Dallas certainly has its fair share of rockers, being the birthplace of Don
Henley of The Eagles, the inimitable Meatloaf, author of Bat Out of Hell – arguably one of hard rock's most iconic songs – and Stevie Ray Vaughan, blues guitar virtuoso extraordinaire. More recently Lee Anne Rimes and the Dixie Chicks are making waves in the country music scene. Elsewhere, current vice president Dick Cheney was born here, and Anne Rice, author of Interview With a Vampire.
