Jim's love life through music - LordRahl 08:37 pm UTC 07/10/07 |

I was actually gonna bring up Steinman and homosexuality when I joined this forum but then read the big thread in the history on it from Dec and decided now prob wasn't the time ;)
Either way I think that obviously Jim feels emotions very stornglya nd passionately but also that he tends to write songs from the perspective of characters and situations--More than You Deserve in particular was written for an explicit situation in the play of the same name he wrote songs for (ie I doubt Jim actually saw his girlfriend being gang banged by a group fo his best friends but it makes sense given the odd plot of the piece and the nymphomaniac wife who becomes obssessed with sex after being gang raped [on that plot point alone I have to wonder why the play wasn't more controversial...])
