I read the following just recently on a page for the WHO.
A thing written by a supposed fan of Keith Moon. I can only imagine how annoying we fans are to our beloved idols.
.......................
Note: I was a die-hard Who fan of the highest order. I had a few drinks too many and what happened did happen...
I saw The Who in Seattle, Washington on March 25, 1976. After the show (which was great!), I made my way to the infamous Edgewater Hotel, of ill repute, at Pier 67 on the Seattle waterfront. When I arrived at the lobby, I saw Keith Moon, sporting his short-lived beard. I approached Keith and blurted, "I saw you on Merv Griffin!" He stopped and thought for a brief second, and he responded sarcastically, "Merv, he's such a swerve!" and walked off into the Edgewater lounge (the bar!) I followed behind him and as he stood in front of the bar, I said, "Let me buy you a drink!" The bartender was standing in front of us, waiting to take our order. Keith said, with a flourish, "Brandy Alexander !" I said; "Rum and Coke." The events continued to unfold, with hilarious results. At one point, Keith looked at me and admonished, "Trying to steal our chief songwriters ideas?", with raised eyebrows!! Later, Pete looked around, patting his pockets, and exclaimed, "Where's Keith?" He looked around and soon found him, unconscious on the floor by the entrance to the bar. He frantically asked someone for a Bic lighter. He turned it around for a few seconds, finding the proper "life-saving" setting. He kneeled down and touched the lighter to Keith's nose. A moment later, Keith opened his eyes, and with such relief, got up to say, "You've saved me Pete!" and kissed him on the lips! A while later, Keith was standing in front the open elevator. He looked around, and quickly stepped inside the elevator. A group of fans got in the elevator with him. But as the doors were beginning to close, Keith jumped out, then the crowd jumped out. Then doors were starting close again, he quickly jumped in, and I quickly jumped in with him. The doors closed and the two of us were in it going up together. When we reached the 2nd floor, Keith started running down the hallway, stopping to pick up the metal cylindrical ashtray, lift it over his head and hurl it at me down the hall. I sidestepped the hurling ashtray nearly missing it hit me. I continued to follow him, but then I realized that Keith was unlocking his hotel room door, and quickly went in, closing and locking the door behind him. I gave it a feeble knock, sighed and walked back towards the elevator, thinking to myself: "I met Keith Moon!"
