I've Known No War



Regarding "I've Known No War", the line is:

    "On the 19th Day of a spring day in May,
     Albert Speer was deleted."

Considering the end of WWII was in 1945, this was the day that Pete
Townshend was born. He's basically saying that World War II ended right
around when he was born and that he's never lived through a war.  This
song came out during the height of the Cold War, where nuclear disaster
seemed very possible.  Awesome song.
