It's too soon for Jim's legacy to be reassessed (trying to articulate that and probably failing miserable), but I compare him to a seventeenth century playwright or composer, where I'm sure in the generations to come there'll be your Olivier's and so on and so forth. How many great actors have done Shakespeare? Jim's like Mozart. It's just a question of WHEN you find someone on that level that Meat succeeded so brilliantly at. That's the way it should be anyway, for me, with any composer.
