1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: Disgraceland as a production of Double Elvis. The stories about 2 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: Keith Moon, drummer for The Who, are insane. He regularly 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: destroyed his drum kits on stage. He trashed hotel rooms 4 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: all over the world, reportedly getting banned from the Holiday 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: Inn chain for life. He supposedly drove a Rolls Royce 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: into a swimming pool or was it a Lincoln Continental. 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: His band The Who, purveyors of Maximum R and B 8 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: at first led the rough and tumble, high fashioned mod 9 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: movement through the pubs of London before exploding onto the 10 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: American scene as part of the British invasion. Keith Moon 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: was the prototype for rock drummers, both on and off stage. 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: His approach to drumming was wholly unique. His stage presence 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: was magnetic, his personality electric, and he was hilarious. People 14 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: loved Keith Moon, most people anyway. Keith Moon never tired 15 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: of his mad cap, sometimes violent, always hilarious, drunken and 16 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: drugged hijinks. But a crew of British skinheads took issue 17 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: with the drummer's rock star excess and the results were disastrous. 18 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: But despite his reckless and violent behavior, Keith Moon made 19 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: great music that music you heard at the top of 20 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: the show That wasn't great music. That was a preset 21 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: loop from my mellotron called yes our Violin's low M four. 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: I played you that loop because I can't afford the 23 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: rights for rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head by 24 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: bj Thomas. And why would I play you that specific 25 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: slice of sun dancing Butcher on a Bicycle Cheese? Could 26 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: I afford it? Because that was the number one song 27 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: in America on January fourth, nineteen seventy And that was 28 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: the day that Keith Moon, drummer for The Who, get 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: behind the wheel of his Bentley and went for what 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: would prove to be a very short, but very gruesome drive. 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: On this episode Butch Cheese, mad cap hijinks, Maximum R 32 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: and b ultra violence named Keith Moon. I'm Jake Brennan, 33 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: and this is disgracelited. Keith Moon wasn't just going to 34 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: keep time. He couldn't just keep time. That was what 35 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: drummers did. Keith Moon wasn't a drummer. He was a deconstructionist. 36 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: The drums were his chosen instrument of destruction, and his 37 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: band The Who were using that destructive behavior to capitalize 38 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: on England's newest mod craze, and right now, while bashing 39 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: away wildly at his oyster pearl Ludweed kit, Keith Moon 40 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: was making the mods happy. You couldn't tell by the 41 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: perpetual poet on their faces, or by the fact that 42 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: they were dancing with their heads down, of course, moving 43 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: their arms like Stone Frankenstein's to the beat on the 44 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: dance floor. The Mods were smartly dressed teenagers in tight 45 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: tailored trousers and winklepicker shoes whose anti social behavior was 46 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: matched only by their love of Black American R and 47 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: B music. And there were Mods because they saw themselves 48 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: as modernists, the first British teenagers since the end of 49 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: World War II. They'd had it with the scruffy, uptight, 50 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: classiest social norms that had handcuffed their parents emotionally and culturally. 51 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: The old world could piss off. It was nineteen sixty 52 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: four and this was the modern world. The old rules 53 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: didn't apply, which is why Keith Moon, in his fuck 54 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: all postmodern approach to drumming, appeal to the Mods. He 55 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: was a musical deconstructionist. Keith Moon didn't just play the 56 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: beat as rock drummers before him had On the drums, 57 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: he played the guitar riff his lanky bandmate Pete Townsend 58 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: was savagely beating out of his wrickenbocker. On the drums, 59 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: he played the bassline for his dapper ox of a 60 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: bass player, John Entwhistle that he was warping out of 61 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: his bass. And when Keith Moon became bored with those two, 62 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: he focused on the singer the Street Tough from Shepherd's 63 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Bush with the chip on his shoulder, Roger Daltrey. Keith 64 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: would match the anger of Roger's vocals note for note, 65 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: hit for hit on his kit. It was as if 66 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: his bandmates pulled him aside before each show and we're like, hey, Keith, 67 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: we've been talking, and you know, we don't think you're 68 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: very good man. You don't really play with enough heart. 