...resulting recording was first played back in hospital nurseries. Says Virginia Purdy, nursery supervisor at Fort Lauderdale's Holy Cross Hospital: "It's the most boring sound you've ever heard. It drives the help crazy." But the help noticed that infants usually dozed off within 15 seconds after the womb sounds began. That led to Rock-A-Bye-Bear which, with sales of 25,000 so far, may well be the sleeper of the year...
...result of OPEC's policies, worldwide inflation has been sent soaring to ever increasing heights. Meanwhile, global economic growth has stalled and the international financial system itself has been thrown into turmoil. In 1980, oil-importing nations expect to hit what economic jargoneers have labeled a "synchronized recession." Now no one can be sure how high the cartel will push oil prices beyond their present official maximum of $23.50 per bbl., but demand for petroleum makes a substantial increase certain.

No other group, in return, has ever had so much asked of it by an audience...
Society sometimes does not get the message, and that only seems to push The Who harder. The power and unpredictability of the group, along with its longstanding and much vaunted intramural volatility ("We've been breaking up ever since the day we started," says Vocalist Roger Daltrey), are a large measure of its appeal and, ironically, the core of much of its strength. It is also the source for a good deal of discomfort and antagonism among those who take rock music casually, and especially among those who would like never to put up with...
