==Biography==
Keith John Moon was born on [[23 August]] [[1946]] in [[Willesden]], [[London]] to Alfred and Kathleen Moon. He lived in [[Wembley]] as a boy and was extremely hyperactive and had a restless imagination as a child. As a youth, the only thing that could hold his attention was [[music]]. A report from his [[Secondary Modern school]] is not encouraging – his art teacher, for example, commented: 'Retarded artistically. Idiotic in other respects.'<ref name="reallives">{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/R/real_lives/moon.html|title=Real Lives: The Real Keith Moon|accessdate=2007-04-25|publisher=Channel 4}}</ref>
Even at an early age, one of his teachers ([[Aaron Sofocleous]]) praised his music skills and encouraged his chaotic style, even if one school report noted "he has great ability, but must guard against a tendency to show off". Moon failed his [[eleven-plus]] and left school in [[1961]].
Line 106:
In the 1993 film ''[[Wayne's World 2]]'', a [[veteran]] [[road crew|roadie]] tells how he, [[David Crosby]] and Keith Moon broke into a sweet shop in [[Sri Lanka]] to steal one thousand brown [[M&M's]] to fill a brandy glass, otherwise "[[Ozzy Osbourne|Ozzy]] wouldn't go on stage that night".
Moon is referenced as one of the supernatural acts to appear in the [[television]] version of Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes in ''[[You Know They Got a Hell of a Band]]''. His name was also mentioned in the original short story of the same name.
