An odd couple waxing lyrical
1998
Overview
Jim Steinman is sitting next to Lord [Andrew] Lloyd-Webber in possibly the scruffiest pub in the seediest part of south London. Steinman, one of America's top song writers (the author of MOR hits such as [Celine] Dion's It's All Coming Back To Me Now and the top- selling rock single of all time, Meat Loaf's I'd Do Anything For Love But I Won't Do That), wears an ice-cream cone whip of long grey hair and a fetching tie depicting a skull and crossbones. Lloyd-Webber is wearing brogues and casuals. Jim Steinman has written the lyrics to Lloyd-Webber's new musical Whistle Down The Wind. He knew the 1961 British film version already because \"there was a movie theatre near my house which showed foreign (sic) films and I was in love with Hayley Mills\". Together, he and Lloyd-Webber have transferred this rather soppy story (bunch of Yorkshire kids discover escaped convict and, convinced he's Jesus Christ, shelter him from grownups) to 1959 Louisiana, where the heat, the music and the religion increase its potential.
