| > Obviously ALW ultimately decided the 'element in the > collaboration' was not Jim, hence new director for London. Yes. Although ALW fired Jim but Jim didn't know it because he went for a journey to Europe and didn't tell anyone where he was going. By the time he got back, ALW had changed his mind and Jim only found out much later. Its a good job for Andrew that he changed his mind because Jim gave him his most successful single in the British charts ever. Not only did Jim write the lyrics for "No Matter What" but he changed the music around (with ALW's permission) so that it suited Boyzone. I hope that Jim writes a book because that episode is just one of many interesting tales. He kept a very expensive suite at The Dorchester which came out of his pay and he ordered room service to bring everything on the menu to his suite every night. He would go out for dinner and forget to cancel it. ALW famously said that Jim Steinman doesn't have an eating disorder, he has an ordering disorder (posted somewhere on this website). Perhaps posters could post their favourite Jim histroy stories. That might make quite a good thread. | |
