Very sad news.

I was lucky enough to talk to Steve a few years ago when he was kind enough to give an interview to the fan club for Rear View Mirror. He was gracious, funny and clearly had a great understanding and passion for the music industry.

He's one of the unsung heroes of the Meat Loaf / Steinman story.

May he rock in peace!

This I such sad news. I emailed with him quite a bit during the lawsuit. He was full of fun stories. Good guy!

One believer is worth 1000 people who have a little faith.

Steve showed his belief by supporting Meat & Jim when they had a ridiculous notion of an album called Bat Out Of Hell.

RIP, and thank you.

RIP, Steve. He lived right around the corner from my house - a music legend that will be missed.

He bought into the Bat sound when everyone else hated it. RIP.
