest mayor at age 22. Chad was brilliant .
      It was funny to see the reaction of all those old fogies. Man, were they jealous! 😂
      One of the losers got so mad he threw a huge chair down a flight of stairs. It was hilarious!
      Before all of that he was youth pastor at our church. Then he was a pastor at his own church. Love you Gov. Huckabee!!!

    I was fortunate to work 3 of his Concerts with a Production Company who helped setup Stage, PA, and Lighting and and met him and talk to him for a few minutes at each show, always the kind type and was an amazing experience. I Still have my Crew Pass and he always would talk to everyone working the shows for a few mins. He also would have everyone gather together about 90 before the show and do a Prayer and Dinner like a family. Marvin was an incredible person with so much talent his concerts was amazing and perhaps the more professional individual to ever work with. Thank you (Meat) sendingPrayers to all his Family, Friends, Band past to present, and fellow Fans.

Now with our country so restricted everyone's lives are boring(I am not including crimes). Instead of watching "woke" media, try asking your grandparents for interesting stories that happened in their lives. You would WISH you came from their era, where freedom and no invasion of privacy existed.

When it came time for the group to eat, Meat Loaf personally invited our team in, saying how professional venues often don’t fulfill the rider as well as we did, and that he wanted us to sit down and eat with him! He was genuine and took time to talk with each of us a bit, as the team was largely comprised of music majors.

      I'm from the Netherlands and when i was younger i did some volunteer work at a home for the elderly.
      After work i used to talk to some of the oldtimers and they had the most amazing stories to tell.
      Mostly about WW2 because that's what i was interrested in the most but if you wanna hear some great stories take the time to talk to the oldtimers.
      Alot of them are real lonely too and it's an amazing sight to see them come back to life sort of when they've got somebody to talk to.

    When JFK was assassinated. I was in elementary school and 8 years old. It came over the PA speaker that we were told to go home. When I got home my mom said "why are you here?" I said President Kennedy was killed. She didn't believe me so I turned on the TV and sure enough it was on the news. She broke down in tears.

    I went to the same high school (Thomas Jefferson) at the same time although I didn't know Meatloaf since he was a couple of years older. The Catholic kids were excused if they wanted to go see JFK. I was in a car-pool with some Catholic kids so I went with them to Love Field and saw the President and Jackie arrive and leave in the motorcade. We weren't hijacked by secret service and didn't know what else to do so went back to school. I remember how excited I was to tell everyone I had seen JFK and how confused I was when everyone told me he was already dead. "But I just saw him." Latter that day they arrested Oswald and the news reported they had found a Mauser rifle in the Book Depository. By the next day they were saying it was a Mannlicher-Carcano, the first time I ever heard of such a rifle. We were friends with people who worked in Henry Wade's D.A. office and O'Neill's funeral home and so I heard a lot of strange things over the following months. When the Warren Report came out the following year I tended to believe it. Today I realize it was a total whitewash to make people stop asking inconvenient questions. It didn't work.

    Meatloaf is a very enlightened fellow. When he says he remembers a high school friend's name "because of you" to Huckabee. Wonderful to see!

    I seen Meatloaf at the Hard Rock in Vegas in 2010 .... he put on a "High Energy" non stop two hour show and played all his hits ... I was Second Row Centre about 12 feet away from him .... it was "Awesome" ... he has lost a lot of weight and looks kinda frail right now ... I hope he is doing well ... great stories .... I'm a fan ... grew up with his music ...

    I was in Jr High School, 9th grade, and remember it well. Very sad day for America.

    If you like hearing Meat Loaf tell stories his autobiography is an amazing read.
