Tribute To Legends: Closed Circuit

"The Fletcher Memorial Home For Incurable Tyrants and Kings

And they can appear to themselves every day On closed circuit TV To make sure they're still real"

Inspired by the song and lyrics "The Fletcher Memorial Home" in The Final Cut Album by Pink Floyd, 1983 Written by Roger Waters

The song serves as a critique of political leaders and their actions, particularly those who are responsible for violence, war, and oppression. The lyrics of the song express a sense of disillusionment and anger towards these leaders and their disregard for human life.

The title, "The Fletcher Memorial Home," refers to a fictional institution where these political leaders would be placed and held accountable for their actions. The name "Fletcher" is a reference to the British politician Andrew Fletcher, who believed in the supremacy of Parliament and the need for leaders to be held accountable.

The song lists several political figures throughout history who are condemned for their deeds, including Winston Churchill, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, and others. It highlights specific events and decisions associated with these leaders, such as the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the Watergate scandal, and the Falklands War.