69 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: And so as a result, Keith would then go ape 70 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: shit behind his kit in an effort to prove them 71 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: all wrong. He wasn't a drummer, he was a fucking 72 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: jet engine with octopus arms. And like I said, the 73 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: Mods loved him and they loved his band too. The 74 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Who exciting violent even just like the Mods, the band 75 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: were also pent up teenagers ready for a tussle, dressed 76 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: right for a beach fight, looking for any excuse to 77 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: bust the old world in the face, and that's what 78 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: the first beach fights in nineteen sixty four were all about. 79 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: The British press thought teenage hooligans were about to take 80 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: over the country, but really it was just a bunch 81 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: of mods out of school on holiday, bared and getting 82 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: into it with the rockers. The rockers were the antithesis 83 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: of the mods, leather jacket clad, pomp adored greasers who 84 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: were stuck on James Dean and Marlon Brando Old World Yesterday. 85 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: They rode motorcycles, fucked that working class nonsense. Mods rode 86 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: scooters or parkas. They were the youthful smart set, and 87 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: despite their peacocky carnaby street suit wearing ways, they weren't 88 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: averse to cracking a the mouth with a fistful rolled 89 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: up coins. Violence was the ultimate rebellion, the ultimate fuck 90 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: you to the previous generation. So when they heard about 91 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: a band whose drummer played like a wild boar and 92 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: heat and who destroyed their instruments on stage, they were 93 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: sold The Railway Hotel, London nineteen sixty four a dank 94 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: hole in the wall more basement than proper club. The 95 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: Who Dressed to Kill were on stage, barreling through Smokey 96 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: Robinson and the Miracles. I Get a dance to keep 97 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: from crying, but with none of the motown sheen at 98 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: the railway. Under the guidance of the Who, the song 99 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: was wroth, dirty and mean. The singer, dressed head to 100 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: toe in white jeans and cruse sweater wrap around blackfly sunglasses, 101 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: leaned into the mic with menace. The bassist, tall brooding 102 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: eyes surveying the was contempt casually anchored the song. The drummer, 103 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: his big eyes two moons, sitting impatiently behind his kit 104 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: like a jack in a box about to explode. And 105 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: the guitar player, wearing his guitar up high like an ascot, 106 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: jerking about in a way that made the mods in 107 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: the audience question whether or not he was actually all 108 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: right in the head. The four of them were impossibly cool, 109 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: and they sounded at the time better than any band 110 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: on the planet. In the middle of a song, Pete, 111 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: the guitar player, in an over excited moment, accidentally bashed 112 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: the head of his guitar through the low ceiling above 113 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: the stage, the neck on the guitar snapped and the 114 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: Mods laughed. Pete picked up his backup guitar without missing 115 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: a beat and played it off like it was meant 116 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: to happen. Beyond cool. Word quickly spread around London about 117 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: a mod band that was fresh out of focks to give, 118 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: and the following week, a larger crowd gathered at the 119 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: Railway for the Who's Next show. Pete knew what the 120 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: crowd was there for and refused to give them what 121 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: they wanted. Keith, on the other hand, displeased with the 122 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: disappointed crowds tepid response to their performance, booted his kick 123 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: drum across the stage at the end of the set. 124 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: Here is this what you came for, A fucking side show. 125 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: We'll take this. The audience loved it. The Who were 126 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: hooligans just like them, so the next week, when they 127 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: showed up in even larger numbers in anticipation of more 128 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: on stage, Shenanigans Townshend lost it. At the climax of 129 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: the band's set, he grabbed his rickenbacker by the neck 130 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: and smashed it against the stage, and when the body 131 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: of the guitar failed to break off clean, Pete grabbed 132 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: the neck tighter and spun himself around, bringing what was 133 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: left to the guitar flailing into his amplifier behind him. 134 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: That did it. The guitar, once an instrument, now a 135 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: thing of violence. It was toast. The audience was stunned, 136 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: and so was the band. Keith, not to be outdone, 137 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: rose up out of his seat behind his kit and 138 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: kicked his bass drum across the stage. Then the toms 139 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: standing legs spread. He played a fast war cry crescendo 140 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: on his symbols before tossing them aside too. The Who 141 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: then left the stage and left the audience begging for more. 142 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't long after the railway shows before The Who exploded. 