| I first discovered Jim my senior year in high school, when Bat 1 was first released. I picked up the Rocky Horror soundtrack (that pre-dated the movie version in Iowa City)about that same time and made the connection with Meat Loaf. I was very much into Queen, Zep, and classical at the time and felt a strong common thread throughout all of them. Jim's lyrics were the most amazing aspect of his work--very powerful, unprecedented and unusual choices. I guess I never saw Meat and Jim as the 'freak act' that alot of the music business tended to, at least at first, put them in--the strength and integrity of their work made them such viable contenders I just saw them as outstanding assets to rock playlists. Over the years Jim's lyrical magic continued, but it would be great if he were just more prolific! But the short answer would be in high school, first lp.
