David Bowie 1984

For some reason, David Bowie's song 1984 made me automatically think of this book i am reading which quiescently is also called 1984. I began to listen to the song and it kinda reminded even more of this book i am reading called 1984. One line says they well split your skull open and fill it with hot air. meaning kinda of fill it with nonsense or information that is useless to ones self. This represents how in 1984 they try to make the genral population ignorant of whats happening in the world and have them try to cover up information or change it so that they well follow the government blindly. We played out an all night movies role, meaning they just played their parts for the greater good, without looking at it as a whole. In 1984 they just played small parts for the greater country of oceania. without any of them knowing of what is really going on as a whole country. I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65, when it says this its referring to the past when thing where different and they had more freedom. In the book Winston refers to the past allot and how things have changed and he has allot less freedom then use to have. And he is wishing for that freedom he use to have.
