THE WHO - Drums & Drugs: Die letzten Jahre des Keith Moon

The stories about his freaks and escapades aren't all right. It starts with the date of birth.

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.
