Did anyone see 'rocks greatest hellraisers' on CH4 the other night? I only saw the countdown from 10-1 and was shocked that 'Keith Moon' wasn't number 1 let alone not in the top ten, most of them were there cos' they took a lot of drugs and banged a load of whores... Keith did all that and so much more.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

Have you read the book "Dear Boy" - if not, you should - great read....
During an appearance on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour television show, he overloaded a drum with explosive charges which were detonated during the finale of "My Generation", which according to legend resulted in permanent hearing damage (not to mention singed hair) for bandmate Pete Townshend (which Townshend denies) and caused Bette Davis to faint.
One of the most famous stories concerns him driving a Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool - it is currently disputed whether this event occurred, with his biographer, Tony Fletcher, denying it, and Roger Daltrey claiming to have witnessed the resulting $50,000 bill.[4] From his known behaviour, however, it is not hard to see how such a story could originate. It appears to have been two stories merged together. While in Flint, Michigan, Moon threw a party after a Who show; subsequently, the manager was called with complaints from the other guests. When the manager came to Moon's door and saw all of the drinking and smoking, he demanded the party be stopped and that Moon should leave. As the manager spoke, Moon picked up a cake and shoved it in his face. Moon was then thrown out of the room by the manager. In a drunken stupor Moon used a fire extinguisher on some random cars and then jumped into the swimming pool which had no water in it. He snapped one of his teeth completely off and later had it re-glued. The other portion of the car driving into a swimming pool story comes from the story when Moon was at his home and had an argument with his wife, Kim, and he claimed he was going to commit suicide after the argument heated up. He drove his Rolls-Royce into their home pond, and Moon came swimming out from under the water, apparently laughing.
