Jim is not "Sad Sack". He may have times when he feels like he is ready to leave an activity, but he always has a good door to walk into. He keeps himself busy. Jim's heart is full, he has few regrets, and he has a great deal to look forward to. Memories form excellent forms of inspirations when those inspirations are emotionally based, and the writing of a song is one of the healthiest expressions, where these things are given forum, especially in the case between he and I, where as an audience member, I had the ability to hear, and eventually recognize those, and share in the feelings that were being expressed. I really don't want to be saying more about this right now. I am indeed feeling like you deserve to know nothing about Jim Cypherd OR Jim Steinman. | |
