| The "new" version of All Revved Up that Jim uses for the Bat musical is 100x better, imo. I too loved the "Passion Playhouse" - my title was poo-pooed as "overly explored." But, I was young at the time, and it seemed new and fresh to me. Same with Gallery of Despair - a title I based off of the photo shoot/collages from Pandora's Box that I found in one of Jim's (many) storage units that I was allowed to dig around in. The man has multiple museums!! And he has beautiful, beautiful taste. His home is stunning. I've often suggested he be on MTV's CRIBS but he's a modest guy, our Jimmy. > Just thinking over what JD said below about "All revved > up"...
