amazing

the best book ive ever read. it has some amazing unknown facts about moonies life. like his involvement with marylon worshipers.(trust me he wasnt one)

Time For a Reprint!

It's too bad this book is out of print, because these are the adventures (many very funny but in the end very sad) of one the greatest (if not THE greatest) drummers of all time. And besides that, it's written by a guy who knew Moonie and witnessed his antics 1st hand. I wish the guy who's trying to make a screenplay the best of luck. The next step after consulting Butler is to get permission from the Who to use their songs. To close this review, I'd like to paraphrase the last sentence in the book, "Keith Moon ups and [very] well dies."

The funniest book I've ever read

Nobody lived his life like Keith Moon. Those who knew him were astounded at his all consuming passion to get everything possible out of life. Dougal Butler has written, in a unique and incredibly humorous way, the best book I've yet read about the life and incredible times of Keith Moon. Don't miss this one. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Wonderful review by someone who knew him best!

Dougal did an excellent job relaying the tragic story of his dear friend.

Hard to find, but worth the time spent

Even if you're not a fan of The Who or Keith Moon, this book is quite entertaining. For those who are, there's no better book. Dougal has seen it all, so who better to tell the story besides one of the bandmembers?
