Was Bat out of Hell supposed to parody Bruce Springsteen?
I dont think it was originally, atleast not consciously, they seem like classic Jim Steinman musical numbers, it was basically Todd Rundgren that heard that and being the producer helped push it a bit more in that direction. Considering the result a good call in the end.

>>129806047Yes>I thought it was a parody of Bruce Springsteen. Oddly enough, the world took it seriously. There's this big, fat, operatic guy doing totally over the top, over-wrought, drawn-out songs. All this bombast. It was like Bruce Springsteen squared. I was just chuckling the whole time, and I'm still chuckling. I can't believe the world took it seriously.
His name was Robert Paulson.
