Jim Steinham (Image: Facebook) There’s thunder in the sky, and a killer’s in the bloodshot streets, and Jim Steinman has passed on, taking much of the ’70s with him. The writer of Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell, of Bad For Good, of … er … Bat Out of Hell Two, and numerous other classics including the insane Total Eclipse of the Heart has gone, at the age of 73.
