Only the first story has ties. Not sure what i was expecting but as a fan of the steinmen and meatloaf I thought I’d give it a try. Other then the first story most seem to have very little connection with the songs themselves. I kept going because I’d thought maybe one of these would actually do something interesting with some of my favourite songs… and no. Do not recommend