143 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: The smashing of instruments was now a patented part of 144 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: their performances. But it wasn't a gimmick. It was a 145 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: true violent expression of angst, and it took nothing away 146 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: from The Who's prowess. In the studio, the band banged 147 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: out a quick set of electric teenage anthems. I can't 148 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: explain anyway anyhow anywhere in my generation all took teenagers 149 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: through the UK by the throat, turned them upside down 150 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: and shook the change out of their trousers, like the 151 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: young street tufts. They were things they do look awful cold. 152 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: Hope I die before I get old. Success came quick 153 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: and was the perfect grease for the band member's rough 154 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: and manic behavior. Drinking became sport. It was the mid 155 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: sixties and it was the music business, so drugs, of course, 156 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: were everywhere, and the entire band partook. But Keith Moon 157 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: went at it with a special vigor. Doing drugs, drinking booze. 158 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: It was a test of will for Keith, imbibing, men 159 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: partying and partying, men having fun and having fun. Well, 160 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: wasn't that what this is all about? Wasn't that why 161 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: he was in the business, To have a good time, 162 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: To not have responsibilities, I mean, other than entertaining people, 163 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: which he seemed genetically inclined more than anyone else to do. 164 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: His energy was manic. He never stopped entertaining on stage 165 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: off stage, it didn't matter. Off of the stage, he'd 166 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: arrange any number of pranks, practical jokes, improvised bits to 167 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: get friends to laugh. Wiring the opening band's drum kit 168 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: with explosives, check driving your rolls Royce through downtown and 169 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: blasting fake public service announcements detailing non existent threats through 170 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: a bullhorn impending title ways, Everyone leave town now, Dangerous 171 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: snakes slithering through the streets. You must evacuate. The government 172 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: is relocating the country's entire immigrant population to the south 173 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: side of your town. Lock your doors, wicked and appearing 174 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: in court dressed in full Nazi regalia to settle a 175 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: beef with neighbor Steve McQueen. No joke, it happened, Look 176 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: it up. Keith pulled this shit constantly, and he was hilarious. 177 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: He was the type of funny that made you buckle over, 178 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: made snot run out of your nose, made your jaw 179 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: hurt from laughing so much, and he literally never stopped 180 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: his ongoing quest to make his friends act actually die. 181 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: Laughing was so constant that they'd beg him to quit it, 182 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: and when he didn't, when he couldn't, they'd inevitably end 183 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: up asking themselves if he was all right in the head, 184 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: And when they'd come up short of an answer, their 185 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: next questions would be, how long can this guy keep 186 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: this up? How long can this guy keep living this way? 187 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: The drug use was only part of it. Sure, The 188 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: drugs fueled the manic behavior, but it was more about 189 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: his hype level. It was hardwired to eleven plus ten charisma. 190 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: How does living that loud not take its toll? Getting 191 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: Keith to slow down was like asking a shooting star 192 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: to down shift to save energy. It just wasn't going 193 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: to happen. Everyone knew this star was going to burn 194 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: out and that it was likely going to take some 195 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: casualties with it along the way. One of those casualties 196 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: was almost his guitar player Pete Townsend, when in September 197 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty seven, while appearing on the Smothers Brother's 198 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: comedy Hour television show, Keith as a joke, wired his 199 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: own drum kit to explode with three times the requisite 200 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: explosive material. The kit was set to blow up on 201 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: screen following the band's live performance, and the explosion not 202 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: only freaked out the show's hosts in the audience, but 203 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: it also set Pete's hair on fire and partially deafened 204 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: him for life in one ear. No worries though, despite 205 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: the damage, it was hysterical and Keith got the laugh 206 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: he was looking for. We'll be right back after this 207 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: word word word. As the sixties progressed, The Who would 208 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: set about to pummel their fans with hits substitute. The 209 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: kids are all right, happy Jack, Pictures of Lily I 210 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: can see for Miles. Magic Bus and Pinball Wizard cruised 211 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: up the UK and US charts and cemented The Who 212 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: as one of the premier rock and roll bands of 213 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: the sixties. But while the rest of the counterculture obsessed 214 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: over peace and love, The Who couldn't shake their violent nature. 