Topic: Olympics Organizers Ask Keith Moon to Play Closing Ceremony

DUH!?!?




Organizers of the London Olympics approached the Who's manager to inquire about having Keith Moon play at an Olympics event despite the drummer being dead for nearly 34 years, the Sunday Times reports.

"I emailed back saying Keith now resides in Golders Green crematorium, having lived up to the Who's anthemic line 'I hope I die before I get old'," the band's longtime manager, Bill Curbishley, told the Times. "If they have a round table, some glasses and candles, we might contact him."

Moon died in 1978 at the age of 32 from an an accidental overdose of prescription pills. The Olympics organizers wanted the late drummer to take part in the Symphony of Rock, a celebration of British pop culture that will be part of the Games' closing ceremony on August 12th.

And while they're at it they might hook up with John Entwistle as well.

Keith moon dead for 34 years he is probably still a better drummer than most bands today!

If they can get Moon, Lennon, Entwhistle, Hendrix, Janis, Holly and Clemmons together it should be a damn good band.

I wish Keith and John were still alive but I'm glad they are not doing this show for the Olympics.
