I had recently listened to the song and was very excited by its brilliance but at the same time slightly disturbed that not all members of the public know about Jim. I had sort of mixed emotions. That's why I sort of veered off into other reasons why I feel that Jim deserves a lot of recognition. Creatively he has achieved so much. I am just glad that UK media people are fully aware of his contribution to both rock and thetare. > I think this song is one > of Jim's best and could still put him back on the map.

I agree completely. I live in the UK but I have seen most of Adam's performances and I think he is very talented. Could he play Peter Pan in Jim's rock "Neverland"? I'm not sure. Certainly there have been quite a few people who want him to record "Paradise" with Fergie (same manager as Jim, as you probably know). However, your post and suggestion is really cool. Maybe "Not Allowed To Love" is the one that Adam should record. Perhaps as a duet with Fergie. Wasn't it meant to be for a duet between Batman and Catwoman? The trouble with "Paradise" is that the Meat Loaf version is very famous. Although people have made successful covers of well known songs before. I think your "Not Allowed To Love" suggestion is the best one I've heard though. It would be so cool to see it climbing up the various charts. > I know it's not going to happen.

Ryan has made a huge effort to keep the songs that Jim wrote for Batman in the public eye. I thank him too. Hopefully he will have some time to comment on your Adam Lambert singing "Not Allowed To Love" idea. | |
