?? We continue to document Rock’s historic sites. In this case we went to 224 Tokyngton Av. in Alperton, on the suburbs of Wembley. One of the most unhinged – and beloved – characters in the history of Rock, as well as one of the most brilliant drummers, was brought to this house after he was born in August 1946: Keith Moon. The family home. Unconsciously or not, he did his best to make a phrase from My Generation, the famous song by his band The Who, come true: “I hope I die before I get old”.
Keith, after several attempts, died in London at the age of 32.
?? Seguimos documentando los lugares históricos del Rock. En este caso fuimos hasta el 224 de Tokyngton Av. en Alperton, suburbio de Wembley. A esta casa trajeron apenas nacido allá por agosto de 1946 a uno de los personajes más desquiciados -y queridos- de la historia del Rock, además de ser uno de los bateristas más brillantes: Keith Moon. La casa de la familia. Inconscientemente o no, hizo lo posible por hacer realidad una frase de My Generation, la famosa canción de su banda The Who: “I hope I die before I get old”.
Keith, tras varios amagues, murió en Londres a los 32 años.
