I was away at summer camp in 1979 when was an activist group founded in 1979 by Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Bonnie Raitt, and John Hall founded an activist group called Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE). The group advocated against the use of nuclear energy, forming shortly after the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in March of that year.
MUSE organized a series of five No Nukes concerts held at Madison Square Garden in New York. That September almost 200,000 people attended a large rally staged by MUSE on the then-empty north end of the Battery Park City landfill.
I managed to get a copy of the album No Nukes. I was in high school. It was the cool thing to do. Who could resist Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Chaka Khan, The Doobie Brothers, Jesse Colin Young, Gil Scott-Heron, Tom Petty, Poco and others on the same bill with the musicians stated above?
I was in adolesence: Cool musicians. Cool album. Therefore, I was against "Nukes."
