| And, of course, Steinman - and a good deal of the songs in 'Bat out of Hell' - started in theater. He recycled them as pop hits but they were intended to be show tunes, 50 years ago. | |

| I was about to make the same point. I have no intention of 'defending' Bat Out of Hell, but the most cursory research on Simon's part would reveal that a lot of the material was always intended for a musical theatre production. | |

| Right, I haven't seen it but have no doubt it's something of a hot mess, but it's the hot mess musical Steinman's been working on for years! | |

| JohnPopa, I did not know much about the show until you mentioned this. I did not realize that he literally wrote some of the songs in 1968! It's impressive that he has been working on this for so long. | |