215 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: Five Am Bethel, New York, August seventeenth, nineteen sixty nine, Woodstock. 216 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Half a million people scattered about oh Man Yascar's farm, 217 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: drugged out, sleeping in mud, reveling in their own filth, 218 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: literally like picks. Pete Townsend was tuning his own guitar 219 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: because The Who wasn't getting paid fuck all for the 220 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: gig and couldn't afford a proper crew. He was annoyed Americans, 221 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: he thought crazy. The rest of the band didn't seem 222 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: to mind. John was happy. There were plenty of loose 223 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: American women running about, and Roger was off somewhere doing 224 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: who knows what. At least he wasn't complaining into the 225 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: one good ear Pete had left, and Keith Keith was 226 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: happy because his boys from Shannah Naw were performing, but 227 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: Pete wanted to get the gig over with and get 228 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the hell out of there. Pete stewed while he tuned 229 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: his Gibson SG Peace, Love and Happiness more like mud drugs. 230 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: The hippies grossed Pete out, plus the majority of them 231 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: were full of shit. Meet the new boss, same as 232 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: the old boss. Let's get this bullshit over with, he thought. 233 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: Keith sat down at his kit, John was ready, Roger 234 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: was somewhere close. The crowd was near asleep. Boy, were 235 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: they about to get a wake up call? In the 236 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: wings at the side of the stage an assortment of 237 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: hippie dippy illuminati, the show's organizer Michael Lang, singer and 238 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: activist country Joe MacDonald, who Pete had heard reportedly named 239 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: his kid after Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin. The fuck was 240 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: wrong with these people, he thought. Sly Stone wired out 241 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: of his mind from either the set he'd just performed, 242 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: or from the white lightning acid being passed around the 243 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: ho Chi mintrail, or both. The sly was there with 244 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: Gray Slick from Jefferson Airplane, who was set to take 245 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: the stage even later than the who, And of course 246 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: there was that dude who wouldn't shut the fuck up, 247 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: the big guy with the big hair and the your mouth, 248 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: talking white panther jive non stop Sinclair, this yippy, that 249 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: steal this concert, smoke this revolution, brothers, sisters, pigs, police, 250 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah, Abby Hoffman. He reminded Pete 251 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: of a less talented, less attractive, less interesting Lenny Bruce. 252 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: He thought about how this guy's stick would play back 253 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: in London. Not even Princess Margaret would fuck this guy? 254 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: Why did the Americans pay him any mind? Whatever, it 255 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: didn't matter who was ready. The set was about to start. Finally, 256 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: Roger looked at Pete. He nodded, shot a look at John, 257 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: then peered over to Keith behind the kit, and then 258 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: Abby Hoffman rushed the stage. He grabbed Pete's mike. Four 259 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: thousand of our brothers and sisters are being persecuted for 260 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: no more than we're doing on this hill. It's only 261 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: fair that we help out. We're the Woodstock nation, we 262 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: are one. What the fuck was this? Someone cut the mic. Thankfully, 263 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: Hoffman pissed, kicked the mic stand over. That did it? 264 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: Fuck this guy? Pete grabbed the neck of his guitar, 265 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: swung it back like a tennis racket, and swatted it 266 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: flat into Hoffman's hairy grill. Hoffman, dazed, stumbled for a 267 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: step or two toward the front of the stage before 268 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: falling over into the crowd. He was absorbed by the audience, who, 269 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: a day and a half into the festival, were too 270 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: sleep deprived and blitzed on acid to comprehend the violence 271 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: that had just taken place at this fugzy festival of peace. 272 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: Pete wasted no time. He looked again to Keith behind 273 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: the kit, who quickly counted the band off and into 274 00:17:42,520 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: the raucous set. Keith Moon had off switch. So you 275 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: can imagine what life was like for those around him 276 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: when he wasn't on the road or in the studio 277 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: without an outlet and constantly blitzed on pills and booze. 278 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: Keith went to great lengths to amuse himself, to keep 279 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: himself occupied, and, depending on their relationship to him, either 280 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: entertained or annoyed everyone who came in contact with him. 281 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: The fact that he was genuinely hysterical and rich beyond 282 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: most people's wildest dreams excused most of his behavior. Who's 283 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 1: the ugly chick in the back of the pub singing 284 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: beach Boys songs loudly and out of tune over the jukebox? Oh, 285 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: that's just our rock star neighbor, Mooned the loon and 286 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: drag having a pint with the locals. Leave him alone. 