Not sure where I read it somewhere about Meat possibly presenting the award to Jim.... So here's something I found

Nice find. I wonder if this is televised.

The release that mentioned Meat said either as a performer or presenter. I think it is most appropriate that he present Jim. Don't want to speculate but can't help but wonder if...

I wonder will Steinman be well enough to attend?

either way it's a well deserved honour

i would be surprised if mr steinman is there... though not because of any susposed health issues.

but i hope he can be arsed to show up :twisted:

why wouldn't he be there?

i hope so too....been thinking the same thing, but lets hope he goes...

Steve Rinkoff may have him chained up in a dungeon somewhere. :bleh:

I hope meat isnt there to accept his award..... I wanna see Meats full speech as Jim accepts his award in person. then after, I wanna see Meat sing heaven can wait with Jim at piano. Thatd be fantastic TV if this is telivised

Why isn't he anywhere?

When was the last time he was seen in public. The Dream Engine concerts?

that would be AMAZING :D

I want them drop a bombshell that they've secretly been planning another album together, then have Jim jump on the piano and the two of them perform What Part of My Body Hurts the Most for the luckiest audience in the world :yep:

I think seeing physical proof that Jim isn't dead will be enough WOW for me, though :lol:

Jim Steinman is Not Dead. He is in Limbo!!!!:-)

He was said to be OK after he cancelled his appearance at Amherst. I do think the Dream Engine was the last time he was reportedly seen in public. I doubt he will play anything. I was hoping he might tell Meat he can have the music track of "Body" that Dream Engine supposedly recorded to add vocals to for the next album. If it exists Jim probably "executive produced" it. As it stands now it is going to waste gathering dust and Jim seems not to care if it gets released or not.

The event is tomorrow night. I wonder if Meat is in New York yet?

Hopefully he posts pictures with him and Jim on Facebook

I absolutely agree :-)

yes, that would be fantastic :-)

Patti sang as well:
"After a quick nap, back to rocking out to Constantine Maroulis, Meatloaf, and Patti Russo at the #songwritershalloffame"

Supposedly Meat stole the show with Constantine:

Wow, I forgot how tall Constantine is.

Thanks for the links, Wario.

“I can never repay him,” Meatloaf said, as his voice broke and tears filled his eyes.

:') I wanna see that speech
