Determination

RSG · 19 Nov 2003, 03:52

One really has to admire the determination of Mr. Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf. From almost turning down Jim Steinman's lyrics for Bat Out Of Hell, to saying Bat Out Of Hell II, was good as it is with out the one more song, objects in the rear view mirror. Meat and Jimmy has hever gave up. they got those songs finished, they found todd rundgren after lengths of time time looking for someone too accept a record, and that is pure determination. Last night was a good example although 3 songs in it got the worst of Meat, I was told that he was in tears when he had to leave. if you were behind of the pack, would you want Meat and Jimmy to be your leaders of the pack and take you home by now.

my point in this message, is you will see most people in the music business, will either give a little cough and say sorry folk s but i can't perform tonight. or they won't even show up!

or to get a record to pass like brittney spears they'll show a little skin and there you go a record contract. through thick and thin, there will always be Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. and by themselves they are both amazing people. Think about it, really think about the determination of these 2, especially Meat!
