Does anyone remember just how wildly unpredictable the drummer Keith Moon was in his heyday? Here's a quick story to share...
One afternoon, The Who drummer found himself bored and sitting in a suite of a major luxury hotel. Moon had a taste for brandy, and when the liquor and boredom intersected, he was often known to get into a bit of mischief.
And on this occasion, the legendary drummer had spent an entire afternoon inside the prestigious London hotel room painstakingly arranging hundreds of plastic, wind-up chattering teeth.
He lined them up in perfect rows across the grand piano, the bed, and the vanity mirrors. When the hotel manager arrived to discuss a series of noise complaints, Keith simply smiled, wound up the entire army simultaneously, and watched the terrified man stare in awe at the rows and rows of wind-up toy teeth.
"Welcome to the chorus, mate!" he shouted over the loud chattering.
Taken by complete surprise and quite unnerved, the hotel manager fled the room to the lines and lines of a hundred clicking jaws.
Thus is another wondrous story of the one and only Mr. Moon. 😎👑
