Celine Dion and Meat Loaf once grabbed for the same Jim Steinman song, as if it was the last devilled egg on the backstage deli platter. Mr. Steinman must have been pleased, as there was never too much melodrama for him.
A reviewer for the Vancouver Sun was particularly upset, describing the song as “intensely self-indulgent and pompously self-important.” As if that was a bad thing. Where serious rock operettists Pete Townshend and Roger Waters frowned, Mr. Steinman’s creations were often fun and fanciful.Mr. Steinman was the maestro; the singers he supplied with songs were the life-breathers to his extravagant designs. Sometimes there wasn’t even enough air supply to go around.
“When you put out that much energy, it’s not such a spectacular thing to take oxygen,” he told the unknown interviewer, before slamming the phone down and turning to Mr. Steinman. “Tell me Jimmy, what’s so bizarre about a tank of oxygen?”The more interesting revelations in the interview are attached to Mr. Steinman. His inspirations, he said, were German romantic music and Little Richard rock ‘n’ roll. “I’d listen to an entire Wagner opera and be totally paralyzed by it,” he explained.
“air supply” I see what you did there.
To hell with this article...Meatloaf...Bat Out Of Hell...Later in life my Mom and Dad explained submarine races and drive-in movies to me🤣 I loved this 33 LP when I was 5!
