Keith Moon was more than just rock's greatest drummer, he was also its greatest character and wildest party animal. Fuelled by vast quantities of drink, drugs, insecurities and confusion, Moon destroyed everything with gleeful abandon: drum kits, houses, cars, hotels, relationships and, finally, himself.In Dear Boy, Tony Fletcher has captured lightning in a bottle – the essence of a totally incorrigible yet uniquely generous boy who never grew up, and who changed the lives of all who knew him. From a life distorted by myths of debauchery and comic anarchy, Fletcher has created a searingly personal portrait of the rock legend.From over 100 first-hand interviews, he traces with deadly accuracy Moon's remarkable journey from his working-class Northwest London childhood, through the Who's glory years to the California high-life and a terrible, premature death.Here too are fascinating insights into the history of the Who and the emergent British pop culture revolution of post-war years. Keith Moon was one of the shock troops of that revolution: the world's greatest rock drummer, a phenomenal character and an extravagant hell-raiser who – in a final, uncharacteristic act of grace – actually did die before he got old.

At this time of writing, The Ebook Dear Boy: The Life of Keith Moon has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Ebook is Good TO READ!

This is a richly detailed biography of The Who's genius, but troubled, drummer Keith Moon. I greatly enjoyed reading it, even though I'm not usually into biographies. For the precocious schoolboy who couldn't sit still, the drums were a godsend--Keith never looked back after his first drum lesson, ascending into rock superstardom with Pete, Roger, and John. But while The Who were flying higher than ever, Keith was careening into personal destruction from drugs and alcohol. Tony Fletcher chronicles Keith's life from childhood to his death in 1978, going through every destroyed hotel room, every kicked-over drum set, and seemingly every bottle of brandy. Because Fletcher doesn't spare any details of Keith's rampaging, you feel like you're watching a trainwreck in slow motion.I appreciated that the author gave the women in Keith's life--his ex-wife Kim McLagan and girlfriend at the time of his death, Annette Walter-Lax--space to talk about their experiences with him. Mandy Moon, his daughter, makes a brief appearance as well. Those who actually lived with Keith and had to bear the brunt of his mentally and physically abusive behavior paint a far different picture from the charming prankster Keith of popular reputation. Fletcher doesn't focus so much on Keith's relationships with his Who bandmates, but other individuals like Keith's former personal assistant Dougal Butler, and The Who's management team contribute their experiences. The result is a detailed and well-rounded portrait from multiple perspectives. One other point the book did not touch much on is *why* Keith is considered one of the greatest drummers in rock. What makes him so great? Technical skill? Innovative techniques? It would have been nice if the author provided a little perspective on this. But then again, the book would have easily topped 700 pages if he included that material too. There may be other books that delve into that topic better.
