I had no organized religion, less restrictions and structure than most of my peers growing up, so Keith Moon seemed like going to edge of that. Many kids in liberal families go down similar roads for a time and come back.<BR/>But understanding my need to be the center of attention (at times to my detriment) was a much harder lesson to learn and frankly SEE. One can turn around and realize they are onstage all the time and that most of their friends and family are very, very tired of sitting through the same act. They can also forget they realize and go right back into the pattern...<BR/>I wish he had made it and was blogging with us all today. He was the number one Who fan too, he loved Pete as much as we all do.Amanda and SuperAmanda™https://www.blogger.com/profile/11405128770699138128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15795304.post-1136265775053022152006-01-03T05:22:00.000+00:002006-01-03T05:22:00.000+00:00You wanted to be KEITH?

But some people are just cooler than others. G-d loves us all, but that's just the way it is!<BR/>In my real world, I've known some looney but lovable people. I've known really cool, hip and enlightened people. I have also known my share of complete fools and total jerks. I've known cool hip people, that when drinking or drugging, they turn into total jerks or they become even more endearing or they die.<BR/>Keith Moon seemed to be all of these. I just wish he had the chance to break through to the other side. <BR/>I wish the universe would have heeded the sign on the chair that Keith sat in for the Who Are You album......lryicsgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786349321068281627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15795304.post-1136255440027256542006-01-03T02:30:00.000+00:002006-01-03T02:30:00.000+00:00Aw Amanda - what a great post.I have also come to ...Aw Amanda - what a great post.<BR/>I have also come to the same conclusion about rock "gods" (i.e. Pete) of course they are mere mortals - extremely talented mere mortals.<BR/>That's so cool that you are named after Mandy though!<BR/>I don't think there will EVER be a band quite like the Who.

I don't know what will come in the future. Pete, Keith, John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger are the people who I will always care about most in my life. Of course, I say this now but I'm sure it'll change when I meet someone and fall in love, but I don't know... It's sad that my family and friends don't come first. <BR/>I loved this post, and the picture were great. A couple I haven't seen before.<BR/>I bet Pete would like this post as well.<BR/>Thanks for checking out my song!

My friends and they're dead!"<BR/><BR/>So very true. Fans tend to idolize and mythologize everything Keith did. The common image is that he was a loony of mythical proportions and everything he did was brilliant, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>What I know of Keith is that he was a brilliant drummer and did a lot of crazy things that are not really something to emulate. I *would* have liked to know him for real, though.E.L.

It also makes most of your loved ones very bitter towards you. You are also quite right in saying it is hard on the body and exhausting. <BR/><BR/>I like that Pete Townshend quote. It's true. While everyone else is thinking how wonderful and romantic the rock and roll life is, these "idols" are friends, fathers, brothers, and husbands to others. The damage they do to themselves, and everyone around them, is not so romantic from that point of view.<BR/><BR/>Cool post. You know, my boyfriend and I were getting called Pete and Moonie for a while in the summer. (A few wacky drinking binges, and the fact he looks like a younger Pete...) I looked up Pete Townshend to check and see if the comparison held any water. It does, and that is how I found the blog. Crazy world, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>JackRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862092109720968496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15795304.post-1136185430285002022006-01-02T07:03:00.000+00:002006-01-02T07:03:00.000+00:00I saw you like to quote monty python, so I thought...I saw you like to quote monty python, so I thought I'd give it a go.
