I think that if Jim said that he would like to make another album with Meat that Meat would jump at that chance. Well, actually, no. I'm pretty sure of it. But is it something that should happen? That's the question. I don't know. But certainly I think there could be an album like "Songs from Whistle down the Wind" with Meat singing on one or two tracks with a bunch of other celebrities. Meat and Bonnie's version of "A kiss is a terrible thing to waste" is one of the strongest tracks from the album (whereas I think "When children rule the world" is probably the weakest.) Also, I can imagine there being two versions of "Body" like "Whistle down the Wind" first with Tina Arena, which was released as a single, and then Lottie Mayor and Andrew Lloyd Webber at the cast, or Meat Loaf doing "Home by now/No matter what" which for some reason never made the album, only the compilation instead. Now I'm not saying that I wouldn't love another between the two of them, I just don't know how it will go across if it ever got off the ground. It's hard enough dealing with all these songs from "Dead ringer" that could have been bigger than they were. > > HIAHB makes it so clear that Meat is "over" Jim... > > I mean, really?? > > Who said that?