287 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: He always runs up a massive tab and he's good 288 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: for it. Why did Keith drive his brand new corvette 289 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: into the hand behind his mansion again? And why do 290 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: we have to tow it out for him? Who cares? 291 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: Moon is crazy? Besides, he has the best brandy and 292 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: never runs out of pymns back the tow truck up boys. 293 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: But the mad cap escapades Keith occupied himself with around 294 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: the homestead tested his attention span. He needed to get 295 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: out every now and then too, and given his behavior 296 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: in his constantly drug state, trouble violent trouble was never 297 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: far away. The pub, the Cranbourne Rooms, was about ten 298 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: miles from Keith's home. A friend had just opened it, 299 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: and Keith thought what better way to show support than 300 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: to appear in full rockstar glory and to run up 301 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: a massive bar tap. The bar was new, it's clientele 302 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: not yet firmly established, and Tonight's patrons were not what 303 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: was expected. The bar was walled wall with skinheads, working 304 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: class use from tough neighborhoods who suffered most everyone but 305 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: their own kind poorly. Yeah. Not unlike the Mods before them. 306 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: The Skinheads were a reaction to tradition, but their beef 307 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: wasn't with outdated cultural tropes. No, their beef was with 308 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: austere British economic policies that were at the time crippling 309 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: the working man. Pissed off at their windling career opportunities 310 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: and backsliding down the socioeconomic ladder, the Skins took the 311 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: violence to express their anger. They'd gotten into it a 312 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: year earlier, with long haired Stones fans outside of Hyde Park, 313 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: shaved for battle and dressed tight in Doc Martin's boots, 314 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: Fred Perry polo shirts, cuffed jeans and red suspenders. Skinheads 315 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: were like nothing anyone had seen before. But just like 316 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: the Mods, the Skins dug on black dance music, specifically 317 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: the type of West Indian influenced Jamaican styled ska that 318 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: Desmond Decker was bringing to the top of the charts 319 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: with his recent hit Israelites, a loosening of UK immigration 320 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: laws forced working class British youth to reckon with the 321 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: changing face of their neighborhoods. When immigrants, particularly West Indian Pakistanis, 322 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: came streaming in by the thousands, their young hosts loved 323 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: the music they brought, but that was about it. Packy bashing, 324 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: as it was called, became a favorite. Skin had pastime 325 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: right up there with street fighting in general, hooliganism violence. 326 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: It was the backbone of the skinhead ethos. The violence 327 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: was always there, just like it was with The Who. 328 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: But the skinheads had no time for the bloated rockstar 329 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: excess that the Who had become, and that Keith Moon 330 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: came to embody. They had no patience for fickle, elite 331 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: rich rock stars. So when Keith Moon pulled up to 332 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: the Cranborne Rooms on January fourth, nineteen seventy in his 333 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: shiny New Bentley chauffeured by his bodyguard and friend Neil Bolin, 334 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: ripped on Mandrex and Tom Collins, he literally couldn't have 335 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: found himself in a more hostile environment. The sight of 336 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: him dressed to the nines, yucking it up with that 337 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: shit eating grin and two finger thick unibrow, ordering drinks 338 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: willy nilly, loud, obnoxious. It was highly offensive to the Skinheads, 339 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: and they let him know, leering over at his booth 340 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: shouting insults. Keith shouted right back to him. It was 341 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: all in good fun, but his entourage knew better. Something 342 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: was different, and there was a darkness to the mood 343 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: of the room. The threat of violence was palpable, and 344 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: when closing time came, Keith and his friend spilled out 345 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: of the bar at the same time as the Skinheads, 346 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: who were now way drunk and spoiling for a fight. 347 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: And the sight of the rock star chauffeur Bentley outside 348 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: the modest pub gave the Skins all the ammo they needed. 