The Sea Refuses no River was written about redemption and cleansing.The sea will take in a polluted river and naturally clean it. Pete's wife was the sea and Pete was the river. She threw him out and told him that he could only come home if he went to rehab and get clean.So he did and wrote the song to reference the experience.
Slit Skirts is also about Pete's wife. Pete was out on the road in hotel rooms with prostitutes,while his wife was home being faithful.Prostitutes wear slit skirts.

Pete wrote ATBCHCE while getting clean and sober in California. Several songs on the album are direct references to the experience. For example : Exquisitely Bored in California - Somebody Saved Me - The Sea Refuses No River.
It is rumored that" Somebody Saved Me" was written in reference to Keith Moon but The Who's early manager Kit Lambert had passed away of a heroin overdose just previous of Pete going into rehab. Pete has never mentioned who the song was written about.

Phil Collins played the drums here much better than Mark Brzescki (who I think was badly miming Simon Phillips' parts in the video). Another great version was 1986 Deep End featuring David Gilmour on guitar.

@pjp729...it was the mid 80's.....fashions were all over the place as well.....AND, if your only concerned with the dudes attire and not his guitar...then you missed the boat to The Cat Walk Princess!!

That looks, and sounds like, MICK KARN on Bass. Townsy could always seem to spot the quality young players.
