| Yeah, I'm pretty sure A Kiss Is a Terrible Thing to Waste has a heavy musical contribution by Jim. I seem to recall it was the very first song they wrote together to see if their styles would match and it was originally called (or subtitled?) 'One Night on a Motorcycle'. I hear a lot of Jim in the intro and verses, and a lot of Andrew on the chorus. I believe someone said that the Tire Tracks part was, musically, reminiscent of a song from another ALW musical (Song and Dance?) Obviously they're not going to say Music by ALW and lyrics by Jim Steinman... except this track, that track, and the other. I think the new middle 8 in Tyre Tracks "Those good girls never know what they're missing..." is probably Jim's addition. Also wonder about "Off-Ramp Exit to Paradise", maybe? - Danny. > This is so hard. As a fan, I want Jim to have written all > of everything he's touched or tasted.
