When the Moon Comes Over the Mirren
Dame Helen on Conan O'Brien, 2008.
Okay, its not the greatest Keith Moon story ever, but I had never heard it, and it's pretty damn funny anyway. And, of course, Mirren.
In any case, I forget who said it, but it's true -- the Brits should have nationalized Moonie.
Great story.
ReplyDeleteMoon was one insane cat. In a good way, that is...
ReplyDeleteNo wonder he was called, Moon The Loon ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou had to see this guy play - saw him in 69, 200 people in club. He had the French Postcard drum set
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read the great Tony Fletcher Keith Moon bio, run, don't walk.
