ill try to dig out my "maximum r&b" book by richard barnes - i remeber a good moon story in it:

it was keith moons birtday in 1967 and the Who were on tour in america so they hired a function centre in a holiday inn hotel. At 11.30, the manager of the hotel came in and told them to wrap up the party. He came back at 5 to 12 adn the party was still going strong. He threatened to call the police and then keith moon chucked a cake in his face. this resulted in the WHo being banned from all holiday inns in america.
