Hehe. I always remember getting onto the web and looking up Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman and then coming across this site. I don't remember WHAT the Meat Loaf site WAS. It could have been the old US fan club site? I'm not sure. There was no Meatloaf.net in those days lol. But I always remember THIS site. "Rockman Philharmonic", "A Glorious Reverie", "Do you DARE to dream his dream? Yes or no?" No? "And it's the backbeat of the city on a Saturday night. If you're too scared to jump then you've gotta be shoved." JK Potter's picture "Wet dreams" before I knew what Pandora's Box was. "The gallery of despair". It was all part of "the experience" too. Then Neverland Hotel, of course, and Daniel's site The Jim Steinman Temple. I still have print outs of the Rarities section from Jim Steinman Temple in 1999.
