Re: Modern Drummer
> the new Modern Drummer magazine has Keith on the cover.
That link had some problems; not all the pictures loaded in. But yes,
I believe it's the September issue that will have a tribute to Keith Moon.
It *is* the 25th anniversary of his death, after all.
I love it when Keith is featured in these hoity-toity drum magazines
(which is not very often, sadly). The writers & drummers usually featured
are very pompous about their equipment & "craft" - and here comes pictures
of Moon smashing the fuck out of everything! Oooops!
Maybe, as a scholarly benefit to their readers, they'll musically tran-
scribe Moonie's technique of throwing his drums into the audience!

of man enter very largely & absorb much of the attention.
