Steven,
I too have felt that Jim has been underappreciated in many levels of music history, be it classic rock or theatrical.
You started your post on Not Allowed to Love and then veered off into other territory. I think this song is one of Jim's best and could still put him back on the map. I know I've said it before, but I think this song would be perfect for Adam Lambert's album. The title alone has the Jim wit, especially if performed by an "out" singer in the public eye.
I know it's not going to happen. But, I hope this song finally see's the public light of day in some fashion. I know Ryan has been a supporter of this song for a while and I thank him for that. It's brilliant, IMO.
