What has my self worth got to do with anything? No, don't answer that. I'll be dead by the time I finish reading the reply.

I am QUITE familiar with Wagner's work, including "Der Ring Des Niebelungen", thank you.

Everyone knows Steinman's inspired by Wagner. What's your point?

No, he didn't. Look, let's discuss this mad little story you have happening in your head? Where did it come from? Did you really know Jim Steinman as a kid? Did you both go to the same school together? Were you friends? How long did you know him for? Were you in an accident that gave you some sort of mental or physical scarring? It's possible that you really *did* know Jim, but you were put through such a traumatic experience that you've turned totally mental. These things happen every day. Can you possibly remember or know why you're making up all these stories today?
