�� Ronda ♪ I really had it in my mind to do a musical of "1984." It was a book that I'd loved
all through my youth, but of course, I didn't really
take into account the second Mrs. Orwell, who, when she got wind
of what we were doing, absolutely put her foot down
and said, "Not having
rock-and-roll people "work on my late husband's great piece of work." And I thought, "Oh, sorry,

I really had it in my mind
00:00:04.833 --> 00:00:08.083
to do a musical of "1984."
00:00:08.083 --> 00:00:10.833
It was a book that I'd loved all through my youth,
00:00:10.833 --> 00:00:14.166
but of course, I didn't really take into account
00:00:14.166 --> 00:00:15.958
the second Mrs. Orwell,
00:00:15.958 --> 00:00:18.000
who, when she got wind of what we were doing,
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.624
absolutely put her foot down and said,
00:00:19.624 --> 00:00:21.998
"Not having rock-and-roll people
00:00:21.998 --> 00:00:23.208
"work on my late husband's
00:00:23.208 --> 00:00:24.416
great piece of work."
00:00:24.416 --> 00:00:26.000
And I thought, "Oh,
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.998
sorry, I'll do me own version then."
00:00:28.998 --> 00:00:29.416
- That's a naught.
