Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. the only Keith Moon book!By LovbladThis was probably the first rock biography that I read. I bought it when it came out based on a review either in MM or NME. I was a big fan of the Who and at the time there were few first account books on a performer. The book was very fresh ans presented a special new way of dealing with rock biographies. Indeed. it was one of the first first peson accounts that presented very personal and intimate episodes in the life of Keith Moon. The book is written with a great deal of love and affection by Dougal Butler who was taking care of of Keith Moon over the years of maximum fame of the Who. While the book emphasizes the extravagant side of Keith Moon and shows how much larger than life he was. it shows at times how unmanageable he was. In this sense it is still the one and only book on Moon that should be bought. I decided to buy it again electronically and it has not at all aged. For anyone interested in the Who. it is indispensable reading.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Essential Reading for the true blue fan of The Who.By P. SchleckWith the performance just this month of Pete Townshend. Roger Daltrey. and Co. at the closing ceremonies of the London Olympics. it is clear that The Who remains a timeless engine of musical inspiration. One needs only to attend a Who concert in the past decade to see fathers and mothers attending with their sons and daughters. Even grandchildren.Yet still. there are times and places in the history of this enormously important band that have been just out of reach for those of us who came of age after Keith Moon left the stage for good. Judging by recent concerts. we are legion. and growing in our ranks. The best news. then. is that some of those times and places live again uproariously through the poignant reminiscences and hilarious story-telling of Keith Moons side-kick. assistant. and dear friend. Peter "Dougal" Butler. I call it essential reading for the true blue fan of The Who. We have the good fortune to see this book again in print.Essential reading. indeed. Here you will ride along in the cars. visit the bars. take to the stages (sometimes falling off your drum kit!) and live just a bit of that life of the rock star.But Keith Moon was more than a rock star. This we know. There was and is no other. No one like Keith Moon.So do not miss out on this chance to live vicariously in that world that was. and remains in our hearts. A talent in a class all his own. Keith Moon could not ask for a better chronicler of his life in all its rich mayhem.Buy this book. You wont regret it. Especially if you missed out "the first time around." "Who" said there are no second chances...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. "MEDICINE." Keith.
