SynopsisRenowned party animal and phenomenal drummer for The Who, Keith Moon lived fast and died young. Not a typical biography, this compendium of stories, facts, photos, and analysis is divided up by subject and details all aspects of Moon's personal and professional life. Among the topics discussed are his promising film career, his unique drumming style, his obsessions and addictive personality, and a notorious period in the 1970s called "the lost weekend." Interviews and commentary from some of his closest friends and contemporaries, such as Viv Stanshall, Harry Nilsson, Frank Zappa, and Screaming Lord Sutch, and more than 60 photographs fill in the details of Moon's short life., As a drummer with The Who between 1964 and because,of his untimely death in 1978, Moon's reputation,as The Wildest of Them All tended to overshadow,this icon of Rock and Roll excess's other,achievements. As a drummer, Moon had no equal.,More than a traditional biography, this book is a,compendium of essays and pictures revealing much,about Moon that was previously unknown. Moon,remains one of the most legendary figures of the,rock age and this book not only cements his,extreme reputation further, but also debunks,many of the myths about this rock 'n' roll icon., While Keith Moon will always be known first as The Wild Man Of Rock and second as contemporary music's most unique and energetic drummer, such descriptions are far from conclusive. So where previous works have concentrated largely on these aspects of Moon's character, Instant Party - Musings, Memories and Minutiae takes a more rounded view of the man and the circumstances that affected his tragically short life. Not a regular, chronological biography, this book comprises a series of stand alone chapters covering areas of Keith's life which have often gone undocumented.
