You know, it’s sad but my mind did go to, “what will they do with Jim’s house?” I felt bad for thinking it but of course it did cross my mind. I don’t know if it really was just Jim and his nurse the last few years but we’ve only heard that Jim has an older brother. I do wonder who he left his home too and what will become of it. I believe he had a beautiful home in Connecticut. When you mentioned Jim’s bat cave and those strange crystal things I knew exactly what you meant. They looked like something he stole from Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. I could also totally see Jim as a Superman villain, always trying to one up him. Yeah it’s definitely sad knowing Jim’s written his final song. I haven’t tried to listen to any of his music whatsoever yet. It will make me too emotional. Thank you for posting and welcome! Please contribute as much as you’d like. This place use to be the place to be for all things Jim Steinman but unfortunately took a bit of a backseat to social media. Myself and other longtime posters are trying to bring some energy back to this place! > Evan, I agree with you 100%.