349 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: They rained down obscenities on Keith and company as they 350 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: hardly ducked into the car. The Skins, now a small 351 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: mob of thirty or so drunk, angry, rockstar hating youth, 352 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: converged around the luxury automobile and began rocking it back 353 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: and forth inside the Bentley. The fear was thick and 354 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: they were stuck their hearts racing. They couldn't move the 355 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: car forward or backward for fear of running over the 356 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: pist off skins blocking their exit. The sound of fists 357 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: pounding on the roof added to the confusion and drowned 358 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: up the voice and Keith Chauffeur's head, the one that said, 359 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: chill the fuck out, Neil, this will all be over 360 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: in a moment. Sit tight. No. Instead, Neil decided to 361 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: reason with the angry skinheads. He jumped out of the 362 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: car before he could say a word, was consumed by 363 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: the mob. From inside the car, it looked as though 364 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: Neil just disappeared, like a lost ship drifting out at sea, 365 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: beyond the horizon. Once there, then, in an instant gone 366 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: fear soon turned to terror. Keith hopped in the front 367 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: seat and behind the driver's side wheel, drinking and drugging 368 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: all night, and unaccustomed to driving anything. It had been 369 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: years since he driven a vehicle on an actual street. 370 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: He was used to pools and ponds. He let his 371 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: lead foot pound the accelerator in the large Bentley heave 372 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: forward in a giant lurch before it was calmed to 373 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: a crawl by the brake thump. What was that? It 374 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: didn't matter. The skins were now worked into a fevered pitch. 375 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: They were screaming, kicking, the car, banging on the windows. 376 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: Keith moved the car down the road a little faster, 377 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: five miles per hour, ten miles per hour. The skinheads 378 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: began running alongside it, still screaming, still kicking. Finally, Keith 379 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: moved the Bentley faster and out of their reach and 380 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 1: up around the bed before pulling over at the insistence 381 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: of a frantic truck driver who driven up alongside them, 382 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: manically imploring them to stop the car. Hanging outside of 383 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: his own window, the truck driver was pointing to the 384 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: bottom of the bentley. No doubt about it. Something was wrong, 385 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: real wrong. Keith curbed the car, got out and walked 386 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: to the rear of the automobile to find his chauffeur, 387 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: Neil Bowlan's legs sticking out from underneath the backside of 388 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: the Bentley. Then, moved by adrenaline in sheer panic, he 389 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: reached underneath the card free Boland. Keith grobbed at whatever 390 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: he could to try and free his friend, and he 391 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: felt something wet, swishy his hand. It pulled out on 392 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: Lady Bolan's brains. Neil Bolan's head had been crushed like 393 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: an eggshell somehow in the melee. After Keith's chauffeur had 394 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: jumped out of the car to cool out the crowd. 395 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: Keith had run him over in the bentley and dragged 396 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: him down the road to his death. Neil Bolan was 397 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: taken by ambulance to a local hospital and pronounced dead 398 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: on arrival, and Keith Moon was despondent. The judge at 399 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: his trial took this into consideration and exonerated Moon of 400 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: all charges. Neil Bolan was not only keith schauffeur, but 401 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: his bodyguard and friend, and Keith and Neil were just 402 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: twenty four years old. Neil died trying to protect Keith. 403 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: Protecting Keith was a job that Neil had done well, 404 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: but the Gig up until then had been mainly protecting 405 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: Keith from himself, from his excesses, and from his dangerous, 406 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: often violent pranks. Violence is like a powder cake. Under 407 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: a certain canditions, it's harmless, but mix it with the 408 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: right ingredient and it'll blow up on you. Keith Moon 409 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: and the Who had flirted with violent disasters since their 410 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: earliest shows, smashing guitars into ceilings and then blowing up 411 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: kick drums with explosives on live television, and eventually whacking acid, 412 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: blitz pseudo revolutionaries across the face with guitars, and through 413 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: all of that, the band and Keith in particular skated 414 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: across life's thin ice pack to the gills with narcotics 415 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: and booze. So it was only a matter of time 416 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: before Keith's reckless behavior sparked a violent casualty. Neil Boland 417 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: was that casualty, and eight years later, after a night 418 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: not unlike almost every other night of his adult life, 419 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: Keith Moon filled himself to the lid with ooze and pills, 420 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: closed his eyes and never opened them again, and became 421 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: a casualty himself died before he got old. What a 422 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: drag and even call it on disgrace. I'm Jake Brennan 423 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: and this is Disgraceland.
