It's difficult to talk about Todd without talking about Jim. Also, Jim's Nutz project is very experimental. He is not just writing the lyrics (although that would be enough to prove once again that Jim is a genius). Despite a lot of help from Steve Margoshes and Jeff Bova, as well as the basic melodies being supplied by Tchaikovsky, the song concepts are by Jim. Also, in the early days, Jim was very experimental. As you know, Clive Davis tried to teach him how to write a three minute pop song and Jim ignored him and continued writing his unique Wagnerian rock pieces. To me, Paradise By The Dashboard Light was very experimental. | |
