  1. But what would they play? Pete only had two songs ready for the new album and the failure of The Who to respond to the Face Dances material was foremost on his mind. "Before we started recording, I sat down with everybody and I said, 'listen, what's the fucking album going to be about? What are we going to say? I can't just go and write a load of songs again and bring them in and hope that you're going to feel good about them or hope that they are going to be right for the band or hope that the band's fans are going to think that they are right for the band. Let's at least all decide how we want the album to fucking sound, whether we want it to be different or old sounding, open or loose or tight or what, and even further, what we actually want the subject of the songs to be about before we commit ourselves and then at least we know when we've completed the album, we won't feel like we did about Face Dances.'"


    "'What do you want to fucking sing about? Tell me, and I'll write the songs. D'you wanna sing about race riots? D'you wanna sing about the nuclear bomb? D'you wanna sing about soya bean diets? Tell me!' And everyone kinda went, 'Uhhh.' So I said, 'Shall I tell you what I think we should be singing about?' So I told 'em. And it actually turned into a debate...what was it that each one of us shared, our common ground? Well, after establishing quite quickly that there was very little common ground, we did find that we all cared very deeply about the planet, the people on it, about the threat to our children from nuclear war, of the increasing instability of our own country's politics."

  11. The Who were hardly alone in being concerned. Most of Europe was then terrified of the worsening situation between the United States and the Soviet Union. At the end of 1979 the NATO alliance had agreed to base 572 nuclear-tipped U.S. Cruise missiles in Europe.

    Reagan and Thatcher also agreed on something else, the weakening or elimination of national government-funded social programs to aid the poor. Britain exploded with riots in the spring and summer of 1981 in areas such as Brixton and Liverpool where unemployment was high.

    Others were taking to the streets of Europe and the U.S. as well in 1981 and 1982 to protest both nuclear power and armaments. Hundreds of thousands marched all over Europe in what was known as the "No Nukes" movement.

    It reached its zenith during the recording of It's Hard as 800,000 marched in New York City before attending a massive "No Nukes" concert in Central Park headed by Bruce Springsteen.
