27 years ago today, Keith Moon died


The legendary and anarchic Keith Moon, drummer for The Who, died on this date in 1978. The world is a quiter and calmer place since his passing. Read about Keith here.

From Wikipedia:

Moon quickly gained a reputation as being highly destructive. He was known to lay waste to hotel rooms, the homes of friends, and even his own domicile, often throwing furniture out of high windows and destroying the plumbing with firecrackers. While he never actually drove a car into a swimming pool, it's not hard to imagine how such a story originated.

He was also one hell of a drummer, perhaps the most influential rock drummer of all.
