The Fletcher Memorial Home

Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere

and build them a home a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial
home for incurable tyrants and kings

and they can appear to themselves every day
on closed circuit t.v.
to make sure they're still real
it's the only connection they feel

Halliburton: the bucks stop there.

Sweet Pink Floyd reference!  And here I thought I was probably the only one who actually bought the Final Cut...

I guess I am showing my age by saying that I bought The Final Çut the day it was released.  It is an album as likely to be in the chickenhawk music collection as Dylan's "Masters of War."

You age is certainly nothing to be ashamed of.  I was born between 'Animals' and 'The Wall' and have been trying ever since to catch up with all the great music I missed out on.

I was listening to The Wall just the other day, and thought that 'Bring the Boys Back Home' would make a great rallying song for the movement to get a timetable on getting troops back from Iraq.

the first time I ever heard Animals all the way through -- it was 1979 and I was sitting in a jeep with a friend of mine looking out over the lights of Tucson from a nice little place in the desert foothills...

Even though I have only been here at BT a short while, I consider it my shelter from pigs on the wing.

I want something else, to get me through this, semi-charmed kinda life..

From Animals:

"Hey you, Whitehouse:  haha, charade you are"

Now, just to be accurate, this was aimed at a specific British person named Whitehouse--but out of context, it fits the current state of our nation perfectly.
