Pink Floyd - Not Now John / The Fletcher Memorial Home

Taken from a 19-minute "video EP" filmed in 1983 for The Final Cut, essentially four music videos in a continuous sequence, directed by Willie Christie, who was Roger Waters' brother-in-law. Scottish actor Alex McAvoy, who played the teacher in the film version of The Wall, had a prominent role in the video EP. Waters appears (though all but his mouth is silhouetted) as a patient singing the lyrics to a psychologist on the grounds of the Fletcher Memorial Home.

Thats awesome how they got the school master from the wall in the video

The two songs have a curiosity: a common phrase in Italian, a voice that says "... scusi, dov'è il bar?" (...sorry, where's the bar?). At 4:08 and 5:52.

@pfizzbones Yeah, and it was based on worthless spectulations, just like the dot com bust. Remember that? And all of Europe was in a depression during the 20's thanks to the money grad after WW1. There is no such thing as a "free market". The wealthy always create policies to protect their interests.

Unique!!!!!

@pfizzbones As for the beginning of the 20's, we started with a deep recession, and Warren Harding and Coolidge came in, didn't do any government crap, let the free market straighten it out, and had the Roaring 20's, which was a boom time for citizens all over the US.

[pfizzbones]

@JustATadpole No, we had a recession, which would have been a recurring short-lived one, had it not been for Hoover and Roosevelt implementing government-programs,taking over private-businesses, the Smoot-Hawley tariff, which was protectionism, and Roosevelt seizing peoples' gold, the list goes on if you want look at history. We were already heading down the socialist road from Woodrow Wilson, and even Teddy Roosevelt.

[JustATadpole]

@pfizzbones Ah, you mean they're in a depression. Didn't we have depression back in the 1920s, when we were pretty far away from any idea of Socialism?

[pfizzbones]

@JustATadpole Yeah, too bad all those countries are all on the verge of collapse because of it. Too bad that it will be the death of them.

[JustATadpole]

@pfizzbones Yeah, welfare is a shame even though it's reduced poverty in every country welfare was introduced. Damn you socialism, just one step away from Communism!

@beppestarnazza17 Ohhh so awesome! hahaha :)

[pfizzbones]

Too bad Britain and America didn't listen to the advice of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Most on here don't even know who they are. The fight against socialism was taken to them then. Today, we crawl like dependent lemmings to our death, slowly.
