Here are a few short Keith Moon stories. If you want an entertaining book…get Full Moon by Keith Moon’s assistant. Peter “Dougal” Butler.
I didn’t get all the Keith Moon posts out yesterday so I wanted to post this today…I made sure all of these were short so it would not take too much time.
Helen Mirren’s Keith Moon Story
Alice Cooper “If you could live with him…he was the best drummer of all time”

Great story from Helen Mirren. She’s one of my favorite actors. Very cool.

I don’t think so. You love the guy. Nothing wrong with that. He was a fantastic musician. I usually don’t say that about drummers–not that they are inferior, but they’re in a class by themselves. But Moon transcended that, for me. There are other drummers as consequential to me, but I know that Moon is top of the tops for you.

My favorite story from Dougal’s book remains “How Moonie Did the Screwing and I Got the Clap.”
These are all great. Thank you!

Oh yea the standing ovation…I loved that. I now have the audio version and the guy who narrates it is the young actor in the book that Keith tried to help…And of course I have the hard copy also.

Cooper seems to really think a lot of him. I love hearing his stories about him.

Oh my lord. He was just wide open 24/7. I read, somewhere, some years ago that he was suspected to be on the autism spectrum. Uncontrolled chaos…whew.

I just love the guy lol. I’ve read where John Belshui was like that to a point but not that extreme.
