Moon The Loon

[Mudbug]

24th April 1968, Enjoying a wild birthday party Keith Moon drummer with The Who drove his Lincoln car into a Holiday Inn swimming pool. As the party had become out of control, the police were called to put an end to the festivities. Moon, ever keen to avoid the boys in blue snuck outside and got into a Lincoln Continental Limousine and attempted to make a getaway. Unfortunately, in his inebriated state he released the handbrake, and began rolling towards the pool. Moon simply sat back and waited, as the car crashed through the fence around the pool and into the water.

I read somewhere that the London Olympic Committee asked Daltrey and Townshend to perform at the 2012 Olympics, and whether they would be able to ask Keith Moon to rejoin the band.

Is that for real though or a story that someone made up that has become "truth". I find it hard to believe that anyone could ever believe that Moon was going to reach his 40th birthday let alone his 60th leading the life he was.

His sister lives in Queensland. She used to own the pub down the road from me in Tywford in England, emigrated out here in about 2000.
Bit of a random Moon fact.
