I never said he is dumb...but if you're not a very close fan - just admire him -and you trace his songs in the progression they were written...you will see how he likes to recycle things - both lyrics and instrumentals - no offense to die hard Steinman's fans. Even Meat Loaf mentions it in his book.
However, I honestly believe that the winter skin is a goof...I absolutely believe that in the content of the song he meant it as fur/warm...but when he put "winter skin" it meant something entirely different which he didn't catch either because he was still young at the time, or because he is a man and doesn't think in the same terms as women - winter skin, i.e. dry, blotchy and generally unattractive...just a curious cute fact...I am sure nobody will take him to court for this - it is just such a small thing...
I know I'd lie for you very well but I have problems finding REO Speedwagon chorus to compare - I am not that familiar with the band. If and when I will find it and listen to it - I will be sure to comment.
