Timeline

The story of Keith Moon, told in moments.

1964 Event

Joined the Who at 17 after sitting in uninvited at a gig and demolishing the drum kit. His style was chaos with precision. He didn't keep time so much as attack it.

Did demolishing the drum kit at that uninvited audition feel like destiny? Was your style chaos or precision? What did the Who see in you that scared everyone else?

1967 Life

Drove a Lincoln Continental into the swimming pool of a Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan. Flushed cherry bombs down hotel toilets. Blew up his drum kit on The Smothers Brothers. Hotels banned the Who.

Why drive a car into a hotel swimming pool? Were the cherry bombs and explosions performance or just life? Did getting banned from hotels feel like a badge of honor?
