Well, it's safe to say that the past few days, I've felt like Meat in the "Read 'Em and Weep" video: slumped over the typewriter at the desk, head in hands, struggling to find the words to explain exactly what Jim Steinman and his music has meant to me.
I finally finished and published it on my LinkedIn profile this afternoon (was going to put it on my blog, but was having trouble with the formatting of the lyric quotes, and the image - even now the lyric snippets still don't look right).
Hope it's okay for me to share the link here? Let me know if it's not and I'll remove it. Basically it's a tribute piece, with some background info, the story of how I discovered his music, and the impact it's had on my life.
Oh, and it happens to be as long as one of his songs!
