| Thanks for posting a long post. I sometimes get in trouble for doing that. I am all for long posts, especially when they are intelligent like yours. > I remember a couple of years ago this website was my first > port of call every time I turned on the internet, Jim was > blogging, demo’s were being released there was > anticipation about the Dream Engine, there was even talk > of a musical. Those were the golden years. At the moment there are gag orders in place which have caused infromation starvation. It leads to quarrels on the board with some posters trying to make scapegoats out of other posters. > I read some posts but I don’t > stay long, for it only takes a couple of seconds to > realises that though two years have past the are still the > same idiots on here posting crap, Some of the idiots have been banned. People like me and Lord Rahl would like them to come back because of their entertainment value. If you miss them, you might be able to find them on Dave's new board. But the crap is all over the internet. Some of the posts on Dave's board (not those by Caveman - apart from the misinformation concerning financing), some web pages and blogs which contain really strange claims about Jim, as well as the fake Jim Steinman Twitter page (where the imposter says he has been up all night partying with Meat Loaf). These are just a few examples of the explosion of crap over the last few years. Even when smeone has been banned for crap, they can blog and attract the attention of board members like Dave via Google Alert. But the board will be more healthy when Jim has his gag order removed. Then there will lots of new things to talk about. Posters will know as much as Caveman does,(oh my goodness, what if caveman is secretly Jim? - it can't be easy for him not to blog to us his devoted fans - Caveman seems to know a lot of things that Jim knows - although its just a thought - just in case Pudding accuses me of spreading bullshit about Jim). Hopefully posters like you and Ryan will return when the next golden age begins. > there is still the anti > Meatloaf brigade still preaching their rhetoric, Is that mostly Mr. Smeg? To me, Meat and Jim are like Simon and Garfunkel. They needed each other to make the big time. I thought the Meat-like one they really hate is Porkington. Especially now that Swine Flu is such a problem. > There > are those who even try to bully their opinion on others. Yes. That's mostly Pudding. Any comment he doesn't like is automatically condemed as bullshit. Although its also Smeg and Dave. I don't know if they are the High Priests of Rockman or The Three Stooges. > Don’t get me wrong I know there are people on here who > truly love Jim’s music but the vast majority would rather > spiel crap than actually post something of value. Thanks for saying that. So its not just me, Conas, Ryan and Wordnix (who is doing very well over at Dave's board - now that Richard Haase is ancient history, he should be allowed to post on Rockman again). > after the concert sitting in a limo with Meat Loaf and he > told me he was talking to Jim and that he was writing > songs for Bat 2. Wow. That must have been really cool. What a wonderful experience. > Here’s hoping to another memory of a first night in London > watching a Bat Musical I will insist that you get the best seats in the house. I hope Smeg and Pudding are there. I'd love to meet them. Smeg wrote: "Sounds like Caveman knows what's going on and proves my theory that your mum is as competent as you to produce this musical. Poor Jim." I hope that your positive words about a first night in London mean that you don't agree with this. It is very unfair. My mother and I are very close but we are different. Unlike me, she has amazing production skills and Jim has not made a mistake in choosing to work with her. Caveman wrote a detailed biography of her. Smeg probably didn't bother to read it. The double page ad in The Evening Standard coming out before back up was ready cannot be blamed on her. Pudding wrote: "I think Jim or whoever, would need to have pretty huge balls to put out an ad in the Evening Standard without finaninc being fully in place." Caveman replied: "Not unless retaining the Rights to the musical was conditional upon a substantial advertisement appearing in a major London newspaper by a certain date, along with the setting up of a dedicated website." Both Pudding and Caveman are correct. The finance is in place (and a "business only" executive producer will be announced in a few weeks) but the ad had to appear by a certain date for contractual reasons. Anyway, thanks for your post. I really enjoyed reading it and I get what you are saying. Can you tell us more about Meat Loaf in the limo? That would be very interesting indeed. | |
