Back in print, Moon is the brilliant and heralded biography of one of
rock & roll's most notorious and beloved figures: The Who's legendary
drummer Keith Moon.
Moon was the bad boy of rock & roll, the most manic member of an
aggressive and fabulously successful band, a full-throttle hedonist who
lived at the center of an unending party. He was also a musical genius
who inspired whole generations of artists, a generous friend to nearly
everyone who crossed his path, a guileless man of immense personal charm
to whom the sweetest sound on earth was surf music. A generation after
his death, Moon is still revered as the greatest drummer in rock history
and the single wildest personality in an age of pop excess. Here is the
truth behind the legend, the result of years of research in which music
journalist Tony Fletcher interviewed dozens of Moon's friends,
colleagues, and associates. An instant classic that brilliantly
illuminates both the tender and self-destructive sides of this singular
personality, Moon is the story of one of the most outrageous rock
stars ever born.
