- I wouldn't stop listening to his music - I would just consider it a very sad end. - Radio stations wouldn't stop playing his songs, because, e.g. they never announce, "Here's No Matter What by Boyzone, written of course, by Jim Steinman." If he were the performer of the songs, e.g. Gary Glitter, then it might be a different story (although R Kelly would disprove this). - The thought of JS wouldn't disgust me, I would feel it were a sad end. Possibly no more a sad ending though than I consider Bat 3... - It would depend on the circumstances as to whether the "two Jims" would be considered separately. Consider Mohammed Ali - he is considered the greatest, depsite taking beatings later in his career and ending up as his is now. People remember him how he was. - I bet Jim pissed himself when he read your post too... > and guns down 47 people with an Uzi.
