"Moon the Loon: The Amazing Rock'n'Roll Life of Keith Moon" This was writen by Keith's personal assistant
and the best thing about it by far is the glossary of terms/language in the back. I don't have it to hand, but remember it as a saucy rockstar version of that cockney rhyming slang book that everyone has in their toilets. With its aid, one can learn to speak Moon, circa '74. Also on the Who tip, Simon Napier Bell's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" Has some great bits about Kit Lambert and the Who in some orgy styled scenario .it's also the best book about pop ever - he wrote the title song (in ten minutes), and managed Marc Bolan, Wham, and the Yardbirds. There's a chapter on John's Children called "A Bunch of C**ts", where he invents psychedelia, mostly to drown out the incompetence of the band with a wall of noise. And a bit where he meets John Lennon under a table in Soho in 1965. Am I the only person actively avoiding blagging an advance copy of the elpee because I want the perverse thrill of being a pleb and going to buy it with my hard - earned? There's something so cheesy about advance copies, like being in a guestlist queue that's much longer than the real queue. That sneak peek into September was far too terrifying. I'm going to include it in every post between now and October, so's we can see if it comes true or not.
