I knew Keith Moon when I lived in Battersea, we use to drink together at the Butchers Arms Public House, he did love a pint and playing Bar Billiards, we use to play this for hours. The the Pub got rid of the Bar Billiard table and replaced it with the first computer game, two bats and a ball. We did use this new new contraption as i dont think it had a name for it. We drank together for a long time and he never showed anything unusual a likeable chap. We also had in our company Terrence Kennett (known to us as Chad) drink with us, perfectly normal conversations. However one conversation I remember is he asked my friend Chad to get his very long hair cut, Chad refused, but Keith asked him again, he then got a stronger verbal refusal, so Keith said I will pay you £500, to give you some contex of value this would have been in 1972, you could purchace 8 pints of Guiness for one pound stirling then or 12.5 pence a pint. I did meet Chad a few days later and he had a short Bob haircut, I said did you get the money, oh yes he said, I then said what was that all about, he shrugged his shoulders, and said they took me to Brighton and to some studios in west London for photo shoots on a Scooter. Ok we now know, but it was kept under wraps, Chad was featured on the Quadraphenia Album front cover on a scooter for the Who. I still have more stories to tell all very true about our Keith Moon.

I think his drumming work is fantastic, irreplaceable. His work is a revelation, absolutely. But to balance the picture, don't forget he was an abusive husband and neglectful father. He was bountiful and destructive in equal measure, and it wasn't confined to himself. I had a boyfriend like that---a bipolar-I genius who often destroyed what he had worked so hard to build and couldn't deal with boredom of any kind, and as his attention in older age turned back toward his family connections, wanting acknowledgment from them, he was crushed that his five grown children didn't want much involvement due to all the chaos he had brought to their childhood. He was over it, why weren't they? he wanted to know. (Sigh. He was truly a very special man, and he touched people deeply. And I know his children loved him, and I marveled at their resilience. But they all had mood-disorder challenges of their own---all five of them---and did their best to keep their lives calm and on track. And having Dad around more than just once in a while, was too difficult. It could trigger THEM into bad patterns of excess, just being exposed to his energy.) Gifts like Moon always come with a price, and we'd better not forget that while we're enjoying him. It's the other half of the story

Met Keith and John Late one night at JFK BOAC. They were Flying back to London. I spent a few minutes with them - gotta say I've met many celebs in my life but Keith was by far the most gracious and friendly star I ever had the pleasure to meet. Always remember that night.
