THE WHO - Drums & Drugs: The last years of the Keith Moon
The stories about his freaks and escapades aren't all right. It starts with the date of birth. For decades, August 23, 1947 was considered a fact by biographers, journalists and fellow musicians alike - because it was spread by Moon himself. Only in 1998 the British journalist Tony Fletcher discovered for his 750-page work "Dear Boy - The Explosive Life of Keith Moon" that Moon was exactly one year older: one of many stories that the musician had invented or decorated in such a way that the truth content could often only be guessed at.
